Why is the Oracle Specialization Program important for Your Fusion Middleware Implementation?

November 12, 2013 Leave a comment

Why is Specialization important for Oracle customers?
Specialized partners are certified by Oracle with proven references and skills. In each Oracle Fusion Middleware product the partner who specialized had to proof successful implementations and certified consultants to achieve the Specialization status. By working with Specialized partners, your middleware project will be more successful. In EMEA we have more than 3425 partners Specialized in Oracle Fusion Middleware.

How to find the right Specialized partner?
At Oracle.com/Specialized you and Oracle customers can search for Specialized partners by:

  • OFM Product
  • Country of Partner

Quote from IPT
TSC_New” SOA Specialization is a great branding for IPT. We are the SOA Specialists in the Swiss market, as we focus all our services around SOA. With 65 Swiss consultants focused on SOA Security & SOA Testing & Business Process Management – Business Process Management & BSM – Business Service Modeling the partnership with Oracle as the technology leader in SOA is key, therefore it was important to us to become the first SOA Specialized company in Switzerland. As a result IPT is mentioned by Gartner as one of eight European SOA Consulting Firms and included in „Guide to SOA Consulting and System Integration Service Providers“ Thomas Schaller, Partner IPT.

Do you want to become a Specialized partner? Make sure you join the SOA & Business Process Management Community.

November 5, 2013 Leave a comment

To share the latest information with the community we use the SOA Community Workspace (SOA Community membership required). At the workspace you can find training material, product presentations in ppt format, product roadmaps, sales kits, market kits, training calendar and many additional information. Please use this content in the spirit of our partnership, and do not share external confidential material (be aware of the OTN NDA).

The workspace is organized by product categories in folders e.g. SOA or Business Process Management or Applications & Fusion Middleware. You can also use tags to navigate within the workspace.

For large downloads we do recommend to map the workspace as a network drive or to use the ftp functions.

Please be very careful when you use the workspace, as we granted everybody full access including to add and delete documents. Please do NOT delete any content.

What is new in SOA Suite 12c? At OOW the product management team demonstrated some of the key features of the upcoming version. The important SOA topics are mobile integration and cloud integration – make sure you re-use your existing SOA platform!

Bruce Tierney showcased the Agilent mobile integration and you try the new Mobile Order Management for EBS GSE Demo using middleware technology. On cloud integration the product management team presented several OOW sessions and published two whitepapers. As SOA becomes mature the awareness for SOA Governance continues to raise, Introducing Oracle Enterprise Repository Express Workflows and watch Luis Weir: Challenges to Implementing SOA Governance. Thanks to Ronald for the SOA Made Simple | Introduction to SOA series, the next article in the Industrial SOA series is SOA and User Interfaces (UI).

If you can not make it – we offer plenty of on-demand content Advanced BPM Scenarios & BPM Architecture Topics & Process Modeling and Life Cycle & Adaptive Case Management & Smart Application Extensibility with Oracle Process Accelerators.

I would also recommend to watch great introduction to Adaptive Case Management the on-demand webcast with Bruce Silver & Ajay Khanna. Thanks to Mark Foster from the A-team for the ACM article series & Leon Smiers for their blog posts.

Oracle OpenWorld 2013 – Wrap up by Sven Bernhardt

October 17, 2013 Leave a comment

OOW 2013 is over and we’re heading home, so it is time to lean back and reflecting about the impressions we have from the conference.

First of all: OOW was great! It was a pleasure to be a part of it. As already mentioned in our last blog article: It was the biggest OOW ever. Parallel to the conference the America’s Cup took place in San Francisco and the Oracle Team America won. Amazing job by the team and again congratulations from our side

Back to the conference. The main topics for us are:

  • Oracle SOA / BPM Suite 12c
  • Adaptive Case management (ACM)
  • Big Data
  • Fast Data
  • Cloud
  • Mobile

Below we will go a little more into detail, what are the key takeaways regarding the mentioned points:

Oracle SOA / BPM Suite 12c
During the five days at OOW, first details of the upcoming major release of Oracle SOA Suite 12c and Oracle BPM Suite 12c have been introduced. Some new key features are:

