There is a difference between using an SOA fabric to integrate lots of products and having an SOA fabric that is a lot of products. I guess what Jason was saying is that you dont want one of your integration challenges to be gluing together 6 different products to make the integration platform. Otherwise it becomes circular. You have to have an ESB to link your ESBs before you can get your products to talk together.
By the way - I have no knowledge of Oracle's Fusion product so this isn't aimed at that. However, I do agree with the general sentiment that you need a cleanly architected integration layer to deal with the Frankenstein of applications.

Hi All,I went to the NetWeaver rollout, and SAP had 10,000 services for 1000 applications in 30 industrial groups. I think this is what happens when legacy architectures go SOA. The Appforce service architecture from salesforce.com has about a dozen services, and these make up a complete platform. The problem is that somebody has to BUILD something usefull with the services. Take a look at out DreamTeam application, which uses about half a dozen appforce calls...Best,Bill Appleton

Frankenstein approach to SOA. Check the article here

I am surprized to see no reaction to this statement. I believe every
architect busy integrating packages or best-of-breed products is taking
the Frankenstein approach.
I think IBM and BEA have also a long track of such integrations.
I am also convinced that SOA role is to make the Frankenstein Approach
possible or at least less expensive at the end of the day.
What do you think?
