In a marketplace where business environments are constantly changing, organizations need robust, scalable, flexible, and commercially viable technology platforms that can meet their dynamic business needs. The adoption of cloud has helped several enterprises build, extend and host applications on public cloud. Those enterprises that resisted the early wave of cloud adoption are now trying to catch up to realize its benefits. Despite concerns around security, integration, architecture, etc., hybrid cloud models continue to evolve, helping enterprises to:
- Focus on core development without worrying about infrastructure
- Invest in quick provisioning and faster outcomes and deployments
- Leverage innovative models that address infrastructure/application maintenance challenges
- Achieve business agility with Oracle Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for Software-as-as-Service (PaaS4SaaS)
Currently, enterprise adoption of PaaS is 27% and is expected to reach 72% in the next 5 years. PaaS allows enterprises to build applications quickly, deploy securely without having to manage the entire platform. While Oracle has designed and launched several successful SaaS applications, it has also released 24 new PaaS services in the past quarter. Some of the mature PaaS services are being adopted by enterprises to build extensions (PaaS4SaaS) and customizations.
