New Roadmap Program from Oracle and BearingPoint Keeps Customers on the Road to Fusion
Oracle and BearingPoint have launched a new program to help customers build a business and IT strategy aligned with Oracle’s application and technology landscape, including its next-generation Fusion applications, slated to arrive in late 2008.
Called the
Roadmap to Application (RTA) Strategy, the program is designed to help customers create more information-centric, role-based, intelligent, and industry-specific systems leveraging the best components of Oracle’s application portfolio.
“The program answers important customer concerns about integrating IT systems, how new IT elements affect the entire system enterprisewide, how to get technology and applications into sync, and how to make decisions now that will make sense for your future needs,” says Robert Youngblood, managing director, Oracle Technology Solutions, BearingPoint.
Planning Is the Key to Success
The RTA strategy is not to “rip and replace” corporate systems, but to intelligently identify the options that best leverage the customer’s current corporate platform, while also considering the evolving technology landscape, the organization’s business goals, and Oracle’s road map. The RTA strategy considers a number of ways to economically invest in IT infrastructure, both in the short and long term, to provide quick paybacks. Through a series of short, concentrated evaluations of key corporate initiatives and trouble spots, consultants will put together a three- to five-year road map that plans the extension, evolution, and sometimes revolution, of corporate systems. Ongoing “health checks” and updates are also included in the program—accounting for changes in business conditions and maintaining consistent progress against program goals.
First Steps to Fusion
On the road to Oracle Fusion Applications, Oracle recommends that customers consider its next-generation
Oracle Fusion Architecture and
Oracle Fusion Middleware. In both architecture and functionality, these steps are designed to address today’s business challenges, including increasing the capacity for growth and change; improving insight into business operations and strategic drivers; mitigating risk and driving compliance; and enhancing the profitability and productivity of every connection with customers, partners, and workers. Oracle Fusion Middleware technologies are backward compatible with the current Oracle applications as well as many non-Oracle products. In addition, Oracle’s acquisition strategy has unlocked many acquired technologies to open standards, and strengthened the prospect for customers to create a more-dynamic infrastructure.
