The new offerings, announced Tuesday (April 14), are designed to offer financial institutions and corporate banks AI-infused applications and pre-built artificial intelligence (AI) agents for treasury, trade finance, credit and lending. "Corporate banking runs on precision, resiliency, and trust," said Sovan Shatpathy, senior vice president, product management and development, Oracle Financial Services. "Our AI-powered platform embeds intelligence directly into mission-critical processes, accelerating decisions and strengthening governance so banks can serve clients with greater speed and confidence." The new corporate banking capabilities are powered by Oracle's banking platform, which the company said features agents that can orchestrate "real-time and highly tailored" interactions backed by human expertise. Among the new offerings is a loan data extraction agent, which aims to address the challenge of highly customized and lengthy corporate loan contracts. There's also a loan data validation agent, which can cross-check loan and financial information against source documents and/or internal records, conduct data integrity checks and flag anomalies to be reviewed by bankers. Oracle also recently debuted its Fusion Agentic Applications, designed to work in customer service, supply chain and finance settings, where software agents can perform multi-step tasks with access to live business data. As covered here recently, an article by Futurum framed this as part of a larger shift in enterprise buying, as companies increasingly want AI built into the core platforms they already use, instead of being added on through separate tools. Oracle is launching these agents -- with hundreds more due in the coming months -- amid the continued adoption of agentic AI. The PYMNTS Intelligence report "Agentic AI Breaks Out of the Sandbox" found that leaders in the banking, retail and technology industries are deploying AI agents. Across sectors, upward of 80% of executives are interested in AI agent adoption for a common set of high-leverage needs: customer insight, product life cycle management and strategic analytics. The report also found that corporate leaders think of AI agents as a system that reasons across departments, coordinates workflow and carries out actions. "As agentic AI takes on greater operational authority, executives are balancing efficiency gains against governance risk," PYMNTS wrote in another report earlier this year. "CFOs see upside in allowing AI agents to adjust forecasts and recommend reallocations in near real time, particularly for cash flow optimization and cost containment." However, adoption is still measured, that report continued. Most finance leaders still want to see human checkpoints for things like material accounting entries, capital allocation decisions and regulatory disclosures.

Oracle Launches AI-Powered Fusion Agentic Apps to Transform Enterprise Operations

The new Fusion Agentic Applications move beyond assistance to execution, helping finance and supply chain leaders dramatically improve business outcomes. Oracle announced Fusion Agentic Applications for finance and supply chain operations. The new agentic applications are powered by coordinated teams of specialized AI agents that are outcome-driven, proactive, reasoning-based, and engineered for enterprise execution. Built into Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, Fusion Agentic Applications for finance and supply chain can make and execute decisions within business processes by securely accessing unified enterprise data, workflows, policies, approval hierarchies, permissions, and transactional context.

Oracle Expands Agentic AI Across Enterprise Workflows | PYMNTS.com

Announced Thursday (April 9) at its AI World Tour, the updates aim to move enterprise software beyond passive tools into systems that can reason, decide and act, while addressing growing pressure from investors to demonstrate returns on AI investments. The company said it is extending its Financial Crime and Compliance Management (FCCM) platform by integrating technology from Lucinity, a firm specializing in AI-driven financial crime prevention. FCCM platforms are used by banks and financial institutions to monitor transactions, detect suspicious activity and meet regulatory obligations. Oracle's update embeds agents into its AI Investigator system to streamline case management and investigations. These agents can surface relevant data, automate manual steps and recommend next actions across the lifecycle of a financial crime case. Oracle emphasized a "human-AI-centric" approach, meaning investigators remain in control while AI augments decision-making. The system also uses explainable AI, a method that makes algorithmic decisions transparent and auditable -- a key requirement in regulated industries. In parallel, Oracle introduced new Fusion Agentic Applications spanning customer experience and finance and supply chain functions. Built into Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications and powered by large language models (LLMs) -- AI systems trained on vast datasets to understand and generate language -- these tools are designed to execute business processes autonomously within predefined rules. Use cases include contract compliance monitoring, sales and marketing optimization, cash collection, and supply chain logistics. The applications operate within existing enterprise systems, accessing data, workflows and approval structures to carry out tasks while flagging exceptions that require human intervention. "With agentic applications that can reason, decide and act against defined objectives, finance and supply chain teams can move from passive productivity to systems that proactively carry work forward," Steve Miranda, executive vice president of applications development at Oracle, said in a statement. The rollout builds on Oracle's broader agentic AI strategy. The company recently launched more than 20 agentic applications and enhanced its AI Agent Studio to help enterprises build and deploy AI-driven workflows. These efforts align with Oracle's push to integrate AI directly into its cloud ecosystem. The expansion comes amid financial and market pressures. Oracle has faced a stock decline, job cuts and investor scrutiny over heavy spending on AI infrastructure without clear near-term returns. Against that backdrop, Oracle's latest announcements signal a continued bet that embedding AI agents into core business processes will drive efficiency gains and justify those investments.

Oracle Corporation Introduces Fusion Agentic Applications for HR

Oracle Corporation announced Fusion Agentic Applications for HR. The new agentic applications are powered by coordinated teams of specialized AI agents that are outcome-driven, proactive, reasoning-based, and engineered for enterprise execution. Built into Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, Fusion Agentic Applications for HR can make and execute decisions within business processes by securely accessing unified enterprise data, workflows, policies, approval hierarchies, permissions, and transactional context. Running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, powered by industry-leading LLMs, and extending the world's most complete suite of cloud applications, the new Fusion Agentic Applications move beyond assistance to execution, helping HR leaders and managers dramatically improve business outcomes. By operating inside the existing Oracle Fusion Applications security framework, the new Fusion Agentic Applications can autonomously progress routine work within established guardrails, and surface exceptions, tradeoffs, and decisions where human judgment materially changes the outcome. There are eight new Fusion Agentic Applications available now within Oracle Fusion Cloud Human Capital Management (HCM), including: Career Advancement Command Center: Helps HR leaders promote career mobility, connect employees to open roles, and keep them engaged with ongoing events and communications. This turns ad hoc career development into guided, strategic advancement. Contract Compliance Workspace: Helps HR leaders better automate contract execution, semantically analyze contract agreements, surface proposed next steps in context, and move work forward within defined objectives. This transforms fragmented contract management into consistent, scalable execution. Hiring Workspace for Store Managers: Helps retail store managers reduce administrative work across recruiting processes and expedite hiring workflows. This transforms tedious manual coordination into streamlined, efficient talent acquisition. Manager Concierge Workspace: Helps managers make smarter team decisions, prioritize what needs attention, and take policy-backed, one-click actions with built-in approvals across compensation, performance, talent, absence, and more. This turns disjointed manager tasks into more focused, confident team management. My Help Workspace for Employees: Helps employees resolve issues faster and stay on top of what needs attention with a single place to track requests and follow-ups, view items awaiting action, and access knowledge articles and updates. This replaces ticket-chasing employee support with accelerated, self-service resolution. Team Learning Workspace for Managers: Helps managers upskill their teams, monitor learning needs, identify emerging skill gaps, and prioritize high-value development actions. This shifts reactive learning management to proactive, targeted development. Team Talent Calibration and Review Workspace: Helps managers conduct more consistent and structured talent review assessments, streamline calibration meetings, identify rating inconsistencies, and provide evidence-based recommendations. This moves subjective calibration toward more data-informed, consistent talent discussions. Workforce Operations Command Center: Helps managers and frontline leaders execute workforce scheduling, time, and absence operations faster, reduce manual data gathering, and accelerate scheduling approvals. This elevates workforce operations from reactive management to proactive, intelligent processes.
