OREANDA-NEWS. October 29, 2015. To help organizations transition to the cloud and manage a mix of cloud and on-premises applications, Oracle announced enhancements to Oracle Cloud Platform for Integration.  A comprehensive suite of integration services, Oracle Cloud Platform for Integration enables organizations to accelerate innovation, increase productivity and lower costs by simplifying application and service integration across cloud and on-premises applications, mobile, and IoT devices.

The Oracle Cloud Platform for Integration portfolio includes Oracle IoT Cloud, Oracle Integration Cloud, Oracle SOA Cloud, and Oracle API Manager Cloud – a range of services developed for specific users’ integration needs.  With its simple, intuitive Web-based, point-and-click user interface, the Oracle Integration Cloud is ideal for “citizen integrators,” Applications IT and LOBs integrating SaaS applications. On the other end of the spectrum, Oracle SOA Cloud was designed for integration developers and provides a full integration platform, including service virtualization, process orchestration, B2B integration, Managed File Transfer and business activity monitoring dashboards, with fine-grained control and the ability to support various use cases.  Oracle’s integration cloud services are fully portable enabling users to migrate their integration workloads between on premises and the cloud to support changing business requirements.   

“The IT architectures that organizations have relied on for decades do not provide the business agility demanded by the digital present,” said Amit Zavery, senior vice president of Cloud Platform and Integration products at Oracle. “To stay competitive, organizations need to rethink API management and service integration across cloud, mobile and IoT initiatives. With Oracle Cloud Platform’s comprehensive suite of integration services, we are able to help our customers increase business agility by improving productivity, lowering costs, and ultimately accelerating innovation.”
