What Enabled Oracle’s Leadership in Enterprise Integration?

Earlier, we discussed Oracle’s (ORCL) recent acquisitions of Vocado and Grapeshot. On April 25, Oracle announced that it had been positioned as a Leader in Gartner’s 2018 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Integration Platform as a Service for the second straight year. 

Oracle credits its consistent momentum and the growth of its cloud platform for this positioning.

The Oracle Cloud Platform, which includes the company’s EiPaaS (enterprise integration platform as a service) offerings, has grown three times to reach almost 3,000 customers.

Oracle was also named a leader in Gartner’s 2018 Magic Quadrant for Operations Support Systems for the seventh straight year. An OSS (operational support system) is an IT (information technology) system used by communications service providers for detecting, controlling, examining, and governing a computer or telephone network system.

Oracle’s iPaaS (integration platform as a service) offerings include the Oracle SOA Cloud and the Oracle Integration Cloud, both of which are part of the Oracle Cloud Platform. The Oracle SOA Cloud delivers a high-control platform for specialist integrators, while the Oracle Integration Clouds targets ad hoc integrators with tools such as process automation.

Oracle’s various cross-PaaS offerings can be integrated with Oracle’s iPaaS services to deliver improved productivity.
