OIC – CPQ Integration by Niall Commiskey

Here is a short introduction to the OIC CPQ adapter. As a pre-requisite, I suggest you read the Oracle CPQ Cloud – Service descriptions It is available here
Now back to the OIC CPQ adapter – A short introduction from the adapter docs – available here
The Oracle Configure, Price, and Quote (CPQ) Cloud Adapter enables you to create an integration with an Oracle CPQ application. The Oracle CPQ Cloud Adapter enables you to convert sales opportunities into revenue by automating the quoting and sales order process with guided selling, dynamic pricing, and a workflow approval process. Oracle CPQ cloud extends sales automation to include the creation of an optimal quote, which enables sales personnel to configure and price complex products; select the best options, promotions, and deal terms; and include upsell and renewals, all using automated workflows.

The main use case for Oracle CPQ Cloud is as the trigger (source) in an integration in
which Oracle Sales Cloud is the invoke (target). This adapter replicates the point-to-point
integration that exists today between Oracle CPQ Cloud and Oracle Sales Cloud. Read the complete article here.

JD Edwards orchestrations exposes business process steps tied together graphically through the robust semantics of REST standards. JD Edwards orchestrations are great way to simplify, integrate and automate repeated tasks through digital technologies. JD Edwards orchestrations are executed at AIS Server however they are designed via a tool called as Orchestrator studio, with JD Edwards tools release 9.2.4.0, Orchestrator studio is also part of AIS Server that further simplifies deployment of Orchestrator studio.

Why did Ovum name Oracle a leader in Hybrid Integration Platforms and why is it important? By Daryl Eicher

Integration is the lifeblood of today’s digital
economy…

Looking for practical ways to accelerate your digital business development? Do you have a mix of SaaS and on-premises business systems from multiple vendors? What would it mean to your application modernization and transformation projects if you could cut your time to connect and extend any application from months to minutes? That’s what Oracle Integration has done for thousands of connected businesses like yours.

Ovum named Oracle a leader in the hybrid integration platform market based on several key differentiators:

• Uniform UX

"Oracle offers a uniform UX across various products of this middleware portfolio, something which many of its competitors have struggled to offer."

• Intelligent Automation

"Oracle exploits ML capabilities for providing recommendations at various stages of the design, testing, and deployment cycle…"

• Insight for End-to-End Processes Read the complete article here.

Help Wanted: How A Grocer Finds Workers Willing To ‘Do It All’ With A Smile by Linda Currey

To work in Britain’s Co-op food stores, employees have to do a little bit of everything during any given shift. To keep the Co-op convenience stores and neighborhood markets running smoothly, staffers may accept deliveries, unpack boxes of groceries, flowers, and household items, stock the shelves, clean up spills, or run the registers, all while welcoming customers. New hires need the qualifications to do it all.

Workers restock shelves in one of Britain’s Co-op food stores. “It’s hard work,” says Yvonne Foster, head of resourcing services for the Co-op. It’s hard work for Foster and her team as well, who need to recruit and retain the company’s 65,000 employees across the United Kingdom.

The Co-op is as interesting as the people it’s trying to recruit. In business since 1844, it is owned by its 4.6 million members, who get a 5% discount in the shops, as well as access to Co-op offerings for insurance, healthcare, and funeral services. Read the complete article here.
