Leading Analyst Firm Positions Oracle in Leaders Quadrant in Operational Risk Management Software for Financial Services Report

   ORACLE CORPORATION

REDWOOD SHORES, CA UNITED STATES
    REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    -- Today, Oracle and i-flex solutions -- which recently unveiled plans
to change its name to Oracle Financial Services Ltd.
http://www.oracle.com/corporate/press/2008_apr/ofs.html -- announced that
they were evaluated and positioned in the Leaders quadrant of the recent
Gartner report, "Magic Quadrant for Operational Risk Management Software
for Financial Services."(1)

    -- The Gartner Magic Quadrant positions vendors within a particular
quadrant based on completeness of vision and their ability to execute on
that vision.

    -- Oracle's Reveleus Operational Risk solution provides in-depth
insight across the enterprise to effectively identify, monitor, and manage
operational risk within a comprehensive Governance Risk and Compliance
(GRC) framework.

    -- Reveleus Operational Risk provides a full-range operational risk
framework across assessment, process mapping, workflow management, key risk
indicators (KRIs) and loss event capture, including data management and
extract, transform and load (ETL) tools for quantitative operational risk
and compliance management.

    -- Through integration of its Mantas product, Reveleus also can provide
surveillance and behavior detection related to anti-money laundering (AML),
know-your-customer, fraud and trading compliance.

    -- According to Gartner, "This (Leaders) quadrant tends to be occupied
by vendors with software applications that are addressing qualitative as
well as quantitative aspects of ORM (operational risk management). These
vendors have achieved a high level of market acceptance and enable a
consistent view of operational risk across the organization as compared to
separately designed and implemented risk calculation engines or audit,
control and compliance reporting tools. Such vendors approach operational
risk more comprehensively and holistically across the enterprise and link
operational risk to CPM. They have robust organizational structures and
professional services resources."

    -- "Financial institutions internationally are using Reveleus GRC
solutions to help achieve quantifiable benefits, ranging from simple cost
efficiencies to improved share price, that are driven by reductions in
perceived risk from investors," said S Ramakrishnan, CEO for Mantas and
Reveleus. "We believe Reveleus' placement in the Leaders quadrant
underscores the value we provide in helping organizations achieve business
objectives while also protecting their assets and reputations in the highly
competitive financial services industry."
