Fusion is the Mirror and Unveiling of Oracle Customer Contempt

Oracle has punted on delivering integration as
a product:IF you consider the definition of
integration to be 'supplied as a buyable
product and supported by the vendor.'

Oracle's definition seems to be integration the
same way that Facebook and YouTube are
integrated-at the surface only and then
'pushing' or 'publishing' from one island to
another.

If you took notice during Safra and Charles
keynote, the screens all said 'Peoplesoft
Fusion Edition'-leaking out the go-forward
strategy. Isn't it incredible that fusion is
nothing more than webcenter (all-new UI) plus
analytics (all-new BI stack running from the
middle instead of inside a packaged product)
plus AIA pack (new license to create objects
outside the app) plus SOA suite/ADF (new
toolset to manually assemble workflows and BPM
outside the app)?

Fusion is the ability to multiply the
complexity and the number of license and
maintenance streams to Oracle. It guarantees
lock-in and removes the possibility of
consolidation.

Just put this massive custom-built one-off
multi-app mess on a single Exedata Sun/Oracle
only box and hide it all into a literal
'closet' as if your business leaders won't
notice the lack of true process integrity,
auditing, and financial transparency. It is an
act of deception that breaks every promise of
the word 'suite'.

Keep it all, pay for it all, and write one big
check to Larry. What a great strategy-if you
are an Oracle shareholder.

'Fusion' was supposed to be ONE FUSED PRODUCT.
Instead Fusion is 3000 products and
'wallpapered' Webcenter/Analytics/Middleware in
a big box to hide the fact that nothing has
fundamentally changed and Oracle diverted
billions from support-funded product innovation
to acquisitions providing new maintenance
streams.

Fusion is best defined as the number of
maintenance streams Larry can fuse into his
bank account. Customers should know better by
now.
