ANDOVER, MA--(Marketwire - August 26, 2009) - NaviSite, Inc. (
eCornell provides engaging, rigorous and interactive learning courses for professional and executive development, and has delivered over 117,000 courses to students across more than 180 countries. Its IT environment includes a mix of transaction processing, data warehousing, and content management applications supported by Oracle database. With data as one of its most strategic assets, eCornell needed a partner to assist with its data management challenges. NaviSite will support eCornell's Oracle database to improve performance of business systems, minimize downtime, and eliminate critical database concerns.

We are impressed with their enterprise class infrastructure and their proven track record and expertise in Oracle technology," said Alan McCarty, Assistant VP of Learning Technology at eCornell.
