Speed and seamless integration make Oracle’s Cloud Platform an attractive option for customers with on-premise products and SaaS applications in the Cloud.

“The challenge becomes how to seamlessly connect those on-premise assets to the assets that run in the Cloud,” Amit Zavery, Oracle’s senior VP of Integration Products, told theCUBE during the Oracle Cloud Platform Launch. “They want a solution that makes it easy to do the mapping of different application end points and also makes it easy for business users and analysts to connect. Hybrid integration becomes very important.”

Seamless and quick integration

This integration should happen not only seamlessly, but quickly.

“An app developer or programmer doesn’t want to wait for IT to give them a system,” said Zavery. “They can go to the Cloud and get a Java instance or an integration instance in less than five minutes. There is also flexibility in terms of adoption. I can do subscription-based month to month and pay for it as I use it. That makes it easy to do dev tests very quickly.”

These two features – integration and speed – separate Oracle from the Cloud competition.

“We have a platform that is broad and deep that is well integrated with SaaS offerings, as well as able to add capacity on demand,” said Zavery. “The other differentiator is that we have Java-based Cloud offerings that are integrated with standard development tools. Others have to rewrite the whole platform on prem.”
