7. Key Technical Advantages & Constraints
Oracle EBS
Oracle Fusion Cloud
- Full control over DB, code, customization
- Can modify core code (though unsupported)
- On-premises data residency
- High maintenance, upgrade complexity
- Older tech stack (Forms, Reports)
- Modern UI (Redwood), mobile-ready
- Continuous innovation, automated upgrades
- Better integration standards (REST, OIC)
- Limited deep customization (no DB access)
- Subscription-based, ongoing costs, Internet-dependent
8. Migration Considerations
EBS to Fusion
Not a technical upgrade but a reimplementation
Data Migration
Use Cloud Migration Assistant (CMA), FBDI, or Oracle-provided tools
Customizations strategy
Must be redeveloped using Fusion extensibility tools
Integration strategy
Legacy interfaces must be rebuilt using OIC/REST APIs
