The integration will allow Oracle customers to easily include Nokia's maps data into their own Oracle-based business applications. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.</p><p>As part of the deal, Oracle customers will now be able to license the Nokia Location Platform, which provides maps for nearly 200 countries, for use in their applications. Oracle customers worldwide have access to this new capability beginning today, the companies said.</p><p>"Few data providers have the ability to provide map data for analytics and integrated platform services for the creation of mapping applications in one solution," Jim Steiner, vice president of product management for Oracle server technologies, said in a statement. "Nokia is the only provider of both map data and online mapping services that are integrated with Oracle products."</p><p><a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2410412,00.asp">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.fiercemobilecontent.com/story/nokia-oracle-ink-mapping-agreement-business-apps/2012-10-01">Nokia, Oracle ink mapping agreement for business apps</a> (Fiercemobilecontent)</p><p><a href="http://www.slashgear.com/nokia-supplies-oracle-with-maps-tech-01249809/">Nokia supplies Oracle with Maps tech</a> (SlashGear)</p><p><a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/2010890/nokia-oracle-team-on-mapping.html">Nokia, Oracle team on mapping</a> (PCWorld)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?pz=1&ned=us&ncl=dPcAQ7tpbT5u4bMMT58j3YXOzkAHM">280 additional articles.</a></p>
