More on Oracle/ARIS
August 3rd, 2006
Oracle’s Devesh Sharma has corrected my speculation yesterday that the ARIS deal is mostly focused on the dogfight between Oracle Fusion Apps and SAP/NetWeaver.

Yes, the Oracle Apps team is one very important customer for the “Oracle BPM Solution” — 1000 demanding beta users, with Larry’s ear to boot! – but not the only one. Armed with the new Oracle BPA Suite (i.e., ARIS), Oracle is also going after corporate customers in the mainstream BPMS market, Oracle ISVs looking to do something similar to the company’s own Fusion Apps, and system integrators looking to create their own repositories of models representing best practices and solution templates.
