Enterprise Systems : "Last week, Oracle Corp. unveiled its Business Intelligence Suite, a revamped, enlarged, and Project Fusion-ized version of the erstwhile Oracle Business Intelligence offering. Oracle�s new BI suite is an ambitious release that�s garbed in an ambitious new vision�one that places Oracle-the-BI-power prominently in the forefront, no longer the collegial ecosystem partner of BI pure plays.
In this respect, Oracle�s BI vision also prescribes a 10g database back end, Oracle eBusiness Suite in the application tier, and�of course�Oracle Project Fusion middleware to tie everything together.
This type of sweeping development isn�t without historical precedent. In the 19th Century, the military doctrine of Vernichtungsgedanken helped propel Prussia and an increasingly tight-knit confederation of German states to European martial supremacy. Many historians believe Vernichtungsgedanken had an epiphenomenal effect, too: it was the impetus for the Byzantine system of alliances that plunged first the European main, and then the world, into a conflict called The First World War."
