Oracle Fusion
Is Your Organization Ready for Fusion ?
Being ready for Fusion and developing a Fusion strategy are two of the first key steps and MIPRO can help. Whether establishing a Fusion strategy, implementing select Fusion products stand alone, in conjunction with your current PeopleSoft products or through a parallel deployment of PeopleSoft upgrade and Fusion implementation, MIPRO is well suited to meet your organization’s specific needs.
Fusion Applications are built on top of the Oracle Fusion Middleware technology stack using Oracle’s Fusion Architecture as the blueprint. Oracle Fusion Applications offer a complete product suite spanning seven critical business areas:
-
Financial management
-
Supply chain management
-
Procurement
-
Human capital management
-
Project portfolio management
-
Sales
-
Governance, risk, and compliance
-
Enterprise performance management
MIGRATION TO ORACLE FUSION APPLICATIONS
The Oracle Fusion Applications platform was built with flexibility in mind, so companies can selectively add modules if and when it makes business sense.
Initially, most users will be concerned with how to integrate Oracle Fusion Applications into their core applications. This will be a substantially easier effort than migrating the entire core functionality. There are options/proposed path which can be observed in various Oracle papers.
Here’s a plan for the IT side which may be considered for the roadmap for the future of enterprise applications:
-
Continue on Your Current Path. This means you need to continue to take advantage of your current platform and evaluate the latest Applications Unlimited releases such as Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3, PeopleSoft Enterprise 9.1, Siebel Customer Relationship Management 8.2, and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.1 for the additional value they bring to the business. In addition to gaining value today, you will be in a position to upgrade to Oracle Fusion Applications in the future, if and when you choose.
-
Move to Fusion Step by Step. You need to adopt standards-based technology first. Consider Oracle Fusion Middleware as an in-house new initiative and developing skill sets in technologies such as Oracle Application Development Framework, Oracle content management products, Oracle SOA Suite, and Oracle WebCenter. These tools will help you integrate, extend, and manage your applications environment today and prepare you to add Oracle Fusion Applications if and when you choose by upgrading one environment and then reimplementing the rest whatever/whenever.
-
Upgrade to Fusion Applications. If you use any functionality that is not part of V1 but still see business value in going to Fusion Apps, this may result in multiple Fusion Apps instances.
-
Adopt a Coexistence Strategy. Add Oracle Fusion Applications modules to your existing environment or implement “pillars” (human capital management, sales, financials, or supply chain management applications), to extend the power of Oracle Fusion Applications into your applications portfolio.
