I was asked to present by a partner on Oracle's vision of 2020. This is always an interesting area for discussion, we do not preannounce dates for products so I focused on what alternatives may be available for customers in the next few years.
Plan A: This will be based around Grid Architectures, Service Oriented Architectures and the next generation of Oracle Fusion Applications
Plan B: This will be based around Applications Unlimited and allows you to Protect, Extend, Evolve your investment with the Oracle Lifetime Support Policy
Plan C: A composite plan where a strategy is put in place to adopt technologies as they become adopted within the industry while using Applications Unlimited to smooth out progress in keeping with the business or government need.
