After years of limping along on applications that never fully supported their business processes, mid- size organizations around the world are looking for complete solutions. All they need are applications that address all of their industry's business requirements, can quickly adapt to meet their needs. are almost effortless to install and use, come with comprehensive support from the vendor, and cost a fraction of what large enterprises pay for similar functions and service. That's not too much to ask, is it?

As this short list of requirements aptly illustrates. one of the hardest things an application vendor can do is to meet the needs of such organizations. As such. Andrews Consulting Group takes notice whenever a vendor has the courage to try and deliver complete, industry-focused software suites to growing companies. That is what Oracle recently did when it announced its Accelerate initiative.

This paper examines Oracle Accelerate to determine whether it has what it takes to deliver genuine value to midsize organizations. As the paper makes clear, we find Accelerate to be a sohd effort on Oracle's part that is both elegant and practical in its design. This makes it a promising strategy that deserves a closer look.
