Are you saying Oracle won't answer this?

If so, why bother with them at all? This is a pre-sales question they must answer or there would be no sale.

Oracle Apps vs Oracle BI Apps vs Oracle Fusion Apps

1. Oracle Applications

Typically Oracle Applications refers to E-Business Suite, which is the suite of enterprise applications that are available for a long time even before Oracle acquired PeopleSoft, Siebel, J.D. Edwards, etc. other apps.

It is now referring to all business application products that Oracle provides.


2. Oracle BI Applications

This is the business intelligence applications from Oracle. You can look at the page here:
http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/dylans-obi-blog/what-is-oracle-bi-applications-part-1-20832

They are not transnational apps. They are analytics apps.

BI Apps can run against Fusion Apps, E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, Siebel, or JD Edwards Enterprise One.


3. Fusion Applications

It supposes to be the next generation of business application suite from Oracle. It is now one of the multiple product lines. It uses relatively newer technologies available since several years ago.

Other suites, such as E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, JDE, Hyperion are placed under Apps unlimited support mode while Fusion Applications were under development.
