We believe that next decade of ERP, CRM, MRP and accounting applications will be the time of harmony and coexistence.  As the signs we see how Microsoft CRM coexists with former antipode IBM Lotus Notes Domino and you use Domino instead of Microsoft Exchange Server.  The same should be said about Linked Server from MS SQL Server to Oracle and several options to build analogous bridge from Oracle to MS SQL Server.  Plus if you think about the purpose and mission of XML – it is peacemaker and it resolves former computer platforms incompatibilities, when Unix/Linux could not be integrated with Microsoft Windows and Apple OS.  In this small article we’ll try to give you very general overview of Oracle financials customization & integration.

• Solid Rock DB.  As the history of DB platforms proves – Oracle is the leader on the databases market.  Just this fact opens door to Oracle Financials to multinational corporations and it competes successfully with SAP and PeopleSoft (probably PeopleSoft is friendly ERP, due to resent acquisition)
• Java Orientation.  If you are deploying Oracle Financials – you should have Java expertise to customize and integrate (especially web applications) this ERP. 
• Rich Set of Modules.  Activity Based Management, Financial Analyzer, Lease Management, Advanced Collections, Financial Consolidation Hub, Payablesm Assets, General Ledger, Property Manager, Balanced Scorecard, iAssets, Receivables, Bill Presentment, Architecture, Internal Controls Manager, Sales Analyzer, Cash Management, Internet Expenses, Treasury, Daily Business Intelligence for Financials, iPayment, Enterprise Planning and Budgeting, iReceivables.  This collection will allow you to deploy Oracle Financials when rich ERP functionality is required.
• Oracle E-Business Suite.  Oracle Marketing, Oracle Supply Chain Management would be your choice to further automate your operations.
