"We knew we had to do the next generation combines the best features of PeopleSoft, E-Business Suite and Siebel," he said. "More than five years later, it ends up is most of the work .. ... It has been and continues to be a great engineering effort. "
Oracle must reapply functions "on the infrastructure of modern middleware," which is its own Oracle Fusion Middleware, "said Ellison.
There are about 10,000 unique business processes in the sequel, and 100 different products will be available simultaneously on general release, he said. "We've never done before, and I hope we will not again."
Oracle does not go into the cave "while the software development, according to Ellison. This is done enough testing with customers along the way to ensure satisfaction with the user interface, "he said.
The software "does not look much like the E-Business Suite, SAP does not look much like this modern interface .."
Applications are available at local or at the request of Oracle, he said. "You decide." Customers can start running the software on-demand and easy to move home if they wish, according to Ellison.
