'''Oracle Fusion Applications''' ('''OFA''') are a suite of applications built on [[Oracle Cloud]] that include cloud-based applications for [[enterprise resource planning]] (ERP), [[enterprise performance management]] (EPM), [[Supply chain management|supply chain management and manufacturing]] (SCM), [[Human Capital Management|human capital management]] (HCM), and [[customer experience]] (CX).<ref>{{Cite web|last=Moorhead|first=Patrick|title=Oracle Has Quietly Become An Essential Cloud Applications Company|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/patrickmoorhead/2020/09/29/oracle-has-quietly-become-an-essential-cloud-applications-company/|access-date=2021-11-16|website=Forbes|language=en}}</ref>
Oracle Fusion Applications were launched in September 2010 and released one year later at OpenWorld 2011.<ref name="ORCL-F-01" /><ref name="Kanaracus" /> The name refers to the fact that each application runs in the cloud and shares one underlying platform, which means that data can be shared between them.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Robb |first=Drew |date=2011-10-10 |title=An In-Depth Look at Oracle Fusion Applications |url=https://www.enterpriseappstoday.com/business-intelligence/oracle-fusion-applications-in-depth-1.html |access-date=2022-04-15 |website=Enterprise Apps Today |language=en-US}}</ref> This is different from many cloud applications that exist in isolation and are not interoperable.<ref name=":0" /> Oracle also developed “coexistence” processes that extend across all [[Oracle Applications]] so that users could adopt what they needed from Fusion while still using existing on-premise applications.<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Kanaracus |first=Chris |date=2012-04-24 |title=Most Initial Oracle Fusion Applications Customers Going With Cloud Deployment |url=https://www.pcworld.com/article/470208/most_initial_oracle_fusion_applications_customers_going_with_cloud_deployment.html |access-date=2022-04-15 |website=PCWorld |language=en-US}}</ref>
Oracle Fusion Applications were originally envisioned and pitched as an [[enterprise resource planning]] suite—a combination of features and functionalities taken from the [[Oracle E-Business Suite]], JD Edwards, [[PeopleSoft]], and Siebel product lines.<ref name=ORCL-F-01/><ref name=Kanaracus/> The suite was built on top of the [[Oracle Fusion Middleware]] technology stack; both layers implement the [[Oracle Fusion Architecture]], which leverages the capabilities of [[service-oriented architecture]].<ref name=ORCL-F-00/><ref name=ORCL-F-02/> Companies can deploy Fusion cloud applications in a private cloud, public cloud, hybrid cloud, or a private cloud built and managed by Oracle Cloud Services.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Marko |first=Kurt |date=2022-01-31 |title=Dig into Oracle Cloud's Always Free offerings |url=https://www.techtarget.com/searchcloudcomputing/tip/Dig-into-Oracle-Clouds-Always-Free-offerings |access-date=2022-04-15 |website=TechTarget |language=en}}</ref>
In September 2021, Oracle launched Fusion Marketing as part of [[Oracle Advertising and Customer Experience (CX)|Oracle Advertising and CX]]. The system uses artificial intelligence to automate digital marketing campaigns and identify qualified leads.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Nellis|first=Stephen|date=2021-09-20|title=Oracle uses AI to automate parts of digital marketing|language=en|work=Reuters|url=https://www.reuters.com/technology/oracle-uses-ai-automate-parts-digital-marketing-2021-09-20/|access-date=2021-11-16}}</ref>
