How to add Web 2.0 features in Oracle E-Business Suite with Seesmic

As you know, Oracle Workflow prebuilt into Oracle E-Business Suite delivers a complete workflow management system that supports business process based integration. Its technology enables modeling and automation of business processes, routing information of any type according to user-defined business rules.

Today, acting as a system integration hub, Oracle Workflow can apply business rules to control objects and route them between applications and systems. It extends the reach of business process automation throughout an enterprise and beyond, to include any email user, web user, or system, enabling people to receive, analyze, and respond to notifications needing their attention. Users can respond to a notification via any standard email system or standard Web browser.

Everybody knows that notification routing rules save workflow participants time and provide the flexibility to assign responsibility for notifications in a variety of circumstances. Frontline support personnel can be automatically assigned to review certain requests to make sure that all information needed is present before making a decision.

The current limitation of this system is that you only received (rich) text messages. Now, imagine that the Oracle E-Business suite notification system provides a video twitter capability for a perpetual interaction around both professional and user generated content… For example, Oracle E-Business suite users could attach videos on their operational dashboards (from Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition platform) to illustrate some reports or graphs with more details and impacts, to their expense reports or requests for vacation (to show how you’re so tired…), in the knowledege database for the Support team, etc.

We think that Seesmic could the perfect solution to do that… If you have more ideas to use Seesmic with Oracle E-Business Suite, please share with us by comments.

So, the next time you will use Oracle E-Business Suite, don’t forget your make-up!
