Oracle Cloud Services

Keynote from Larry was all cloud, cloud, cloud! More SaaS than anyone else

◦ announced dozens of services in the last year ◦ probably hundreds across all the sectors

Platform upgrade ◦ data as a service (BlueKai acquisition) ◦ some of these offerings included capabilities that sounded like enterprise Dropbox

Cloud (Middleware)

Integration Cloud Service ◦ Web UI for integration (OSB underneath) ◦ Ethos change: no deployment - develop and promote to

production ◦ Automated mappings (can be overridden) when going

between own cloud services or Oracle adaptors to 3rd party ◦ Can build own mappings & incorporate own functionality ◦ One-way migration to on-premise OSB
