GlaxoSmithKline hits out at Oracle over open UIs and Fusion Apps

03.10.2012

"We have worked with Oracle on the beta for open UI, but I need it to be delivered."

Other items on the 'wish-list' include addressing how a multi-channel approach, such as including social networking, can be incorporated into CRM- something he said Oracle needsto 'figure out how that works' - and also the need to simplify and improve performance on OBIEE.

He said: "All of you that work with OBIEE know that the data scheme isn't the simplest thing in the world."

Finally, Felix hit out at Fusion apps, Oracle's next generation enterprise applications, that have been built from the ground up and are 100% based on open standards.

"I'm not hearing much about fusion so far and I do ask Oracle to figure out what is 'Fusion versus Siebel'? We need to have a way of joining those strategies together," he said.
