Nearly two years after Oracle's takeover of PeopleSoft and JD Edwards, the enterprise applications giant has integrated advanced network optimization and production scheduling functionality, acquired from JD Edwards, into the Oracle E-Business Suite of enterprise applications.

The two modules -- Oracle Strategic Network Optimization and Oracle Production Scheduling -- will be sold as extensions to Oracle's Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) suite. They are now available globally, said Nadeem Syed, Oracle's vice president for advanced planning products.

The addition of the planning tools, Syed said, is part of Oracle's strategy to continue to support and extend existing applications while creating a new enterprise suite -- dubbed Fusion Applications -- that will assimilate the best functionality from Oracle's existing application product families.
