Fusion Applications !!!

What is it anyway?



What is it anyway?

What is “Fusion Applications”

Fusion Applications is neither “Fusion Technology” nor“Fusion Middleware”, rather it is a new generation ofbusiness application (just like existing EBS, PeopleSoft,or Siebel) that is built using Fusion Middleware fromground up, only better

Fusion applications is Not any of the current applications; and It is all of the current applicationso mashed up along with usability and business process optimization

giving birth to a new set of better applications

Upgrade Scenarios



Upgrade Scenarios

Upgrade Scenarios

One to One EBS to Fusion Apps PeopleSoft Financials to Fusion Apps PeopleSoft HRMS to Fusion Apps Siebel CRM to Fusion Apps

Many to One Can not be done through automated upgrade path Upgrade one environment first and then reimplement rest

One to Many If you use any functionality that is not part of V1 but still see business

value in going to Fusion Apps, this may result in multiple Fusion Appsinstances.

Upgrade Styles

Continue with Apps Unlimited Path Upgrade only when you are ready

Big Bang upgrade to Fusion Applications Suitable for only some companies, especially service based ones Fusion V1 doesn’t include all the functionality (for example lack

of localization support, budgetary control, manufacturingmodules, etc.)

Upgrade Styles

Co-Existence Approach Co-existence of parts of Fusion Applications with current

applications environment Pre-packaged co-existence integrations (about 10 of them with

V1) using SOA and ODI. For example:o Fusion distributed order orchestration to non-Fusion order entry

fulfillmento Fusion Accounting Hub to non-Fusion financials

Adoption and Implementation

Get trained in Fusion Middleware Technologies Or become a Dinosaur… Eventually…

Prepare to re-implement if your current installation is heavilycustomized Take stock of all customizations Document existing business processes Identify and document process issues and deficiencies

Upgrade (probably technical) to EBS R12 if you are on R11i andyour installation is either vanilla or lightly customized Can upgrade easily from R12 to Fusion Applications, though you can

technically upgrade from R11i to Fusion Applicationso Older versions of EBS (prior to R11.5.10) will not be able to directly

Explore implementing Fusion MDM applications eitherfor Customer or for Product or both initially This will give you following benefitso You are implementing a must have application that you most likely

have not implemented yeto Learn the inner workings of Fusion Applications in the processo By the time you are ready to migrate from Apps Unlimited

Applications to Fusion Applications• You will have trained resources• The product would have stabilized• Oracle might have released one or two point versions• Possibly increased functionality like releasing of

Manufacturing modules and/or MDM solution for otherdomains like Sites, Suppliers, Accounting, etc.