  • Managed File Transfer (MFT) for transferring big files from a source to a target location
  • Enhanced REST support by introducing a new REST binding
  • Introduction of a generic cloud adapter, which can be used to connect to different cloud providers, like Salesforce
  • Enhanced analytics with BAM, which has been totally reengineered (BAM Console now also runs in Firefox!)
  • Introduction of templates (OSB pipelines, component templates, BPEL activities templates)
  • EM as a single monitoring console
  • OSB design-time integration into JDeveloper (Really great!)
  • Enterprise modeling capabilities in BPM Composer

These are only a few points from what is coming with 12c. We are really looking forward for the new realese to come out, because this seems to be really great stuff. The suite becomes more and more integrated. From 10g to 11g it was an evolution in terms of developing SOA-based applications. With 12c, Oracle continues it’s way – very impressive.

Adaptive Case Management
Another fantastic topic was Adaptive Case Management (ACM). The Oracle PMs did a great job especially at the demo grounds in showing the upcoming Case Management UI (will be available in 11g with the next BPM Suite MLR Patch), the roadmap and the differences between traditional business process modeling. They have been very busy during the conference because a lot of partners and customers have been interested :-)

Big Data
Big Data is one of the current hype themes. Because of huge data amounts from different internal or external sources, the handling of these data becomes more and more challenging. Companies have a need for analyzing the data to optimize their business. The challenge is here: the amount of data is growing daily! To store and analyze the data efficiently, it is necessary to have a scalable and flexible infrastructure. Here it is important that hardware and software are engineered to work together. Therefore several new features of the Oracle Database 12c, like the new in-memory option, have been presented by Larry Ellison himself.

From a hardware side new server machines like Fujitsu M10 or new processors, such as Oracle’s new M6-32 have been announced. The performance improvements, when using one of these hardware components in connection with the improved software solutions were really impressive. For more details about this, please take look at our previous blog post.

Regarding Big Data, Oracle also introduced their Big Data architecture, which consists of:

  • Oracle Big Data Appliance that is preconfigured with Hadoop
  • Oracle Exdata which stores a huge amount of data efficently, to achieve optimal query performance
  • Oracle Exalytics as a fast and scalable Business analytics system

Analysis of the stored data can be performed using SQL, by streaming the data directly from Hadoop to an Oracle Database 12c. Alternatively the analysis can be directly implemented in Hadoop using “R”. In addition Oracle BI Tools can be used to analyze the data.

Fast Data
Fast Data is a complementary approach to Big Data. A huge amount of mostly unstructured data comes in via different channels with a high frequency. The analysis of these data streams is also important for companies, because the incoming data has to be analyzed regarding business-relevant patterns in real-time. Therefore these patterns must be identified efficiently and performant. To do so, in-memory grid solutions in combination with Oracle Coherence and Oracle Event Processing demonstrated very impressive how efficient real-time data processing can be.

One example for Fast Data solutions that was shown during the OOW was the analysis of twitter streams regarding customer satisfaction. The feeds with negative words like “bad” or “worse” have been filtered and after a defined treshold has been reached in a certain timeframe, a business event was triggered.

Cloud
Another key trend in the IT market is of course Cloud Computing and what it means for companies and their businesses. Oracle announced their Cloud strategy and vision – companies can focus on their real business while all of the applications are available via Cloud. This also includes Oracle Database or Oracle Weblogic, so that companies can also build, deploy and run their own applications within the cloud. Three different approaches have been introduced:

  • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
  • Platform as a Service (PaaS)
  • Software as a Service (SaaS)

Using the IaaS approach only the infrastructure components will be managed in the Cloud. Customers will be very flexible regarding memory, storage or number of CPUs because those parameters can be adjusted elastically. The PaaS approach means that besides the infrastructure also the platforms (such as databases or application servers) necessary for running applications will be provided within the Cloud. Here customers can also decide, if installation and management of these infrastructure components should be done by Oracle. The SaaS approach describes the most complete one, hence all applications a company uses are managed in the Cloud. Oracle is planning to provide all of their applications, like ERP systems or HR applications, as Cloud services.

In conclusion this seems to be a very forward-thinking strategy, which opens up new possibilities for customers to manage their infrastructure and applications in a flexible, scalable and future-oriented manner.

As you can see, our OOW days have been very very interresting. We collected many helpful informations for our projects. The new innovations presented at the confernce are great and being part of this was even greater! We are looking forward to next years’ conference!
