The Articles
Browse by layerSeries announcedQ1 2026
Foundation articles (1–2)Q2 2026
Module articles (3–8)Q2–Q3 2026
Vertical articles (9–18)Q3 2026
Governance articles (19–20)Q4 2026
Two foundation articles anchor the entire series. Article 1 introduces AI concepts for a non-technical audience — necessary before any implementation or adoption conversation. Article 2 maps what is live in your Fusion tenant today. Every other article references both.
Deep-dive by functional area across the full Oracle Fusion product footprint. Each article covers feature inventory, configuration decisions, output quality benchmarks, and where the AI falls short. Written for consultants, implementers, and IT architects.
Industry-led, problem-first. Each article maps Fusion AI to specific business problems in your sector. Use the Industry Use Case Finder below to identify the most relevant scenarios before diving in. Ten industries covered — consistent with the GL Architecture Series vertical coverage.
Published last so readers arrive with module and vertical context already in place. Covers the configuration decisions, governance frameworks, and adoption challenges that apply across all modules and industries.
