Oracle has announced availability of the Oracle Enterprise Single Sign-On Suite. The Suite is a component of Oracle Identity Management and helps simplify and improve security by providing single sign-on, access control and password management for virtually any application including Oracle's Web and non Web-based software such as Oracle Database, Oracle Forms, Oracle Discoverer, Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise and Oracle's Siebel applications, as well as non-Oracle applications.

Financial services, healthcare, government, telecommunications and organizations across all industries with extensive legacy applications and compliance requirements are positioned to benefit from Oracle Enterprise Single Sign-On Suite's ability to provide single sign-on for mainframe, client/server and Web-based applications.
