The nature of business IT environments is that there is a requirement for most organisations to be operating a variety of applications, technologies and business processes on-premise and in the cloud. However, integration can prove to be less than cost effective and at times, slow. This is due to IT teams being inundated with technology and infrastructure issues instead of having the time and resources to prioritise business-led initiatives that can help to adapt to a changing landscape.
Integration projects are generally managed over the long term as the applications continue to change and new versions of integrations will be implemented in response to changing requirements within the business. The cost essentially increases as the integration points increase, due to the exacerbation of complexity and risk associated with the integration process.
Pre-built adapters, template integrations and other integration tools can support you to quickly create complex integrations between a variety of systems and technologies without any concern for connectivity or infrastructure issues.
Integration isn’t as simple as it might sound, and is more than moving data from one system to another. Integration can involve complex situations where multiple systems need to disseminate information and data needs to be loaded in the right order before loading, in order to avoid any potential risks in data integrity.
It’s important that an integration cloud platform provides complete workflow capabilities, including routing, tasking, error management and other management tools to ensure error handling can be automatic or manual, if required.
Having autonomous capabilities is important so that you don’t need to be concerned about performance, patching, security or infrastructure and can therefore keep your focus on the delivery requirements rather than admin tasks.
When integrating in the cloud, why choose Oracle Integration Cloud?
Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) is a platform which integrates across cloud and on-premise applications. It simplifies connectivity between key 3rd party enterprise applications and on-premise applications. The platform offers enterprise-grade security, no hand-coding required and governance capabilities.
Aside from offering ease of connectivity, Oracle Integration Cloud can also:
- Lower costs: OIC can dramatically reduce the need for custom built APIs and point-to-point integration solutions by managing all integrations in one transparent platform.
- Agility: OIC gives organisations the flexibility to respond quickly and easily to changing industry conditions, emerging technologies, and customer demands. Users can easily connect and integrate new applications to deploy new services rapidly and frequently.’
- Higher security: OIC is designed for maximum security at each data connecting point. This ensures no data leakage or vulnerabilities through the integration layer.
