Oracle Redwood Explained: What It Means for the Future of Fusion Cloud
Oracle Fusion Cloud is entering a new era, and at the center of that transformation is Redwood: Oracle’s next-generation user interface designed to modernize how users interact with Fusion applications.
Redwood represents the future of the Oracle Fusion Cloud user experience. It is the design framework Oracle is investing in long term, and it sets the foundation for how new capabilities, especially around usability, mobility, and AI, will continue to evolve. For customers, this creates an opportunity to start planning a thoughtful, phased roadmap that aligns modernization with business priorities.
Redwood: Building Your Roadmap to the Future of Oracle Fusion Cloud
Oracle has shared its direction for moving away from classic UI pages over time, beginning with Supply Chain Management in the 27A release timeframe (expected between February and April 2027), with Financials to follow. As part of this evolution, Redwood pages will become the primary experience across Oracle Fusion Cloud. Organizations that plan ahead can use this transition as a chance to refresh user experiences, revisit personalizations, and take advantage of new tools designed specifically for Redwood.
One of the biggest benefits of Redwood is its mobile-supported, responsive design. These modern screens address many of the limitations users experienced with classic pages and unlock new functionality that is only available within the Redwood framework, including embedded intelligence and AI-driven capabilities. As Oracle continues to innovate, new features and enhancements will be delivered through Redwood first.
While all customers are moving toward the same future experience, the path to get there can look different depending on where you are today:
- New implementations or projects going live after March 2026 are well positioned to plan for a fully Redwood-enabled experience from the start
- Existing customers or in-flight projects have flexibility to enable Redwood pages incrementally, allowing teams to adopt changes at a manageable pace while building toward full adoption by 27A
No matter your current state, Oracle encourages customers to begin exploring Redwood early so they can move forward on their own timeline. With the right planning and roadmap in place, the transition to Redwood becomes less about change management and more about preparing for the future of Oracle Fusion Cloud.
How Oracle Is Rolling Out Redwood
Redwood adoption follows a phased approach. Oracle typically introduces new pages in quarterly updates, offering customers the ability to opt in early. Initially, Redwood pages may appear alongside classic pages, clearly labeled as “new.” Over time, Redwood becomes the default experience, and classic pages are eventually retired.
This incremental rollout gives organizations time to test, train users, and adjust configurations. For pages that are already Redwood-ready, customers can begin transitioning immediately.
Tools to Support the Transition
Oracle is not leaving customers to navigate this change alone. Several tools are available to help manage the shift:
- Oracle Success Navigator: A continuously updated platform that provides personalized recommendations based on your current Oracle footprint. It acts as a roadmap, helping teams prioritize features, preview new functionality, and align updates with business goals.
- Feature Adoption Center: A centralized hub within Success Navigator that highlights Redwood and AI-related enhancements by release.
- Personalization Tools: Use the SCM Redwood Personalization Helper to identify and reapply classic page personalizations while taking advantage of the latest Redwood capabilities such as Visual Builder and Guided Journeys.
- Cloud Application Readiness Reports: Allow customers to filter upcoming features by module and release, with enablement steps and preview images included.
Together, these tools help reduce risk and eliminate the “surprise factor” that often comes with major platform changes.
What Makes Redwood Different
Redwood is more than a visual refresh, it’s a complete redesign of the Oracle Fusion Cloud user experience. It delivers:
- Consumer-grade usability with cleaner layouts and intuitive navigation
- Responsive design that adapts seamlessly across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices
- Natural language search and embedded intelligence
- Low-code extensibility through Visual Builder for faster personalization
- Consistent design standards across modules to reduce training time and user frustration
Redwood replaces disruptive pop-ups and dense toolbars with slide-out panels and contextual actions. Core tasks are placed directly on the main screen, reducing clicks and eliminating the need to hunt through menus.
Guided Journeys and Embedded Intelligence
One of Redwood’s most powerful capabilities is guided journeys. These allow organizations to embed step-by-step instructions, links, videos, reports, dashboards, and even AI agents directly into application screens. Users can complete tasks with real-time guidance, without leaving the page.
Guided journeys help:
- Reduce errors for new or infrequent users
- Standardize processes
- Improve adoption and confidence across teams
Redwood and Oracle AI: Built-In Business Value
Redwood also serves as the foundation for Oracle’s expanding AI capabilities. Oracle has delivered over one hundred AI features across Fusion applications, spanning:
- Predictive AI (forecasting, anomaly detection)
- Generative AI (summaries, narratives, content creation)
- Agentic AI (intelligent agents that take action on your behalf)
These AI tools are embedded directly into Fusion applications and powered by your own data, without requiring a separate AI platform. Oracle supports multiple best-in-class AI models, while keeping customer data secure within its environment.
AI agents can guide users through complex processes, analyze shortages, recommend actions, and even execute transactions in a single workflow. Terillium has also developed custom AI agents that enhance visibility and streamline tasks like sales order and pick wave analysis.
Preparing for What’s Next
RA successful Redwood transition starts with understanding what applies to your environment. Organizations should:
- Use Oracle Success Navigator to assess relevant Redwood features
- Scope and prioritize high-impact pages
- Preview features using startup configurations
- Implement incrementally and monitor adoption
As a next step, customers should request provisioning of their Oracle Success Navigator instance as early as possible. Success Navigator plays a critical role in understanding which Redwood features apply to your environment, previewing upcoming functionality, and building a clear, data-driven roadmap for adoption. Because provisioning can take several days, submitting this request early helps ensure you’re not delayed when you’re ready to begin planning or enabling Redwood and AI capabilities.
Redwood is the future of Oracle Fusion Cloud. By starting now, organizations can move on their own timeline, rather than being forced into change at the last minute.
