Oracle Fusion

Oracle Fusion

Oracle Fusion is a family, or group, of software applications developed by Oracle. It is designed for use by businesses, specifically medium to larger sized businesses, because of the cost for licensing of the software.

Businesses can use one or more of the Oracle Fusion applications, as the applications are designed to integrate together and provide greater efficiency with business functions and operations.
