Oracle Fusion Applications architecture

So, its time for Fusion Applications....

Oracle Fusion Applications follows a modular, standards-based architecture and making it highly adaptable. This standards-based technology enables you to respond effectively to change with flexible, modular, user-driven business software that is powered by best-in-class business capabilities built on open standards. Its technology framework includes the following products:

Oracle WebCenter - design time and runtime tools for building enterprise portals, transactional websites, and social networking sites.

Oracle Business Intelligence 11g -  analyze, present, report, and deliver organizational data.

Oracle Universal Content Management - document management, Web content management, digital asset management; and records retention functionality to build and complement your business applications.

Oracle Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Suite  - designing, deploying, and managing SOA composite applications

Oracle WebLogic Server - scalable, enterprise-ready application server based on Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE).

Oracle JDeveloper  - modeling, developing, debugging, optimizing, and deploying Java applications and web services.

Oracle Enterprise Manager  - applications management, integrated application to disk management, integrated systems management, and support experience.

Oracle Identity Management -  user identities and to secure access to enterprise resources and assets.

Using a standards-based architecture drives down cost for integration and enables you to reuse systems and technologies. Standards-based architecture also enables the flexibility of the applications. You can fit the applications to your business by configuring not only the user interface, but also the business objects, the business processes, the business logic, and business intelligence.

This picture illustrates the architecture of Oracle Fusion Applications.

Oracle Fusion Applications uses a unified data model, which is a superset of E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, and Siebel entities and attributes and you can extend this data model while maintaining consistent semantics.

So its time to start the installation and configuration. Wait for Oracle Fusion Applications installation details in next post
