Maximize Productivity for Developers and Business Analysts
Oracle Cloud includes robust development tools that enable professional programmers to create enterprise
Java apps and cloud-native apps using standard JavaScript and HTML, as well as code-free, visual tools that
empower citizen developers and business analysts to develop and deploy complete applications in minutes.
For example, nontechnical staff members can use Oracle Mobile Cloud Service to create applications for
smartphones and tablets via a browser-based, declarative environment, and then leverage standard APIs to
integrate enterprise data sources in a simple and intuitive manner. Seamless integration with Oracle SaaS
applications—handling everything from employee onboarding to sales force automation—minimizes IT
dependencies and reduces infrastructure costs associated with traditional DevTest and deployment processes.
The end result is better and faster services for your customers and employees.
Choose: In addition to using Oracle Cloud for DevTest, you can choose where you deploy your apps—in
the public cloud, a private cloud, or an on-premises cloud, with an instance of Oracle Cloud behind your firewall.
Respond: You can monitor public cloud services using the same tools that you use to monitor your on-premises
systems, and control everything from a single console: database, middleware, operating systems, virtual
machines, and applications.
Save: Oracle’s “pay-as you-grow” model requires zero up-front capital expenses. These cloud services are
affordable and efficient, and you never have to worry about purchasing too much or too little capacity, or
getting stuck with a huge CapEx bill.
