More Oracle Acronymns including OFRA (Not Oprah)

October 14th, 2009 by Robert McMillen • No Comments »

It’s time to learn some new acronyms so put your thinking caps on!

Today’s first acronymn is OFRA or Oracle Fusion Reference Architecture. If you are familiar with the terms “Oracle Fusion” you will recognize that OFRA is a term that will have a growing impact in the coming years.

OFRA provides Oracle’s view on consistent architectural practices that they will be using for the Fusion applications. OFRA is part of ITSO (IT Strategies from Oracle) and is associated with Enterprise Technology Strategies (ETS) and Meta-Models (sorry…no acronym…).

Confused yet? No problem, just realize that Oracle is trying to do most of the heavy lifting and provide your organization with a complete software engineering model which you can use.

OFRA classifies all of the core elements for building and managing effective business software. Designed to be software-agnostic it can be of tremendous value in helping organizations improve their IT quality.

Next steps are to get your Enterprise Architects reading up on OFRA so your organization can leverage this great architectural information.
