Often in our line of work, one set of technologies becomes the foundation for another and lock-step with one another.
-Oracle PL/SQL and Database Development became the foundation for Oracle EBusiness Suite (most of the modules anyway) in a client-server architecture.
-Oracle Fusion Middleware components - SOA Suite, BPM Suite, BI, WebLogic are becoming the Foundation for Fusion Applications.
At the recent Collaborate Conference in April - I had a session on SOA Maturity.
Very interestingly enough, it became very natural to look at SOA Maturity as a building block for getting ready with Fusion Applications. I ended up combining my session content with content from Oracle's Usability Lab and the session was received very well. I got some of the highest ratings I have in recent conferences.
In addition, working with Oracle's Usability Group at OAUG Connection Point Dubai as an Oracle Fusion UX Advocate helped a lot.
The Dallas Oracle User Group has shown interest and while dates are being finalized I plan to deliver a similar presentation in September. I may be presenting similar content in Houston, San Antonio and Austin - near and around Texas.
It was somewhat of a surprise that the Usability Lab Site and related Wiki are down. Hopefully they are being merged and will show up very very soon. Hopefully its just web-site re-engineering and not reading anything more into it at this point. Maybe its a game of "Where's Waldo" on OTN or some other Oracle web-site. Lightly kidding there (kind of halfway...not really!).
I depend on this to get smarter and keep the user community in touch with latest content and information that is shared by Oracle - people ask questions about Product Groups/Families and such. In addition the work done by the Usability team is truly cutting edge (heat charts and retinal (eye) following tracking devices) is truly inspiring.
Here's to bringing it back it quickly, ORCL!!

Hi Ron,
I wanted to thank you for taking the time to post your comments about the usability content. Your perspective about the value of the content was very helpful.
I am happy to report that the site is now back up at: http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/ux/applications/index.html
