being developed to unify best-of-business

capabilities from all Oracle Applications in a

more than that it is delivering this to the end user in a single experience, everything together in one place.

But you dont need to use everything Oracle, their Complete, Open and Integrated strategy means that where you have a need or desire for something else it can simply be slotted in.

May use EBS for ERP in a consolidation of Fujitsu Companies

At that point it would be useful to look to EBS to also do to look to EBS to also do scheduling

All FMW activities can simply be remapped no need to discard.

Who is where? (as at Sept 09)

Big guess where will we be in 5 years?

The Past tells us first release slow to adopt especially existing customers

However Fusion is not an all or nothing Mix & Match

Fusion GL with EBS Procure to Pay Fusion GL with EBS Procure to Pay Same Integration internal to Fusion will integrate different

applications At your own pace

My prediction 10 years before numbers on full Fusion higher than EBS, 6 years for partial implementations

Summary Fusion Apps are almost here Think about where you are and why Knowing what you know now what can you do in your organization? Get your own vision Take small steps to get there Take small steps to get there Have you taken some already? Keep up to date with your user group

What I Think About Fusion Apps Fantastic Cant wait to use (if you want to

go early employ me) Uptake will be slow BUT Uptake will be slow BUT It is a phenomenal showcase of

what Fusion Middleware technology can do
