ORACLE Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Oracle Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) helps enterprise
IT and independent software vendor (ISV) developers
rapidly build and deploy rich applications - or extend
Oracle Cloud SaaS apps - using an enterprise-grade cloud
platform based on the industry's #1 database and
application server.

ORACLE Platform as a Service (PaaS)

Business Drivers for Business Adoption
1. Greater agility, flexibility, and innovation through automated
processes, increased collaboration, higher productivity, and
real-time business insights.
2. Accelerated application innovation and time to market
3. Improved security to help reduce risks
4. Simplified IT, lower costs, and streamlined operations, including
integration and connectivity with existing on-premises
applications.

ORACLE Platform as a Service (PaaS) - Why?

1. Industry leaders are embracing digital technologies at an ever-
increasing pace to create innovative business processes that disrupt
their markets. But many enterprises are still struggling to achieve the
agility that’s so critical to their success. The reason? It’s simply taking too
long.
2. Developing and testing new applications and setting up new
environments can take weeks or even months. Just the task of
maintaining the database and middleware that support all the
application development and deployment environments can become
so time consuming that IT has little opportunity to update or extend
existing applications. As a result, innovation slows while the cost of
supporting that innovation continues to rise.

PaaS For SaaS

¡ Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a way of building
applications faster and more efficiently.
¡ PaaS helps to extend the SaaS Solution and also the On-
Premise Solution.
¡ Normally SaaS Solutions cannot be customized, hence
creating extensions for the SaaS solutions is made
possible by using the PaaS to make it a seamless
integration.
