Explore what Oracle Cloud Applications has to offer to our integration partners

ISVs deliver better value to their customers with Oracle's wide range of enterprise SaaS and Industry Cloud Applications.

Innovation and Development Investment

Oracle makes a significant and continuing investment in the innovation and development of our cloud applications to meet the evolving market demands and customer needs. You can benefit from this investment as well. The rapid and continuous pace of development means that current and leading cloud and industry applications are available for your integrated applications.

Fastest Innovation

Oracle's success depends on continuous innovation, and we help our customers and partners achieve the same through our commitments to research, rapid development and rollout of new features, and more. At Oracle, we:

  • Invest an average of $7 billion in R&D each year
  • Have 40,000 developers
  • Have 20,000 partners globally so that customer business has the ongoing support and resources they need for success
  • Listen to our customers — 80% of our innovations are customer sourced
  • Deliver regular streams of innovations for our cloud applications
  • Deliver more than 1,200 cloud application features across the suite annually — updates are done automatically for minimal disruption to your environments and customer business
  • Completely re-engineered Oracle Cloud Infrastructure so speed and application performance concerns aren't at the top of your list
  • Built a security-first design into every layer of the technology stack, so you don't have to worry about who has access to your data
Scheduled Updates

Updates to most cloud applications are provided on a planned schedule which enables you to plan your resources for optimized development and release cycles that keep customers current with your product.

Innovate with Oracle

Innovate with Oracle in our SaaS solutions as we help drive growth with technologies including:

  • Autonomous Data Management: Oracle Autonomous Database is the world's first and only autonomous database, and it redefines database management by using machine learning and automation to eliminate human labor, human error, and manual tuning—reducing cost and complexity and ensuring higher reliability, security, and more operational efficiency.
  • AI, Machine Learning, Chatbots, Digital Assistants IoT, Blockchain, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality: each of these increasingly vital to digital innovation and forward-thinking providers
  • Industry SaaS: vertical depth and horizontal connectedness

Security-First Design

At Oracle, we take a very different approach to security than other cloud providers. We believe security should always be on, should default to maximum settings, and shouldn't be prohibitively expensive. We believe a major reason companies' systems are breached is because their security is so complex and often added to workloads after they start to scale, rather than designed in.

Our highly automated and secure cloud infrastructure is designed to run the most mission-critical, high-volume, and high-performance applications for customers of any size, and our cloud applications suite was developed with a focus on security first. An isolated design improves data protection, scalability, and performance. As part of a global ecosystem, the suite can connect securely to multicloud environments and other systems.

Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications Suite enables customers to benefit from the latest advances in the best technology, including industry-leading security, enterprise-grade scalability, and mission critical performance—all in a connected ecosystem. We do it all, so you can focus on innovation and serving your customers.

Integrated Cloud Applications Means More Opportunity

With Oracle's integrated suite of applications, customers spend less time and money implementing and integrating. This provides more opportunity to explore and engage your integrated application to extend functionality, solve additional problems, and deliver successful outcomes for customers.

Connected SaaS Business Processes

To simplify integration and management, our modern SaaS suite is built on a single, standards-based platform that includes a common, enterprise-wide data model; a unified user experience (including mobile and social); shared security levels; synchronized release schedules; and more.

Single Suite of Applications

With Oracle's modern and complete SaaS suite of applications built with AI and machine learning (ML) across all business functions, your applications integrate with the latest advances in the best technology—ready when you need it. Your customers will spend less time analyzing requirements and integrating, managing, and upgrading hardware and software. Which frees them to be more innovative with your integrated application to solve problems and accelerate their business.

Advanced Cloud Infrastructure

Building an integration with a complete SaaS suite and cloud applications built on an advanced cloud infrastructure is a good choice to gain business agility and be ready for growth. Hosting your integrated application on this same advanced cloud infrastructure makes Oracle a great choice.

At Oracle, we own all of the technology stack that powers our suite of cloud applications. And because we own the stack, we pass our cost savings on to you. Your business no longer needs to worry about maintaining a data center, hardware, operating systems, database, network, or all the security for the development and production needs of your integrated application.

