The “Oracle Guy” was Steve Miranda, the Oracle Sr. VP in charge of building the Fusion Applications. I should have given the panel members some time to introduce themselves and their backgrounds but Steve was on a very tight schedule and we were lucky to get him to answer any questions about Fusion. As Fusion Apps become available, hopefully their will be more user involvement but, at this point, that’s a ways away.

thx,
John

Just to clarify one point (I’ve been asked by someone who read this) “One important remark on Fusion Applications: Oracle Forms will no longer exist in Fusion Applications”

This is correct but I hoping is not a surprise to anyone!. Oracle is taking the Ebiz, PeopleSoft. Seibel etc etc Applications and launching “Fusion Applications” which will be a best of breed business suite based on standards. So yes. In time, Oracle Forms will not be part of that. Forms is still part of the Ebiz Suite 12 and using the latest version of Forms (10.1.2) I think (don’t quote me) the desupport of Apps 12 is about 2017 – so we are not talking soon.
Oracle Forms still remains a supported and developed product and is delivered as part of the Oracle Application Server (sometimes called Fusion Middleware).

Hope that clears things.

Grant
