The enterprise software giant said GoldenGate's technology will help boost Oracle customers' ability to make decisions based on timely information from multiple sources. "The combination of GoldenGate and Oracle is expected to create a comprehensive heterogeneous data integration platform," Oracle said in a statement.

GoldenGate and Oracle, which have been partners for more than a decade, will continue to operate independently until the deal closes.

"With the addition of GoldenGate, Oracle expects to help our customers achieve better performance through improved business intelligence and business continuity with real-time information," added Hasan Rizvi, senior vice president of Oracle's Fusion Middleware Product Development, also in a statement.
