1. Challenge

In todays demanding and rapidly

changing world, information embedded in
technology applications is playing an ever
important role in achieving a competitive
edge and helping organizations deal with
new challenges. Business demands have
changed significantly over the last 20
years. Rapid processing of vast amounts
of business data has become vital to
increase business efficiency and return on
IT investments. Most recently, the modern
world requires organizations to embrace
new ways of working and dealing with a
growing shortage of qualified IT staff.
Does your organization face these
challenges and repeatedly asks itself one
of the following questions:
How can we create and maintain an
integrated and flexible IT landscape
with optimal total cost of ownership?
What are the options to implement an
IT solution based on open standards
making it flexible for upgrades?
Can we adapt and make optimal use of
new web habits such as smartphones
and tablets?
How can we overcome inconsistent
user experience and improve the
quality of our interfaces?
Can we provide access to real-time
data so our business users can make
optimal use of business data?

questions is Oracles latest ERP solution:

4. Implementation

Organizations can choose between three

options towards a Fusion implementation,
each at its own specific business pace.
These options are explained in more detail
in figure 2.
Oracle Fusion Applications suites and/or
modules can be hosted in an Oracle cloud
or on physical servers at clients premises.
Oracle cloud environments can be securely
shared with other organizations (Pubic
Cloud) to decrease operating costs.
Alternatively, organizations can choose a
hosted private environment (Private Cloud)
to meet local legislation or strict data
integrity/security requirements. A mix of
these options for multiple modules/suites
is possible as well, providing organizations
the opportunity to adapt to the hosting
model which meets their security and
hosting needs.
