In a bid to boost acceptance of its middleware offerings, Oracle has re-branded the products as Oracle Fusion Middleware and revealed a roadmap for certifying PeopleSoft and JD Edwards (JDE) applications. Oracle Fusion Middleware is the new name for an existing group of products that make up the company's applications integration stack. They include Oracle Application Server 10g, Web services infrastructure, enterprise service buses, Business Intelligence (BI) tools, enterprise portals and mobile-data hubs and collaboration technology. Oracle database applications are not included, said Rick Schultz, vice president of product marketing at Oracle, in an interview. Oracle is hoping the re-branding campaign will draw more attention to its middleware product offerings as it fights for share of mind with SAP's NetWeaver in the emerging Web services applications integration space. Since it is based on Java and Web services standards, Oracle claims it will be easier to use Fusion Middleware to modify Oracle programs and share information with non-Oracle-based environments. "The brand helps customers become aware of the different components, how well they're integrated with each other and how effective they are to integrate applications in the heterogeneous IP environment," said Schultz.
