Oracle announced Fusion Agentic Applications at Oracle AI World in London on March 24, shipping 22 enterprise applications powered by coordinated teams of specialized AI agents directly into Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications. The company is explicitly positioning these as a replacement for the copilot model, declaring that agents should reason, decide, and act autonomously within business processes rather than waiting for human prompts.

“With Fusion Agentic Applications, we are moving enterprise software beyond passive systems of record and providing our customers with applications that can reason, decide, and act in pursuit of defined business objectives,” said Steve Miranda, Oracle’s EVP of Applications Development.

What the 22 Applications Do

The suite spans finance, HR, supply chain, and customer experience. Each application runs as a team of agents with specific roles, expertise, and decision authority. According to CX Today, the applications pursue defined business objectives, progress work autonomously, evaluate tradeoffs, and surface exceptions only where human judgment materially changes the outcome.

Oracle highlighted several specific use cases in the announcement:

  • Workforce operations: Reducing manual data gathering, accelerating scheduling approvals, and cutting payroll errors.
  • Sourcing workflows: Targeting product cost reduction, shorter cycle times, and compliance risk management.
  • Revenue operations: A cross-sell workspace that identifies expansion opportunities and a collections workspace targeting faster cash collection and lower days sales outstanding.

The applications are native to the transactional system, meaning they have secure access to enterprise data, workflows, policies, approval hierarchies, permissions, and transactional context. Oracle differentiates this from bolt-on AI copilots by emphasizing that the agents execute within the existing Fusion Applications security framework with full governance and auditability.

The Builder Platform

Alongside the 22 pre-built applications, Oracle launched Oracle AI Agent Studio with an Agentic Applications Builder. CX Today reports the builder lets organizations create, connect, and run custom agentic applications without traditional development, using reusable Oracle, partner, and external agents as building blocks. Built-in observability, ROI measurement, and safety mechanisms are included.

Analyst Reaction

Mark Smith, Chief AI and Software Analyst at ISG, told CX Today: “As organizations look to scale automation across their business, having a platform that can coordinate agents across functions while keeping security and approvals inside the application suite will be an important differentiator.”

Michael Fauscette, CEO and Chief Analyst at Arion Research, added: “Oracle’s approach with Fusion Agentic Applications is notable because the agents operate inside the application suite itself, with native access to data, policies, approval hierarchies, and the governance framework that enterprises require.”

Why It Matters

Oracle’s announcement lands in the middle of a brutal repricing in B2B software. The iShares Expanded Tech-Software ETF is down 21% year-to-date as investors punish companies built on per-seat licensing models. Oracle is making a bet that the companies that survive the agentic shift will be the ones that embed agents directly into their transactional systems rather than layering them on top. With 22 applications shipping at once across the entire ERP stack, this is the largest single agentic product launch from a legacy enterprise vendor to date.
