Fusion Applications are intended to unify the best functionality from Oracle's traditional applications into a single suite delivered using Oracle's open technology platform. This will provide a complete, integrated, and next-generation user experience. Key aspects of Fusion Applications include consolidating features from Oracle's E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, and Siebel applications, as well as new capabilities. Fusion is built using a service-oriented architecture and Oracle Fusion Middleware to enable integration, extensibility, and manageability. While Fusion Applications are still in development, Oracle is promoting strategies for customers to prepare for and eventually transition to the new platform.
![Service Orientated Architecture - Wiki
• In computing, Service-oriented architecture (SOA) provides methods for systems
development and integration where systems group functionality around business
processes and package these as interoperable services.
• SOA also describes IT infrastructure which allows different applications to exchange
data with one another as they participate in business processes. Service-orientation
aims at a loose coupling of services with operating systems, programming languages
and other technologies which underlie applications.
• SOA separates functions into distinct units, or services, which developers make
accessible over a network in order that users can combine and reuse them in the
production of business applications.
• These services communicate with each other by passing data from one service to
another, or by coordinating an activity between two or more services. Many
commentators[who?] see SOA concepts as built upon and evolving from older
concepts of distributed computing and modular programming.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/dlinsync10fusaapps-100824010915-phpapp01/85/D-linsync10-fusaapps-23-320.jpg)
![Business Intelligence - Wiki
• Business intelligence (BI) refers to skills, knowledge, technologies, applications, quality, risks,
security issues and practices used to help a business to acquire a better understanding of market
behavior and commercial context. For this purpose it undertakes the collection, integration,
analysis, interpretation and presentation of business information. By extension, "business
intelligence" may refer to the collected information itself or the explicit knowledge developed from
the information.
• BI applications provide historical, current, and predictive views of business operations, most often
using data already gathered into a data warehouse or a data mart and occasionally working from
operational data. Software elements support the use of this information by assisting in the
extraction, analysis, and reporting of information. Common functionality of business intelligence
applications includes reporting, OLAP, analytics, dashboards, scorecards, data mining, corporate
performance management (CPM), and predictive analysis.
• BI applications tackle sales, production, financial, and many other sources of business data for
purposes that include, notably, business performance management. BI operatives may gather
information on comparable companies to produce benchmarks.
• Business intelligence — the term dates at least to 1958 — aims to support better business
decision-making.[1] Thus one can also characterize a BI system as a decision support system
(DSS):[2] BI is sometimes used interchangeably with briefing books, report and query tools and
executive information systems. In general, business intelligence systems are data-driven DSS.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/dlinsync10fusaapps-100824010915-phpapp01/85/D-linsync10-fusaapps-27-320.jpg)

- 28. Enterprise Performance Management - Wiki • Business performance management (BPM) (or Corporate performance management, Enterprise performance management, Operational performance management, Business performance optimization) is a set of processes that help organizations optimize their business performance. It is a framework for organizing, automating and analyzing business methodologies, metrics, processes and systems that drive business performance. • BPM is seen as the next generation of business intelligence (BI). BPM helps businesses make efficient use of their financial, human, material and other resources. • For years, owners have sought to drive strategy down and across their organizations, they have struggled to transform strategies into actionable metrics and they have grappled with meaningful analysis to expose the cause-and-effect relationships that, if understood, could give profitable insight to their operational decision makers. • Now corporate performance management (CPM) software and methods allow a systematic, integrated approach that links enterprise strategy to core processes and activities. “Running by the numbers” now means something as planning, budgeting, analysis and reporting can give the measurements that empower management decisions.
