The Delhi-based printing and publishing software solutions company Summit Infotech will work with global software major Oracle in providing Indian regional language Oracle products. The joint work between both the companies will ensure local language capability of Oracle database products.

According to company officials, the first phase of product development is over and is currently under the test run stage. Both the companies would work together in using Oracle database products for Summit's solutions and products.
