>>Versions

OIM has evolved based on the needs of enterprise users. It was earlier a Thor Technologies product - after `F33f`_`[Oracle Corporation`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Oracle_Corporation]`_`f acquired Thor (2005), OIM 9i was released. OIM 9i was based on the `F33f`_`[Struts framework`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Apache_Struts_1]`_`f.

Later Oracle Corporation released OIM 11olg R1 based on Oracle Application Developmental Framework. In July 2012 Oracle released OIM 11g R2
