The term Oracle Applications refers to the non-database (non-technology) parts of Oracle Corporation's software portfolio — mainly web-based accounting software. Oracle Corporation sells many applications built around the Oracle RDBMS system, notably the Oracle Financials applications. (Oracle Corporation also offers many additional application-oriented products, including Oracle Office, Oracle Media Server, and (grouped with databases) Oracle ConText.)
Oracle Corporation launched its applications with financial software in the late 1980s. The offering now extends into supply-chain manmagement, warehouse-management, call-center services, product lifecycle management, and many other areas. Both in-house expansion and the acquisition of other companies have vastly expanded Oracle Corporation's application-software repertoire.
Oracle Corporation released Oracle Applications 11 in May 1998; the line has reached a current version of 11.5.10, with release 12i expected early 2007.
