The Evolution of Oracle Fusion
Oracle Fusion was launched in September 2010 and released in 2011. As Oracle Corporation bought over PeopleSoft, Seibel systems, JD Edwards, and Netsuite, Netsuite enhanced the features of each database and combined these features with Oracle EBS suite (on-premises) and Oracle Cloud to form Oracle ERP.
This combination makes it the most exciting and advanced suite of business applications with the best cloud user interface.
Before these acquisitions and enhancements, Oracle Corporation had Oracle Cloud applications, servers, storage, and processing on its managed global network data centers. Oracle Cloud provides Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS), and Data as a Service (DaaS).
Oracle Corporation also has the Oracle EBS suite of on-premises applications and middleware as on-premises applications, which allows businesses to host on-premises applications on their premises (their server environments). In this instance, businesses will have to acquire the hardware and purchase the licenses for each module they need.
With the growing inevitability of cloud-based services, Oracle Corporation launched the Oracle Fusion Cloud suite of applications in September 2010 and released it in 2011.
The Oracle Fusion Cloud is a cloud-based suite of applications that includes Oracle ERP functionalities and modules, as well as Human Capital Management (HCM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and Enterprise Performance Management (EPM).
It represents Oracle’s next-generation cloud applications, which integrate and improve upon the functionalities of its legacy on-premises applications. These applications are cost-intensive and seldom seen in the market. Businesses now prefer the Oracle Fusion Cloud suite of applications for their different business functions.
