Thread regarding Oracle Corp. layoffs

With all the focus on OCI, is Oracle still committed to Fusion apps ?? Has any of the restructuring lead to significant cuts in this area ??

Fusion Apps started out with an on premise design and architecture based on FMW. There was no talk about cloud until much later.

Yes, Fusion Apps started out with an on premise design and architecture. But the first few releases of Fusion apps was hosted only (cloud concept comes in much later) because the installation scripts failed big time. They can only CLONE the Gold environment instead of having any fresh installation.

LE's reaction to real information that may contradict what he thinks goes a long way towards explaining the current cloud mess. No one around him would tell him the truth, so just keep going down the stupid path to nowhere..... what a mess... all centered around an egomaniac who was too stupid to see what kind of effect he had on the people around him.

The reward for being honest with LE has always been getting fired. That’s how thin skinned egomaniacs like LE behave. Cannot tolerate anybody telling them that they’re wrong about anything. Off with their heads, right LE?!

Fusion apps is never "lift and shift" because it was never on-premise

Yeah, no. Fusion Apps started out with an on premise design an architecture based on FMW. Thee was no talk about cloud until much later. Then it was a rush job to figure out how to make the big monolith work in a hosted environment and sell that as cloud. And it was still sold as an on premises solution until a few releases ago (R8 or so?).

Rumors was that in the early days of Fusion apps, J Wookey realized it was too resource intensive, inefficient in development. He honestly shared his view with LE and was was let go.

Fusion was a total failure from the start. Funny that one of the things KB got fired for was being honest about what a pile of c-ap Fusion was already back them.

I read the latest news as focus away from OCI. Given that, stooges would be better off investing in products/services that customers are willing to pay for (aka database and applications).

They face different challenges there, since Fusion was "cloudified" with a lift and shift approach.

Fusion apps is never "lift and shift" because it was never on-premise. Lift and Shift applies to other Oracle on-premise applications that can also run on the cloud such as eBusiness Suites and PeopleSoft.

Didn't hear of any Fusion Apps layoffs. They face different challenges there, since Fusion was "cloudified" with a lift and shift approach. There's an extremely high personnel turnover in Fusion because of that chaos.
