Oracle 'same old' strategy for post-Siebel CRM
Oracle has unveiled its strategy to deal with the integration of its Siebel business with the CRM operations of JD Edwards, Oracle and PeopleSoft. The key message is "no change". The company plans to continue with all its current lines of business for the foreseeable future, with the promise of full integration through its Fusion strategy at some point. At a conference on Tuesday for customers and press in London, Oracle offered few concrete details on future plans for the four existing customer relationship management businesses other than to insist they would continue as they are under the same financial models and the same software. But the company did say Oracle-Siebel CRM will form "the centrepiece of the next-generation Oracle Fusion CRM applications strategy".

Oracle apps launch, short on glitz, long on reassurance
Oracle's launch of new releases of its five application families was a surprisingly sober affair, designed to restate the vendor's May 2006 pledge to continue to enhance all of the software products. The event took place Wednesday in the glamorous red and gold Hudson Theatre in the heart of New York's theater district, but there was no burlesque-style entertainment or amusing video skits. Instead, there was a series of straight-up presentations and product demonstrations from Oracle executives outlining the functionalities of the new versions. Oracle displayed E-Business Suite (EBS) 12.0, PeopleSoft Enterprise 9.0, Siebel CRM 8.0, JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 8.12 and JD Edwards World A9.1. EBS is Oracle's long-time applications suite, while the vendor picked up all the other ERP (enterprise resource planning) and CRM (customer relationship management) software through the acquisitions of PeopleSoft and Siebel.
