Oracle Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) Initiative
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
is a software application delivery model
where applications are developed to run over
the Internet and are hosted and operated,
either by the company that develops the application
or through a third party, for use by its
customers. Market
research (PDF) indicates
that the trend is toward a majority of applications
being available in a SaaS model within the
next three years.
The Oracle
SaaS Platform – based on Oracle's
mature, proven technology including Oracle
Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle
Enterprise Manager – enables companies
to offer secure, scalable and customizable
on-demand software services to their customers.
In addition, on-premise and on-demand solutions
can be integrated with Siebel
CRM On Demand and with Oracle Applications
through the Oracle
Application Integration Architecture for
Partners Initiative. The Oracle Software-as-a-Service
Initiative provides access to information,
tools and resources that will help guide
partners as they build solutions to be offered
in a SaaS model. In addition, partners with
SaaS solutions that run on the Oracle SaaS
Platform or integrate with Oracle products
can apply to join the SaaS Initiative and
participate in the ecosystem of Oracle partners
offering SaaS solutions, promoting their
solutions and leveraging the available tools
and resources. |
