Oracle applications are now available in the cloud from Perth-based Fusion Applications. The service is hosted within Australia.

One of the common objections to cloud deployments is a need to keep data onshore. That need can rest on regulatory requirements or internal policies.

Perth-based Fusion Applications now offers Oracle applications in the cloud, running on ZettaGrid's infrastructure. The lineup includes Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle Business Intelligence Applications, and Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition.

"Organisations today spend a significant amount of time maintaining existing infrastructure and environments," said Craig Wood, co-founder and director of Fusion Applications. "The cloud model helps alleviate the support burden on IT departments and small to medium sized businesses. Priced per user, per month, at no upfront costs, the software subscription model appeals to organisations of all sizes who seek to replace capex with opex, easily scale up and leverage Oracle application consultants without having to maintain skills in-house."

The company is a Gold member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork.
