Oracle buys yet again

Oracle has agreed to acquire Netsure Telecom, a provider of network intelligence and network data integrity software. It plans to add Netsure's products to its communications applications suite.

Netsure, a private company based in Dublin, Ireland, makes software that helps ensure the smooth operation of existing and next-generation networks and services. It counts Vodafone and Cable & Wireless as users of its software. Its main software is the Active Network Optimisation product suite.

The financial details of the transaction were not disclosed and Oracle expects the deal to be finalised later this month.
