Oracle to Confirm Commitment to Non-Fusion Applications
Great timing and/or intuition. Just when everything coming from Oracle has been heavily Fusion-centric, the company is expect to confirm its ongoing commitment to its wide array of non-Fusion applications. Here’s Anh Nguyen, reporting for Computerworld:
The company first announced its ‘applications unlimited’ policy back five years ago, its pledge to continue investing in and developing the applications that existed before Fusion indefinitely. These include E-Business Suite, JD Edwards, PeopleSoft and Siebel.
In his keynote presentation at the conference, Rajan Krishnan, VP of applications product development and product management for EMEA at Oracle, will review the upgrade releases for the applications over the past few years and provide a technology roadmap for the future capabilities of the applications.
Krishnan will also outline different approaches that users could take to adopting Fusion technologies.
That’s pretty much what we’re hearing. Everyone knows Fusion is eventually something that will creep its way into their IT strategy meetings, but in the meantime the concerns are much more tactical. Issues like, “Will Oracle continue to invest in and support my application infrastructure?” and “Will Oracle give me a cogent, reasonable plan to slowly adopt Fusion technology?” are two things we hear on a near-daily basis. Good to see Oracle’s reading off the same page as its customers.
