How To Configure OIC In 4 Simple Steps?
Organizations in today’s competitive world face an overwhelming task on managing tens or hundreds of software. Now, it is difficult to stay updated with each and every software or technological advancement. Difficulties emerge when you are looking to combine all these factors together, as integration solutions are majorly complex, take time and can be expensive.
This happens due to the IT team’s short-term struggles to manage current technology along with looking after the organizational databases. Moreover, there are some long-term issues, like the requirement to continually adapt to changes in the integration solution, implement testing, and roll-out updates. Depending on the number of integrations, the entire process can be complex and tricky, which will incur a considerable cost.
Oracle Integration Cloud manages to minimize these issues by offering a platform that can build integrations between your technology, apps, and processes, without having to oversee your databases, connections, and infrastructure. Hence, your business can focus on growth, instead of focusing on troubleshooting.
What is Oracle Integration Cloud?
Oracle Integration Cloud or commonly known as OIC is a dedicated integration product by Oracle that connects your systems and applications with third-party enterprise software and various cloud-based programs. It manages to do so in real-time and leverages industry-leading security to provide business safety at all times. As an advantage, it doesn’t require much coding experience to set up, monitor and maintain cloud integration. Oracle Integration Cloud offers your business unparalleled levels of sync which can significantly enhance your business productivity.
OIC is a smart way to connect two Cloud applications or any existing on-site application with a Cloud application. There are many ways to do this, for example Dell Boomi has a separate method for integrations. Similar to that, OIC is an amalgamation of various functions revolving around application development and integration in the cloud.
OIC can be looked at as a single platform that provides integration, analytics and development functionalities. Due to this, it gets easier for the IT team to develop user-intuitive applications and integrate them seamlessly on the Cloud. It has enabled enterprises to grow digitally and reach the next level.

Before OIC, there was an inherent need of a platform to build connections. Oracle identified the gap in the industry and was quick to come up with Oracle Integration Cloud which has transformed the face of the industry. Through Oracle Integration Cloud, businesses can leverage adapters for data exchange. These two points are referred as end points in OIC jargon.
In other words, OIC is a connecting bridge between two end points (the source and the destination). So, with the help of OIC, data can be mapped and connected to different end points. Now, how does this happen? OIC reads, maps and transfers data from one object to another with the help of Connection Adapters (data exchange between the source and the destination).
