Featured Oracle WebCenter reviews

Head of Development and Implementation at Arak Petrochemical Company

WebCenter content access has a lot of options and flexibility. At this time, I only see one problem: in the sub-content and channels surrounding Windows 10. It only functions with Windows 7 and Windows 8. All of the operating systems in my company are up-to-date and we are using Windows 10. For whatever reason, you can't use the Oracle content on these platforms at all. This lapse is very bad for my company because I can't change the version of Word and downgrade. Maybe it is just a technical problem. But it is a lot of my problem with this solution currently.

The solution should be offered in Persian. Right now, our version is in English, and there's a bit of a language barrier between the users and the product. It would be helpful if Oracle could create some sort of facility to customize templates easily if users use JavaScript or other internal tools.
