Oracle WebCenter, Portal and Unified Content Management
Nov 13th 2007vesterliOracle Portal & Oracle UCM & Oracle WebCenter
I’ve been considering how to describe the difference between Oracle WebCenter, Portal and Unified Content Management (what used to be Stellent), and I’ve come up with this picture:

It considers your requirements in two dimensions: How much content management do you need and how much application development do you need. To put in in another way: Unstructured data like documents need document management, and structured data needs applications.
If you need a lot of document management, you need Oracle UCM. If you need sophisticated applications, you might need WCS. But in general, Oracle Portal will cover quite a lot of application functionality as well as content management.
