– No requirement for runtime mid-tier processes to be started.
• First class support for configuration and metadata customization
• Radically simple and robust upgrade from 11g / Baseline Validation Tool
• Multi-Tenant - 12c will always be Multi-Service Instance (MSI) enabled
– Initially a single Service Instance deployed
– Effectively ‘Plugable BI’
• Self Service enablement
• Removal of all significant 11g ‘Hot Spots’
