  CRM	Fusion CRM goes beyond Oracle's existing Siebel CRM offering in that it is geared more heavily towards the sales end of the organisation. The sales component of traditional CRM is focused on automating the sales process and transaction processing, whereas Fusion CRM delivers real Sales Performance Management. Fusion CRM aims to close the gap between "Actual Performance" vs "The Plan", and a big component of this is resolved with integrated territory management and advanced prospecting tools. Also with Fusion CRM, sales reps are able to take charge of their own campaign management. Fusion CRM is a modular suite of CRM components that can either plug into your existing CRM applications portfolio, or can be utilised as a complete sales solution.	Fusion CRM - Solution Brief

  Governance, Risk & Compliance	Compiling a holistic view of all GRC activities across the Enterprise involves the collation of both qualitative and quantitative data covering multiple business divisions and geographical regions. Due to the lack of centralised knowledge and the significant amount of manual business processes, there is a high risk that someone will inadvertantly fail to identify when the business is about to expose itself to regulatory risk. The cost of compliance failure can be enormous, where the fines and punishments in place have the potential to not only negatively affect shareholders, but can also result in imprisonment for directors and key executives. Corporate Governance not only incorporates financial reporting compliance and regulations, but also covers the activities of almost every department in your corporation, such as IT or the Sustainability department, corporate policy management, and HR. Regulations can even affect the way your corporation manages its network of suppliers. Oracle's Governance Risk and Compliance component of the Fusion Applications Suite is a comprehensive offering of risk management, compliance management, and controls management. The Governance Risk and Compliance Suite of modules brings all activities, documentation, and controls management together with GRC Manager, and presents stakeholders with relevant information tailored to their roles, through interactive dashboards. Hundreds of predefined reports and metrics help managers quickly see the overall status of assessments, testing, remediation, and certification activities.
