4 Reasons You Should Look at Process Management in the Cloud by Kris Nelsonnter a post title

clip_image001

 

Process management in the cloud offers several compelling advantages for both the business and IT teams. I see the pressure to move faster, innovate faster and deliver value immediately to our customers all around us.  Process management in the cloud offers some great ways to enable that agility in your organization. In addition to the reasons you should be looking at this, I will offer a few common use cases we are seeing as Oracle’s Process Cloud Service (PCS) begins to roll out.

Reason 1:  Business-Focused

Cloud solutions like PCS provide a comprehensive process development platform, from modeling to form development through to deployment. This is in a zero-code environment, allowing the business to define, create and manage their own business processes. One example from PCS is the play, test and validate cycle. This allows allows users to see the end-to-end application and walk through the various activities in different process roles. Features like these will allow the business to bring common business processes to market quickly. 

Reason 2:  Zero Footprint

This reason is usually listed #1, as it is one of the main drivers to move applications and systems to the cloud. Being able to quickly provision and standup a process management tool in the cloud has some compelling benefits:

  • Reduced cost to get started:  Reduce the initial capital outlay or help to move dollars from capital to expense spending, depending on your organization’s needs.
  • Faster time to provision: Zero installation means increased speed to market so that you can take advantage of opportunities to either reduce costs with process or differentiate in the marketplace. You can start in a more agile fashion, start smaller and prove things out quickly. Read the complete article here.

An Introduction to Oracle’s Integration Cloud Service (ICS) by Jennie DeRosa

clip_image002Overview

Last month, Oracle made available their latest tool within their integration cloud strategy, Integration Cloud Service (ICS).  With the number of SaaS applications growing, the need to integrate is becoming more important, making ICS even more relevant.

The intended usage of ICS are implementations of simple, light weight integrations between SaaS applications.  It resides within the cloud, is built off the Oracle Service Bus, and is available on a monthly subscription basis.

Pre-built solutions will be available in the marketplace (think app store), allowing for reusable integrations to be purchased, implemented in an accelerated manner. This will provide the option to reuse existing integrations as-is, or build on top of the existing, customizing for your business integration needs. If the pre-built solutions don’t meet your integration needs, the capability to develop your own from scratch is always on option. Either way, the development of an integration within ICS can be done using the capabilities detailed in this article.

Within ICS, there are 4 aspects: Integrations, Connections, Lookups, and Packages. Each of these will be discussed in further detail.

Integrations

Developing integrations between SaaS applications is done in ICS via a web based tool. Using drag and drop capabilities, an integration can easily be defined. Since the tool is built on top of OSB, the functions defined within the VETO (validate, enrich, transform, and operation) integration design pattern are available for implementation: Read the complete article here.

Oracle Cloud: ICS by Frank Munz

clip_image002Quite a while ago (a year before Larry announced the Oracle Public Cloud) I wrote about SaaS applications and a service bus PaaS to interconnect services: “… services are integrated and virtualized by a service bus in the cloud and orchestrated by a workflow system in the cloud [Oracle Middleware and Cloud Computing] “.

Back then it almost seemed like building castles in Spain. Indeed it took several years to build the PaaS service – yet today Thomas Kurian and Larry Ellison announce Oracle’s ICS. Now it’s out there with all the agility that comes with a cloud based solution.

It’s the cloud! So get a test account, play with it, scale it and try to break it!

Let me know what you think using @frankmunz and add: @soacommunity.

Estafet Opinion on the new Integration Cloud Service from Oracle

 

clip_image001Integration Expert Phil McLaughlin takes a look at the new cloud solution from Oracle.

Last week Oracle announced its long awaited iPaaS Integration Cloud Service (ICS) and Process Cloud Service (PCS). As integration experts, Estafet looked at these exciting new products and assessed how they will affect the integration market.

If you are interested in finding out more, come along to our event on the 24th July at the Royal Exchange London. We will delve deeper into the technology, including a live demo of ICS

The iPaaS market has been dominated by providers such as Dell Boomi, Snaplogic and Mulesoft all taking slightly different approaches towards integrating SaaS applications in the cloud. Oracle has now entered this market providing a comprehensive set of solutions of its own.  In this blog we examine Integration Cloud service (ICS), in later blogs we will look at some of the others.

So how does Oracle ICS fare against the competition?

Oracle ICS makes most sense if you already have Oracle SaaS applications that need point-to-point integrations in the cloud, or integrations to on-premise solutions (ideally using OSB) to form a hybrid cloud solution.

Many companies have one or two SaaS applications that require linking either to each other, or to existing service bus-based backend systems, and ICS is ideal for this. The Oracle SaaS endpoints that belong to the company are made available in the development environment, meaning the development of the integrations are quick and simple.
