Oracle Fusion Middleware is a comprehensive, standards-based suite of Middleware that integrates an Application Server, Business Integration, Business Process Management, Business Intelligence, Enterprise Portal, and Identity Management into a unified suite. Built on a standards-based Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Oracle Fusion Middleware presents a significant revenue and business opportunity for partners. The comprehensive, integrated software enables customers to more easily adopt, manage and secure SOAs across heterogeneous computing environments. More than 4,800 ISVs in every major industry - manufacturing, telecommunications, financial services, education, healthcare and pharmaceutical, public sector, transportation and logistics - support Oracle Fusion Middleware.

Many ISVs also use Oracle Fusion Middleware and standard-based SOA to integrate with Oracle's Enterprise Applications including Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise, Oracle's Retail Merchandise Operations Management, Oracle's JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, and Oracle's Siebel CRM applications. With the rapid adoption of Oracle Fusion Middleware in small and medium enterprises, ISVs and Value-Added Distributors that target this market are very rapidly supporting Oracle Fusion Middleware Standard Edition One.

"Oracle Fusion Middleware provides our global and regional partners an opportunity to create and deliver critical business solutions that can be used across Oracle and non-Oracle IT environments," said John Gawkowski, vice president, Platform Technology Solutions, Oracle. "We are experiencing unprecedented channel support for Oracle Fusion Middleware and its unique hot-pluggable architecture."

CPSG’s role in the support of Oracle Fusion Middleware will focus primarily in support of Oracle Identity Management, the security backbone for Oracle Fusion Middleware.

As security and compliance requirements remain a high priority for organizations of all sizes and industries, partners are increasingly focusing on Oracle Identity Management. Comprised of comprehensive identity and access management software, Oracle Identity Management enables partners to deliver applications and solutions that help customers decrease security threats across diverse IT environments while automating key compliance controls. Leading SIs and consulting companies are incorporating Oracle Identity Management into their security and compliance practices while ISVs are using it to strengthen the security of their applications.

“Oracle has demonstrated to CPSG and our clients that through the acquisitions of Thor, Oblix and OctetString that Oracle understands the value of providing a market leading IdM solution in the market today. It is because of this that Gartner has ranked Oracle as a market leader in both User and Access Management,” said Jim Guinn, II, partner and vice president of CPSG.
