The term Oracle Applications is the applications software or business software of Oracle Corp.. It refers to the non-database (non-technology) parts of Oracle Corporation's software portfolio.
Oracle Corporation sells many functional modules built around the Oracle RDBMS system as back-end, notably the Oracle Financials, Oracle HRMS, Oracle Projects, Oracle CRM, Oracle PO etc. (Oracle Corporation also offers many additional application-oriented products, including Oracle Office, Oracle Media Server, and (grouped with databases) Oracle ConText.)
Oracle Corporation initially launched its application suite with financials software in the late 1980s. The offering now extends to supply-chain management, Human Resource Management warehouse-management, customer relationship 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 Release 12 (R12) in February 2007.
