Research Institute Uses Oracle(R) Secure Enterprise Search to Deliver More
Relevant Information to Employees and Web Site Visitors

    REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., July 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
    -- The Jackson Laboratory, a leading non-profit biomedical research
institute located in Bar Harbor, Maine, has deployed Oracle(R) Secure
Enterprise Search.
    -- Using Oracle Secure Enterprise Search, The Jackson Laboratory is
providing its employees and visitors to its Web site with relevant, secure and
customizable search results about the organization's research, courses,
resources and services.
    -- The new system searches thousands of electronic documents and
datasheets and delivers relevant results to users through the organization's
public Web site.
    -- Oracle Secure Enterprise Search helps ensure search results display
only information that users are authorized to view, and conserves resources by
enabling The Jackson Laboratory to use the same system for public and employee
searches.
    -- Using Oracle Secure Enterprise Search, The Jackson Laboratory can
customize search results to deliver the most up-to-date information on courses
and research first, which significantly simplifies the search process for
scientists and potential students of the institute.
    -- Based on the success of the first phase of its Oracle Secure Enterprise
Search deployment, The Jackson Laboratory plans to roll out the product's
federated search capabilities across multiple databases and leverage its
clustering features to improve information display and search result
categorization.
    -- The Jackson Laboratory teamed with Echelon Consulting, L.L.C., a member
of the Oracle PartnerNetwork, to deploy Oracle Secure Enterprise Search.
    -- The Jackson Laboratory has also deployed Oracle Database and Oracle
E-Business Suite to improve business processes and organizational performance.

resources," said Patricia Eagan, senior manager, Web Communications, The
