Oracle E-Business Suite
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oracle Applications is a collection of business ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) applications developed by Oracle Corporation, which utilize their core RDBM database technology. Sometimes referred to as Oracles "E-Business Suite", Oracle Applications (currently in the 11i series version), contains several product lines such as Oracle Financials, Oracle Logistics, Oracle HR, Oracle Sales, and others. Within each product, there are several modules, each to be separately licensed.
Key technologies incorporated into the applications are the Oracle database technologies, (RDBMS, PL/SQL, java, html, xml, engines), the "technology stack" (Oracle Forms Server, Reports Server, Apache Web Server, Discoverer, Jinitiator and (Sun Java).
Oracle developed the applications from a terminal based VT220 interface to a client server model in 10.7, only to drop this within the space of a year for the Network Computing Architecture (NCA). This was a revolutionary concept exploiting the internet/network and thin client computers.
