Accenture Foundation Platform for Oracle (AFPO)
- by Lionel Dubreuil
The Accenture Foundation Platform for Oracle (AFPO) is a pre-built, 
tested reference application, common services framework and development 
accelerator for Oracle’s Fusion Middleware 11g product suite that can help to reduce development time and cost by up to 30 percent.  
  AFPO is a unique accelerator that includes documentation, day one 
      deliverables and quick start virtual machine images, along with access 
      to a skilled team of resources, to reduce risk and cost while improving 
      project quality. It can be delivered all at once or in stages, on-site, 
      hosted, or as a cloud solution.  
  Accenture recently released AFPO v5 for use with their clients. Accenture added significant updates in v5 including 
Day 1 images & documentation for Webcenter & ADF Mobile that are
 integrated with 30 other Oracle Middleware products that signifigantly 
reduced the services aspect to standing these products up.  
  AFPO v5 also features rapid 
      configuration and implementation capabilities for SOA/BPM integrated 
      with Oracle WebCenter Portal, Oracle WebCenter Content, Oracle Business 
      Intelligence, Oracle Identity Management and Oracle ADF Mobile. 
     
  AFPO v5 also delivers a starter kit for Oracle SOA Suite which 
      builds upon the integration methodology, leading practices and extended 
      tooling contained within the Oracle Foundation Pack. The combination of 
      the AFPO starter kit and Foundation Pack jump-start and streamline 
      Oracle SOA Suite implementation initiatives, helping to reduce the risk 
      of deploying new technologies and making architectural decisions, so 
      clients can ultimately reduce cost, risk and the time needed for an 
      implementation.
