Comments on: Oracle Fusion Applications: How Real Are They? http://blogs.gartner.com/jim_holincheck/2009/10/15/oracle-fusion-applications-how-real-are-they/ A member of the Gartner Blog Network Tue, 06 Dec 2011 16:20:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Sean http://blogs.gartner.com/jim_holincheck/2009/10/15/oracle-fusion-applications-how-real-are-they/comment-page-1/#comment-2077 Sean Fri, 16 Oct 2009 04:21:49 +0000 http://blogs.gartner.com/jim_holincheck/?p=452#comment-2077 It sounds like a fantastic step forward for ERP in general. From the vague reports available it seems fusion apps is a re-write; one in which design ideas rather than actual technology components are brought in from the legacy applications(PeopleSoft, JDE, Siebel and Oracle EBS). This is a great approach, but it will be interesting to see what the details are. For example - there has been a lot of discussion of social networking tools and embedded BI, but what about the core applications? For example for HCM (which is supposed to be mainly based on PeopleSoft) what components of PeopleSoft Global Payroll or Time & Labor (both products which are leaders in the ERP space) will be brought in. What will core HRMS look like. These are the foundation components of an ERP, and if these are not solid and tightly integrated the new enhancements will be a distraction. http://www.seanfcarroll.com It sounds like a fantastic step forward for ERP in general.
