One of the more interesting products I saw at Oracle Open World was Financial Close Management (FCM), which will be generally available (GA) sometime in 2010. (One member of the audience at a session I attended insisted on calling it “vaporware.” Strictly speaking that is true, but the product will be the result of assembling already mature software, so we would be very surprised if it’s not available next year.) I don’t make a habit of talking about applications that are not GA, but this one is important enough to highlight because of its potential positive impact on how public companies manage their close-to-report cycle.
