Oracle Applications Unlimited
As part of our lifetime support to our customers,
Oracle plans to provide continued enhancements to
the current Oracle Applications beyond the
delivery of Oracle Fusion Applications in 2008.
With Applications Unlimited, Oracle is planning
to enhance JD Edwards, Oracle, PeopleSoft and
Siebel applications on an on-going basis. Oracle
is providing more visibility into product
roadmaps, and helping customers derive continual
success from their current applications by
delivering dedicated, world-class development and
support for years to come. Oracle Fusion
Applications, which is built completely on
industry standards, will simply represent another
addition to the Oracle Applications family.
