Oracle Financials: the Benefits of Oracle's Fusion Principles
By Riccardo Lanzuolo
Fusion is a generic
name, which Oracle is using, to define the new packages of middleware,
architecture and also ERP applications. Mainly after the acquisitions Oracle has
done, this urge as a need, to incorporate the best of each side. For example,
Peoplesoft has excellence on human resources management products, Oracle
E-Business (Oracle Applications) is very good on financials (Oracle Financials),
and, a still pending to approve, Siebel is one of the best (if not the best)
solution for CRM (Customer Relationship Management).
The middleware and
architecture are ready to use, and the Fusion Applications (Oracle's Project
Fusion) is planned to be delivery in 2008.
In my opinion Oracle is
planning to have an excellent set of products, tools and middleware. The idea
around Fusion is BIG. It involves business applications as well as a huge amount
of technology that will make a real difference to Oracle Customers. If the so
called Fusion effect occurs, Oracle will have a real competitive advantage over
the others. Of course, there is a long way ahead and the market will react, but
the first steps are very important and this report deals exactly with such a
moment.
The Fusion strategy is
based on some technical principles, such as:
Utilization of Web
Services (SOA – Service Oriented Architecture);
Industry Standards,
like J2EE;
Business Process to
model how the company's software works (BPEL Standard);
BI tools integrated
into relevant business transactions;
Grid computing to
lower cost and increase safety and;
Easy management to
lower TCO.
It is going to be great
to see such huge software, like Fusion Applications, using these technologies.
The companies will benefit the easy of modularity within its business process;
this is an old promise, since object technology is around. J2EE is a well
established standard, so the applications customizations will be easier and away
from proprietary languages. The use of SOA, applied all around the products,
will allow easy of integration one of the most expensive issues today.
