Though technology will help on the long term to easily deliver solutions, but for the moment their are still too many unanswered questions. I had a discussion with someone was Oracle (Ex PeopleSoft) during the recent BRUG meeting, and he also shared my concern. He said that apart from cultural change that came about with takeover by Oracle the other major change was the manner of thinking between PeopleSoft and Oracle. Oracle's way of doing business is technology focussed. They want clients to buy a number of tools to help them develop a solution, but they dont want to sell the actual solution. Technically seeing this might be a good approach, but I as a customer want solutions. I am not interested in spending thousands of dollars in license fees and still develop my own solution. I want something off the shelf that I can tweak a bit and it serves my purpose. I hope in the coming period Oracle comes up with more concrete ideas on Fusion solutions, otherwise I think they will turn into another IBM.
