Philosophy behind Oracle
E-Business Suite
• Start with a common data
model that produces a single
definition of key business
entities (customers,
suppliers, products, etc)
• Build a robust suite of
applications designed to
work together
• Support modular deployment
of tailorable business flows
• Promote low-cost integration
with service oriented,
standards-based architecture

The Network
• Although the network is not a tier of R12 E-Business Suite’s
three-tier architecture, it is a critical component that makes it
all work.
• R12 EBS allows access through multiple channels including
internal networks (LANs/WANs) and external networks
(Internet/VPNs).
• All of the choices in the network will ultimately affect your
performance, for good or bad.
