Five reasons to feel excited about learning Oracle UCM
I want you to feel this way because you picked a very good product to master. Here's why:
Oracle is a great company, leader in the marketplace, and offers great support.
The UCM itself has been around for 14 years, has thousands of happy customers and you'll come to appreciate its speed, simplicity, and reliability.
I actually challenge you to find an enterprise level UCM solution that can run completely on 512 MB of RAM, fit on a 1 GB flash drive, and run on an outdated laptop! And offer comparable response speed. Most of the tools today are bloated, take an enormous amount of hardware and are slow. Not every laptop or even desktop will let you run a copy or SharePoint 2007. Certainly, not — if you have 2 GB or RAM!
It doesn't take a lot of effort to configure and learn, which you can actually see by the size of this book! It's not that another thousand page volume with a hundred of pages of dedicated to installation and configuration.
And it doesn't take two weeks just to get up and running. (In fact, in the first chapter I'll show you how to build and configure your own Content Server in a short afternoon).
So let's take a look at your eight-hour Quick Start System.
