 Why Fusion

• Oracle EBS was launched in the 1980s, while Oracle Fusion was launched a decade ago.
• Oracle Fusion ERP Product is built based on different flavors of ERP products acquired by Oracle
like People soft, JD Edwards, Siebel CRM, and from in-house Oracle EBS as well.
• The workflow is better in Oracle Fusion when compared to Oracle EBS.
• The security is way better in Fusion as it is a cloud-based application.
• The SOD (Segregation of Duties) is available in Fusion, whereas in EBS, the users will have to
hire consultants to do the SOD and role creation.
Cloud computing is the practice of using a network of different servers that host, store, manage and process data
online — in “the cloud”.

Cloud computing is classified into three categories – Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS)
and Software as a Service (SaaS).
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):
• The lowest level is infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS). This is where pre-configured
hardware is provided via a virtualized interface. There is no high level infrastructure
software provided, this must be provided by the buyer embedded with their own virtual
applications. Some vendors like Oracle will provide operating system also as part of their
IaaS service but not all.
• IaaS includes servers, memory, storage, network and data center. This service is similar to
the company data center, but it is provided by Vendor.
• Vendor is responsible for Virtualization, Storage, Servers, Networking and Operating
System. Customer is responsible for Applications, Data and middleware.
• Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS) are
some of the IaaS providers. Users don’t see any difference for moving the applications
from on-premises to IaaS. Oracle EBS applications can be run on the Cloud platform
using IaaS model.
• It helps you to get out of the data center business and taking advantage of modern
infrastructure. While IaaS customers are usually responsible for installing and maintaining
the operating system, databases, security components, and applications.
Platform as a Service (PaaS):
• It refers to cloud-based platform services that provide developers with a framework they can use to
build custom applications upon.
• Platform as a service (PaaS) goes a stage further and includes the operating environment included the
operating system and software tools (database/middleware/development tools).PaaS suits organizations
that are committed to a given development environment for a given application but like the idea of
someone else maintaining the deployment platform for them.

• PaaS provides let developers build custom applications online without having to deal with data serving,
storage, and management.
• Customer is responsible for Applications & Data. Vendor is responsible for Runtime, middleware, O/S,
Virtualization, Storage, Servers and Networking.
• Software as a Service (SaaS):
• It refers to cloud-based software that is hosted online by a company and is available for purchase on a
subscription basis and is delivered via the internet.

• SaaS offers fully functional applications on-demand to provide specific services such as CRM, ERP,
email management, web conferencing and an increasingly wide range of other applications.

• Sales Force, ERP Cloud Applications (Oracle SCM/Financial Cloud), Office 365 and Google Docs
etc., are SaaS applications
• It is subscription model. Pay as you go
• No customizations. Use PaaS for customizations and the PaaS application is integrated with SaaS
application using web services.
• Single code set for all customers
• Professionally managed by Vendor
• Cloud native applications
• Customers don’t have control on patching/upgrades
• SaaS has become a common delivery model for many business applications including ERP softwares.
 Why EBS

Comprehensive Yet Complex: Oracle EBS offers a wide array of modules and features, covering areas
such as:
• Financial Management
• Procurement
• Supply Chain Management
• Human Resources
• Project Management However, this extensive range can also lead to complexity, making it potentially
overwhelming for smaller businesses or those with more straightforward needs.
Integration: While Oracle EBS applications are designed to work together, integrating them with other
non-Oracle systems can be challenging and require additional resources and expertise.
Customization: Oracle EBS allows for customization, but this process can be complex and time-
consuming, often requiring specialized knowledge or external consultants.
Cost: Oracle EBS is a significant investment. The licensing, implementation, customization, and ongoing
maintenance prices can be high, especially for smaller businesses.
