Oracle Fusion Middleware software is designed to protect customers’ IT investments and work with both Oracle and non-Oracle database,
middleware and application software through its open architecture and adherence to industry standards. Specifically, Oracle Fusion Middleware
software is designed to enable customers to integrate Oracle and non-Oracle business applications, automate business processes, scale
applications to meet customer demand, simplify security and compliance, manage lifecycles of documents and get actionable, targeted business
intelligence; all while continuing to utilize their existing IT systems. In addition, Oracle Fusion Middleware software supports multiple
development languages and tools, which enables developers to build and deploy web services, websites, portals and web-based applications.
Oracle Fusion Middleware software is available in various software products and suites, including the following:
Java
Java is the computer industry’s most widely-used software development language and is viewed as a global standard. The Java programming
language and platform together represent one of the most popular and powerful development environments in the world, one that is used by
millions of developers globally to develop business applications. Oracle Fusion Middleware software products and Oracle Fusion Applications
are built using our Java technology platform, which we believe is a key advantage for our business.
Java is designed to enable developers to write software on a single platform and run it on many other different platforms, independent of
operating system and hardware architecture. Java has been adopted by both independent software vendors (ISV) that have built their products on
Java and by enterprise organizations building custom applications or consuming Java-based ISV products.
