Oracle buys IP from Tacit to boost Beehive platform

I think this acquisiton demosntrates how serious Oracle is about it's latest Beehive strategy. The Orwellian sounding "Autoprofiling" feature of Tacit's Illumio for Enterprises (a SaaS service) and ActiveNet (an on-premises solution) offers an interesting alternative to profile-based social networking and expertise location solutions.

Seeking to beef up the capabilities of its recently launched Beehive collaboration platform, Oracle Corp. said today that it has bought the intellectual property of Tacit Software Inc. and hired all of its software engineers.
