Salesforce
Integration
Platform as a Service
Oracle SaaS
Applications
Best When
• Most integrations are between cloud-based applications
• Low to no need for integration to on-premises, or
between on-premises applications
• Integrations are less complex (ICS)
• In-house integration skills are limited
• Focus is on rapid integration

Applications
On-premises
Integration Platform
Best When
• Most applications, business processes and data are on-
premises
• Low to no requirements for integration to cloud services
and APIs
• Privacy/security needs prevent move to cloud
deployments
• Strict quality of service/SLA requirements require close
control
• Complexity of on-premises IT requires a full-featured,
flexible integration platform on the ground

40. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | 41
When Hybrid Integration?
Best When
• Need a strategic and comprehensive platform
• Want to balance quick delivery projects with a systematic
approach to integration
• Need to handle combinations of
• Cloud to cloud to on-premises
• On-premises to on-premises
• Mobile, IoT, B2B, API Management
• Want to extend an established on-premises integration
platform
• Quickly attach to existing on-premises integration flows whilst
leveraging the ease of use of the Cloud
• Want to move existing integration flows to the public cloud (e.g.
Mobile, B2B)
