Global CIO: Oracle’s Larry Ellison Declares War On IBM And SAP

May 4th, 2010ERP, Oracle 1 Comment

March 29, 2010 from InformationWeek – “…In Oracle’s earnings call late last week, Ellison promised that the second half of 2010 will be a momentous one for not only Oracle but also the entire IT industry and its enterprise customers because that’s when Oracle will roll out its completely reengineered Fusion software lineup along with more integrated and optimized Oracle-Sun systems…

Fueling Ellison’s bold claims was his promise that Fusion will permanently close the gaps between its traditional on-premise technology and the high-growth opportunities in on-demand and cloud-based applications…”

180 View – Oracle is about to change the game with Fusion. But the skeptic in me says that the new product will be light on functionality compared to its siblings – Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft and JD Edwards.

    Note: Oracle Fusion is the Middleware — Oracle Fusion Applications is the enterprise applications.

    These are interesting promises, but they’ve been saying this for several years see http://it.toolbox.com/wiki/index.php/Oracle_Fusion

    Also, Fusion Applications appear to be mostly based on e-business suite with a bit more functionality from the other Oracle products like Siebel.

    I wouldn’t expect much new functionality, the progress on service-oriented architecture and software as a service capabilities is what might be really interesting.
