While Oracle Fusion may be slow in coming, Oracle, more than any other company, is learning how to make diverse technology components fuse together.<\/p>\n<p>At Oracle Open World last month Oracle presented a consolidated BPM strategy. They&#8217;ve integrated capabilities from BEA&#8217;s AquaLogic BPM by leveraging their SOA Suite and BPEL Process Manager.<\/p>\n<p>But while Oracle is making product integrations look easy, other companies are struggling in pulling together their acquisitions.

Interoperability between the two technologies is strained at best.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" title=\"Bruce Silver\"
