Chris Leone, group vice president of Oracle Fusion Application Development, said in a statement. “”All Fusion Apps are GA but under controlled availability. - We review the project to make sure that the fit is right and the customer will be successful. It is a standard Oracle program.”

About 70 Fusion Applications-related sessions were listed on the OpenWorld schedule as of Wednesday. They are largely focused on specific information about how to implement Fusion Applications, how to make them work with existing software, and real-world stories from early customers, versus the more general previews and planning guidance Oracle has delivered in the past.

Speculation about the long-delayed software’s release date has gone on for years. Fusion Applications are the result of a towering engineering effort that has combined the best attributes of Oracle’s various business software lines into a next-generation suite, replete with “pervasive” BI (business intelligence), according to the company.

Oracle quietly posted a price list for Fusion Applications to its website recently. However, the list did not address pricing for versions of Fusion sold as SaaS (software as a service), which is also expected to be a deployment option.
