Apps Fusion, What is behind it!

I have talked for a while about Fusion Application concepts.
What blew me away was the vision, all of the technology was there and I could identify with it all, so if it was available could I build my own Fusion Applications? And yes if I had the resources, the investment and above all the vision I could. In the past 12 months Oracle has moved closer to the release of the suite with a promised release date of 2010. 2010. At Oracle Open World Larry Ellison showcased the product and immediately afterwards my NDA was lifted. So I can now talk more about the product but actually it is the technology that this paper concentrates on.

My objectives remain the same. I want is for the audience to think about what Oracle is doing, how it fits together and what they need to be planning and building skills around Fusion, not just if they are intending to use Oracle applications Initially the term 'Fusion' was ignored by the technical community it was just about applications, to get the message out that the applications would be about the technology Oracle renamed their middleware Fusion MiddleWare. The tools are available today and many of you are using them. My concern is that as the business community start to see the Fusion Applications they will not appreciate that behind the great 'user interface' there is a great deal of technology that needs to be maintained and exploited for business benefit.

If you understand today, how Fusion Applications will work, how the tools are here now and think about how you can improve the investment of your organization you can build the business case to invest in those skills today and be ahead of the game.
