Oracle-PaaS4SaaS 21: PaaS4SaaS - Extend Oracle Cloud Applications

Oracle PaaS4SaaS is a term that reflected the use of Platform as a Service (PaaS) for Software as a Service (SaaS), what does it mean is to use PaaS products for your SaaS products/services. Uses of PaaS can be categories into a. to build extension/features to your Oracle SaaS application like any feature/extension to HCM/ERP Cloud applications, b. we can migrate our existing custom build application to PaaS as it is actually a development platform like JCS, c. Use Integration tools of PaaS to integrate hybrid deployed applications.

In this podcast, we specifically discussed the PaaS4SaaS option of adding additional features/functionality to Cloud HCM/ERP/CX applications. This extension through Java Cloud Service – SaaS Extension is our topic. What actually JCS-SX is and how it works and how we can use Oracle Applications Cloud User Experience Rapid Development Kit (RDK) to develop our own extensions. We explored how Oracle Tech consultant can transform their career to start learning now about JCS.

Java Cloud Service: We have seen over the past few years that due to complex requirements for custom extension development  Java Cloud Service enterprise edition with Database Cloud service is the right fit for custom development. As it gives you full control over the development and management of Java as a PaaS model to fulfill high requirements due to the high workload of your organizations.

Visual Builder Cloud Service: VBCS is the low code development platform that is available now as a part of Oracle Integration Cloud. VBCS can be used to develop lightweight extensions development, integrate with external systems, and incorporate business processes. basically, as part of Oracle Integration Cloud you will be getting the following 3 products to achieve custom requirements:

  • Integration with Oracle, non-Oracle applications including cloud, on-premise
  • Process Cloud Service
  • Visual Builder Cloud Service

Don’t forget to share your comments with me. Let’s together learn new technologies. We have not covered other PaaS offerings like SOA CS, ICS, Process Cloud Services, Document Cloud Service, BI Cloud Service and Mobile Cloud Service, etc.
