This can be an Oracle-agnostic tool; it does not have to be Oracle-specific; it can integrate any other tools as well. However, it is very useful for integrating other Oracle applications. 

It can easily integrate Oracle Financial Suite, Oracle CPQ, and any other Oracle products, for example. When working with Oracle, this is the unmistakable integration tool we recommend. 

This is also an autonomous one, self-service, which is fantastic. If you need more messaging capacity, you can add it on a self-service page in the public cloud. It does a variety of market standard adapters, such as SAP, Google, and Facebook, as well as DocuSign.

Oracle ERP Fusion Cloud is used for enterprise resource planning. We have different ERP modules at HCM, such as human capital management, supply chain management, and asset work management. 

We use Oracle Integration Cloud to automate a large number of integrations. For example, if you want to load the employee file from, say, a boundary system or Workday, you are providing me with a file containing the employees' salaries, and designations. I need to import it into the Oracle ERP Fusion Cloud or the ERP cloud's human capital management module, but there is no simple or direct way to import that file into the ERP cloud or that CM.

In Oracle Integration Cloud, we take the file, read it, and transform it to meet the MAT requirements of the ERP cloud or SIM cloud. For example, we create the HDL for a MAT file that contains HCM data, we also automate it. Basically, you provide the file, and we transform it. We will submit the job to ERP, where we will be able to encrypt, decrypt, and increase security. The Boundary system only needs to provide the file, and we will convert it to the required format and load it into the ERP cloud, sending notifications, logging, and monitoring.

Our typical use case is getting data, either real-time or bulk data. So, in the case of bulk data, we use Oracle Integration Cloud Service to get to an FTP location and read the file from the FTP location and do the necessary transforms in the solution and send it to the Oracle Cloud.

For real-time, we use Oracle Integration Cloud Service to expose the guest services to the consumers. We send data to the Oracle Integration Cloud Service from on-premise applications. After that, we send it to Oracle Cloud and other third-party application file sorts. For example, we integrated with a bank in the past. We sent data to HSBC bank and City Bank using the Oracle Integration Cloud Service.

If I want to integrate with my on-premise application at the financial organization finance, I can do so. I can use the SAT finance and I have Oracle Fusion as my HR solution. I can send information from Oracle Fusion to Oracle SAP. Integration is required and I can use OICS for the dashboard. I can use two types of approaches - one is a real-time approach, and another is the best processing approach. I would always prefer to go with that best processing approach, and if we set a middle layer. It's good, however, to have options.

In the middle layer, I can set up one type of integration - a Journey integration. With the Journey integration, are have personal-related information. It is already, readily, available.

There are three major scenarios where we use the product. One is Oracle has applications integrated with other applications internal to the customers' organization. 

The second use case is having Oracle SaaS applications integrated with third-party suppliers or third-party integrator applications. For example, for a payment gateway of a bank. 

The third one is this OIC integration. Cloud services are used as a standardized integration platform, where they'll be used even for non-Oracle SaaS application purposes. In a hybrid model, they can use it for various applications. This becomes an integration platform to bring any other applications, whether upstream or downstream, connected to the product for services offering as well as consumption of the services.

Our use case is for its different modular compartments. We have different target integrations with different applications such as Ariba, Concur, Workday, where we're using the connectors to connect to those applications. We're using both mechanisms and lookups and the database systems that come with OIC. We've started our DVC simple config and have integrated that database. We pulled from Ariba and Concur and pushed it into the database and we've done some mappings and changes. We're exploring more features of OIC to see what else we can use. Right now it is in lookups connections and integration, we're planning to use ATP for our transactions in the future. 

We also use the Visual Studio Builder and embed some customizations into this app. We will be using the VPN that comes through the Oracle PaaS and that's the strategy right now. We need to complete a final evaluation before deciding in which direction to proceed. We're customers of Oracle and I'm a customer solutions architect.

I am not well-versed in Oracle Integration Cloud Service. All I know is that it serves as a path or channel for us to transfer some files, but I am still unclear as to whether it is a cloud-based storage solution or a type of data communication tool. I am still trying to fully grasp the function and purpose of ICS.

Jang-Vijay Singh - PeerSpot reviewer

The main use case is "systems integration" for my company's enterprise customers across many different industry sectors.

Many of our customer projects use Oracle Integration Cloud or OIC iPaaS for integrations between disparate systems like ERP, e-commerce, and warehouse systems, from both Oracle and other vendors and technologies. Integration flows were developed for keeping product inventory, prices, addresses in sync between various end-systems and to support key business processes spanning many systems, departments, and organisations. 

Additional non-functional goals were maintainability, stability, scalability, graceful error-handling, decoupling for loose-coupling of distinct core systems, and "predictable performance". The predictability has been verified via repeatable testing and seamless operation in production. 

Additionally, we have implemented other use-cases like shipping integration (such as DHL, FedEx), order flows from e-commerce to ERP, & many more granular and custom use cases specific to customer needs (e.g. implementing internal APIs to support larger enterprise business processes or application user interfaces, bulk data reconciliation and many more).

In general, a cloud-based product helps avoid the high lead-up times and maintenance overheads involved in setting up in-house infrastructure, and this is adequately achieved by OIC iPaaS. 

OIC, in particular, is also well integrated with Oracle SaaS ERP via "business events" and easy to integrate via Rest APIs (though other integration platforms also offer API-based integration, it makes a lot of sense to use OIC if a customer already uses Oracle SaaS). The recent addition of the Kafka-compatible OCI Streaming has since early 2023 allowed us to support a loosely-coupled event-driven integration between different products from different vendors, built on different technologies, and supporting different throughputs.

OIC offers a number of pre-built technology and SaaS adapters for high productivity for a wide range of target systems, both in-house via agents and cloud/SaaS, via a very flexible range of interfaces. These include APIs by way of Rest/SOAP over http/s, files like ZIP and CSV over filesystem or S/FTP, databases,  and more. All of these interface types were utilized in our customer solutions to deliver a range of functionality in the form of "integration flows".

To summarise: OIC helped us to deliver high quality software engineering to our customers, with our solutions being comparably high in supportability, maintainability, loose coupling between disparate core systems, high cohesion in deployable units, clean interfaces, predictable runtime performance and other important properties for supporting any major enterprise

It is doing great. It has its own loopholes and that's where there is an opportunity for implementation partners like us. If the product was perfect, then probably there wouldn't be a place for implementation partners. So in fact, it's not the features that attract us, but the lack of features in something like Oracle Integration Cloud leaves some room for leads implementation partners like us, some room for custom implementation services. For example, the supply chain part of the solution is not completely available for the customer as a turnkey solution so we have a role to play in terms of integration into various solutions. But not all connectors are available. With Oracle Integration Cloud we have a role in terms of connecting to different applications. Also, not all features are there. Even if we are migrating Oracle on-premise, ERP, into Oracle ERP Cloud. So it's all Oracle, but still, there are holes that we need to plug in and that's where it leaves some opportunity for us.
