Oracle cautiously pushes Fusion Applications to enterprises

From InfoWorld: Oracle is continuing to take a cautious approach in pushing its new Fusion Applications to enterprises.

At the Collaborate 11 user show in Orlando, Fla., today, a senior company executive said that enterprises that want to immediately implement Fusion Applications can do so, by taking advantage of Oracle's early adopter program.

However, Oracle will also continue to fully support its existing business application portfolio for customers that don't want to immediately migrate, said Steve Miranda, Oracle's senior vice president of application development.

The goal is to give customers a way to stay on their current upgrade path with their existing products and to deploy Fusion in modular fashion, when they are ready to do so, he said.

Miranda's comments come amid some concerns that Fusion Apps will somehow result in forced migrations for users of Oracle's legacy business application portfolio, even though Oracle itself has committed to continued enhancements of existing products under its Applications Unlimited program.
