- by Natalia Rachelson
All eyes were on Oracle this past week and the news cycle was in full swing. What
better time to make some key announcements that were guaranteed to create
buzz ... and so we did. The name of the game was Cloud!
Here are the key Cloud announcements for Apps, which included Fusion Tap that
enables mobility across all Cloud Apps, HCM customer momentum in the Cloud, and
our very first ERP Cloud Services customer.
Oracle Unveils Oracle Fusion Tap for the iPadOracle
Fusion Tap - Productivity Amplified Anywhere, Anytime
"Both the enterprise and technology providers must recognize the need to
innovate and adapt for the increasing mobility of the workforce - not just for
sales teams, but across the organization," said Carter Lusher, Research Fellow
and Chief Analyst of Enterprise Applications Ecosystem, Ovum. "A mobile
application that quickly and powerfully allows employees to make connections,
analyze data, and complete activities at any time and wherever they may be
located drives new levels of business value and enhances efficiency. Frankly,
mobile access is no longer a 'nice to have' but a 'must have.'"
"The
mobile workforce is a business reality, and Oracle Fusion Tap is an example of
how Oracle delivers mobile and cloud innovations that fundamentally improve
productivity and how we work," said Chris Leone, Senior Vice President of
Application Development, Oracle. "With Oracle Fusion Tap users will have an
all-in-one, easily extensible app that puts mission-critical data and colleague
connection at their fingertips."
