Itemfield, a maker of universal data transformation software, announced Oct. 16 that it has started a new collaboration with Oracle.
The company, based in San Mateo, Calif., said that it would begin to integrate its ContentMaster software, which automates data transformation, with Oracles Warehouse Builder 10g Release 2.
Itemfields software transforms data into high-performance and transaction-intensive applications as well as SOA (service-oriented architectures).
The integration of the two products will allow customers of Oracles Warehouse Builder to handle both unstructured data, such as Microsoft Word and Excel, or semi-structured data, such as EDI (Electronic Data Interchange).

On Oct. 9, Oracle announced that it purchased Sunopsis, a Massachusetts company that produces data integration software.
