Oracle Technical Roadmap

Oracle Technical Roadmap

Everyone is familiar with Oracle’s acquisition activity and there is plenty of press about the benefits to Oracle: filling in white spaces, growing the customer base, growing revenue, etc. All of these are good from an Oracle perspective, but if there is too little in it for existing and acquired custom-ers, this strategy will eventually fail.

Integrating Oracle BI Enterprise Edition Plus with SOA

Posted by pridham in SOA on January 26, 2008

Oracle article by Mark Rittman and Joel Crisp

Extract:

As you are most likely aware by now, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a design approach that allows developers to construct business applications and business processes out of loosely coupled, independent services provided by distributed applications. By basing your application infrastructure on SOA-enabled products such as Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle JDeveloper, and Oracle Database 11g, you’ll be able to develop applications that reuse existing functionality within your organization, adapt easily to changing business priorities, and present users with compelling, Web 2.0–style interfaces built using a framework of events, services, business rules, and application logic.

Bye bye SaaS, hello PaaS

Posted by pridham in e-world, SOA on July 20, 2007

Software as a Service (SaaS) isn’t dead, but it could soon be overtaken by Platform as a Service (PaaS), according to SaaS pioneer Salesforce.com. “The first generation of SaaS was about providing applications such as customer relationship management (CRM) and email packaged as services. With Summer ’07 we are taking this to the next level and delivering a platform with tools and services for the developer,” Salesforce.com chief marketing officer Clarence So says.

SOA + Web 2.0 = Applications 2.0

Posted by pridham in e-world, SOA on July 16, 2007

Two of the industry’s hottest buzzwords are combining to fuel one of the hottest emerging trends in the industry—the use of Web 2.0 technologies acting as front ends to SOA back-end environments.

This trend touches on RIAs (rich Internet applications), mashups, AJAX, RSS, REST (Representational State Transfer) and other Web 2.0 areas. Now being referred to as Enterprise 2.0, the Web 2.0 technologies are helping to create rich interactive front ends to SOA back-end systems. In addition, line-of-business users who typically are nondevelopers can take services and build mashups without IT involvement—a potential boon for productivity but also a possible problem without proper governance.
