Hi hrcon members .Keep your eye on the future . .>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> .Project Fusion an information architecture and application set supporting .the best elements of Oracle PeopleSoft and J.D. Edwards products. . .Excerpts from Profit's interview with John Wookey .Oracle SVP of applications development . .WOOKEY: To start with we are still going to be supporting the existing product lines .in their current technology architectures through 2013. .As far as Oracle's plan to further enhance and support versions of .PeopleSoft and J.D. Edwards products the estimated timeline is this . .PeopleSoft Enterprise 8.9 in 2005 .Oracle E-Business Suite 12 in 2006 .PeopleSoft Enterprise 9 in 2006 .and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 8.12 in 2006. . .Our next-step plan is to make the first Fusion products specifically data hubs .and transaction bases available sometime in 2006. . .Then in 2007 and 2008 you may start seeing Fusion-based applications .such as human resources.

So its time to brush up the Java skills then... . .Hmmm 2005 to 2008 i think that gives me time to learn it!
