The rich variety of features of Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace enable you to save time and money in the following ways:

  • Reduce costs. You can reduce IT maintenance and administrative costs. Oracle handles all platform provisioning, installation, and domain configuration. Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace is subscription-based, which means that you only pay when using the service. No large investment in hardware and IT expertise is required. This lets you fully concentrate on design, test, and deployment of integration solutions.
  • Create test environments in the cloud. You can quickly subscribe to Oracle SOA Suite on Marketplace to create application test environments in the cloud. There is no need to provision and configure your own servers. Move workloads to the cloud, from cloud to cloud, and from cloud to on-premises environments. When testing is done, you can release your subscription.
  • Monitor and manage your environment. You can initiate VM backups and restore with minimal configuration from the cloud.

In addition, you can extend your enterprise to the cloud and deploy Oracle SOA Suite projects where you need them. For example, you can integrate an Oracle Fusion Cloud Sales Automation new customer account with a Siebel application. This enables a customer that purchases a product through Oracle Fusion Cloud Sales Automation to receive support for that product through the Siebel system. For this same Oracle Fusion Cloud Sales Automation event, you can also synchronize the customer account information to an on-premises finance application to ensure that the billing and accounts receivable modules receive payment from the customer.