Built on our own next-generation cloud platform and cloud infrastructure, we can support your integrations on the same advanced cloud infrastructure upon which Oracle cloud apps are built and enable them to benefit from the latest advances in technology.

Price-performance advantage

As an ISV, you need predictable costs to plan your budgets and run your business. Running workloads in the cloud can make it extremely difficult to accurately forecast cost over time—but not with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).

OCI delivers higher performance and lower costs for virtually every enterprise software application, and is consistently less expensive than AWS for a wide range of popular cloud workloads. Oracle has simple rate structures that eliminate the cost surprises associated with hard-to-estimate usage elements such as data egress or storage performance. And with public cloud regions across the globe, Oracle charges the same rates for all regions, so going global on Oracle Cloud doesn't increase the cost of service.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Service Level Agreement (SLA)

Enterprises demand more than just availability from their cloud infrastructure. Mission-critical workloads also require consistent performance, and the ability to manage, monitor, and modify resources running in the cloud at any time. Only Oracle offers end-to-end SLAs covering performance, availability, manageability of services.

Migrate and Host Your Integration Solution on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) offers the opportunity to migrate or build and host your integrated applications with minimal re-architecture or reintegration, and delivers higher performance at lower cost than deployments running on-premises or on competitors' clouds. OCI includes all the core infrastructure and platform-as-a-service options to meet key needs of your product. And with Oracle Lift Services, you can obtain free expert guidance from cloud engineers on planning, architecting, prototyping, and managing cloud migrations.

Dedicated engineering resources

Oracle Cloud Lift dedicates its top engineers to quickly migrate eligible customer workloads to Oracle Cloud, enabling customers to derive value from OCI investments.

Support from planning through go-live

A dedicated group of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure experts will assist you from inception through go-live activities, including assessment, designing and prototyping, migration, and management to accelerate your time to value.

Program access is included with tenancy

The Oracle Cloud Lift program includes available services globally and is a part of the customer's tenancy on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

Oracle SaaS Migration Playbook

Over the last few years, we've migrated more than 60 SaaS-based applications to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. These applications support core enterprise functions across eight industry verticals and more than 199,000 customers across the globe.

In this playbook, we share key challenges, lessons learned, best practices, and the benefits we've experienced on our own journey to cloud to quickly start cloud transformation work for you.

Cloud Integration Flexibility That Has Rewards

We have an open ecosystem which includes support for flexible deployment models. We want to help our customers avoid vendor lock-in by allowing integration through Oracle Cloud and Cloud@Customer using publicly documented, available and published API's.

Oracle Integration for Oracle SaaS, a streamlined version of Oracle Integration Cloud, gives you the features and benefits of Oracle Integration with a focus on SaaS to you get up and running faster with fewer integration complexities. With Dedicated Region Cloud@Customer, Oracle brings its complete portfolio of public cloud services and Oracle Fusion SaaS applications into the customer data center. This deployment flexibility provides greater opportunity for your integrated application to deliver success in a consistent cloud environment that meets the needs of your customers without maintaining separate products per environment.

If you're already an Oracle partner that integrates with our on-premises applications and technology programs and paying for software license support, then moving your integration to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) has its rewards for you. With Oracle Support Rewards, the more that you use, the more you save. Customers earn $0.25 to $0.33 in rewards for every $1 spent on OCI. Then apply those rewards to reduce your tech software license support bill, even down to zero1.

 

1 Reduction in tech support bill is subject to region tax regulations. Taxes cannot be paid with rewards and only the pretax invoice amount can be paid with rewards.

Unparalleled Choice for Customers and Partners

Every organization can leverage Oracle Cloud Applications. With more than 1,100 cloud applications, customers have unparalleled choice and you have unparalleled opportunity with your integrations through the world's most complete suite of applications. Built on the best technology, Oracle Cloud Applications delivers continuous innovation with applications across every business function—and you can build upon the business resilience, security, and flexibility to deliver what your customers need.
