The Oracle Applications Users Group (OAUG) announced that most Oracle-based enterprises intend to upgrade to Oracle's Fusion middleware infrastructure within the next two years, according to a survey carried out in partnership with Noetix. The figures suggest that over 40% of Oracle-based enterprises will increase spending in 2008 to bring in new middleware solutions.

However the survey also noted that one in four enterprises are uncertain of the value of middleware to their operations.
