All sales kits contain material to prepare, attract, engage, present and demo PaaS and Middleware solutions. Especially I would like to highlight the cheat sheets. This one page overview contains key information to position the cloud services at our joint customers. Get this sales kits, adopt them with your service offerings and references, and forward them to your sales and marketing teams.

A great example of a PaaS showcase is the integrated cloud demo for air pollution control from S&P. Make sure that you promote your services and application in the Solutions Catalog and Cloud Marketplace. Let us know in case you have similar plans! Another highlight is the Red Summer School by Link Consulting. Four student teams got hands-on trained on the PaaS solutions.

One of the next cloud services to become available is API Cloud Platform Services. Watch the video why API Management matters and attend the community webcast to get an API Cloud Platform introduction by Robert Wunderlich on August 30th 2016. The API Management is a key component of a Microservices Architecture, read the SOA Mythbusters article to understand the difference to a SOA Architecture.

Thanks to the community for sharing all the SOA articles:

An Introduction to Stream Analytics & Accessing and Analyzing Twitter Feeds & CI, DevOps and ALM for SOA Suite & Real-Time Integration Business Insight tutorial & Publishing SOA Maven plugin & SOA Suite Unit test with Groovy & SOA Suite Code Quality & Configuring Amazon RDS as the SOA Suite Database & More chaos as an OWSM policy.

Process Cloud Service and BPM Suite play a key role in Digital Engagement.

Antonis started a new blog series how to integrate PCS with external applications with REST and SOAP. Stefan published a new video of a PCS process for real estate valuation including a mobile app. In case you are working on an Adaptive Case Management project, make use of the ACM Methodology that I published in the book Best Practices for Knowledge Workers (digital edition).

PCS Travel Request Management – Process Form Creation by Red Mavericks

clip_image001

 

The fourth video by Red Mavericks (http://www.redmavericks.com) addresses the use of Oracle’s Process Cloud Service to build and deploy a full working Business Travel Request application in 40 minutes.
This is the first of a series of 4 videos that will guide you through the application creation process of a BPM application, using near zero code, which makes it particularly suitable for Business Analysts to also be engaged.

For this part, the focus is on Process Form Design using Oracle’s PCS Web Form builder, i.e. the process diagram that will guide the application’s general behavior. The use case was made for Link Consulting’s (http://www.linkconsulting.com/oracle) Process Cloud Event, held on July 2015. Watch the video here.

HCL Predictive Maintenance Solution based on IoT Cloud Service

clip_image002

 

Luis Weir and the HCL team build an excellent PaaS showcase for predictive maintenance.

Predictive Maintenance HCL PaaS Showcase

• Industry value proposition solving a business problem

• PaaS services: IoT, MCS, PCS, ICS

Industries such as aeronautics, automotive, manufacturing, high-tech and even healthcare always deal with the management of thousands of assets. This activity is complex in very costly. Even more so due to manual business processes and disconnected systems (many of them legacy). HCL’s ServiSmart solution reduces costs by connecting assets into a streamlined and pre-built end-to-end digital business process to automate tasks such as fault recognition and diagnosis, work allocation, repairs tracking and ongoing maintenance. Watch the video here.

Internet of Things (IoT) Cloud Service available

clip_image001The News

Oracle Internet of Things Cloud Service is now available!  Oracle IoT Cloud Service is a secure and scalable platform to help organizations quickly build and deploy IoT applications. This new offering allows customers to gain new data-driven insights and drive actions from IoT by connecting, analyzing and integrating device data into business processes and applications like remote equipment monitoring and asset tracking.

Value Proposition

The three core elements of IoT Cloud Service are – connect, analyze and integrate

         Connect –  Using IoT Cloud Service, users can collect data from any device in any market—reliably and securely. It abstracts away the technical challenges of connecting to devices/gateways and accelerates your time to market with an open, secure, and scalable platform.

         Analyze –  Gathering IoT data is pointless if customers can’t get value from it. IoT Cloud Service performs real-time analytics and enables big data and predictive analytics to deliver the enriched enterprise data that enables you to identify new services and improve customer satisfaction.

         Integrate –  IoT Cloud Service extends enterprise applications using open interfaces and pre-integrations with Oracle’s platform-as-a-service (PaaS), software-as-a-service (SaaS) and on-premise applications to reduce total cost of ownership for IoT data-enriched applications and processes.

Need to Know

Here are some assets and information to help you effectively sell Oracle IoT Cloud Service into your accounts:

         Sales Tools and Collateral:  Customer-facing content available on cloud.oracle.com/iot

1.      Create opportunities using IoT Discovery Workshop: contact us for more information

2.      Access all IoT presentations from Open World 2015 here. (SOA Community membership required)

3.      Access customer facing e-book & solution brief

         Publicity: Oracle Internet of Things was announced in a press release at Oracle OpenWorld 2015 and is included in ongoing social media activities.

         Pricing and Availability:  Oracle IoT Cloud Service is now orderable and pricing for Metered and non-Metered (Subscription) is now available in the Price Book.  Pricing will be available at cloud.oracle.com shortly.

Who to target

         Customers interested in remote monitoring of their industrial equipments to drive proactive and predictive maintenance

         Customers interested in tracking assets to optimize their logistics operations or for safety and policy adherence

         Customers in industries such as industrial manufacturing, construction, utilities, agriculture and transportation/logistics

         Existing Oracle e-Business Suite, JD Edwards E1, Oracle Service Cloud, Oracle Transportation Management customers

Key features

         Device Virtualization – IoT Cloud Service exposes every connected device as a set of resources. This abstracts any complexity associated with device connectivity and standardizes the integration of devices with the enterprise

         Flexible Topology – Devices can connect to the Oracle IoT Cloud Service using different types of network topologies – using client library, gateway software or directly using REST API. This offers customers flexibility to integrate their devices with IoT Cloud Service.

         Stream processing – IoT Cloud Service performs real time analysis of incoming data streams with event aggregation, filtering and correlation. With a business-friendly interface, customers can quickly identify key events and exceptions at real-time

         Event Store – Analyzed data streams can be sent to integrated cloud services or enterprise applications for further processing and driving business workflows. Customers can query and visualize massive amounts of data with integrated Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service support and enable Big Data Analysis.

         Enterprise Integration –IoT Cloud Service enables API based integration with Oracle enterprise applications such as E-Business Suite, JD Edwards Enterprise One, Oracle Transportation Management, Oracle Service Cloud as well as PaaS services like Oracle Mobile Cloud Service and Oracle Integration Cloud Service

         Command & Control – Users can send messages to devices from enterprise & mobile applications, independent of device connectivity. Enterprise applications can also use the Oracle IoT Cloud Service REST API to issue commands and make queries to devices, providing customized, intelligent orchestration for business.

Key Benefits

         Faster Time to Market –  Extend manufacturing processes & logistics operations by leveraging connected devices

         Real-Time Insight –  Optimize asset tracking by analyzing and acting on in-flight IoT data

         Integrated –  Drive predictive maintenance using pre-built integrations with applications, analytics & mobile services
