'''Oracle Fusion Middleware''' (OFM, also known as '''Fusion Middleware''') consists of several [[software]] products from [[Oracle Corporation]]. OFM spans multiple services, including [[Java EE]] and [[Software development|developer]] tools, [[Systems integration|integration]] services, [[business intelligence]], [[collaborative software|collaboration]], and [[content management]]. OFM depends on [[open standard]]s such as [[BPEL]], [[SOAP]], [[XML]] and [[Java Message Service|JMS]].<ref>

Oracle Fusion Middleware provides software for the development, deployment, and management of [[service-oriented architecture]] (SOA). It includes what Oracle calls "hot-pluggable" architecture,<ref>{{cite web

Line 40 ⟶ 39:
Many of the products included under the OFM banner do not themselves qualify as [[middleware]] products: "Fusion Middleware" essentially represents a re-branding of many of Oracle products outside of Oracle's core [[database]] and applications-software offerings—compare Oracle Fusion.
According to Oracle, by 2006 over 30,000 organizations had become Fusion Middleware customers, including over 35 of the world's 50 largest companies and more than 750 of the ''[[BusinessWeek]]'' Global 1000, with OFM also supported by 7,500 [[business partner|partner]]s.<ref>[http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/04-25-2006/0004346680 "Oracle Marks Key Milestone With Siebel Certification Roadmap for Oracle(R) Fusion Middleware", prnewswire, 2006]</ref>
In order to provide standards-based software to assist with [[business process automation]], [[HP]] has incorporated OFM into its "[[service-oriented architecture]] (SOA) portfolio".<ref>{{cite web

In 2007 [[Gartner| Gartner, Inc.]] wrote that "OFM has reached a degree of completeness that puts it on par with, and in some cases ahead of, competing software stacks", and reported revenue from the suite of over US$1 billion during FY06, estimating the revenue from the genuinely middleware aspects at US$740 million.<ref>
