Building Modern Oracle ERP Integrations

How we approach Oracle Cloud integration projects using modern development practices and why it matters for your business.

By Merutech TeamJanuary 5, 2025

Every Oracle ERP integration project we take on follows the same principles. We've refined our approach over dozens of projects to maximize speed, quality, and maintainability.

Here's how we think about building Oracle integrations.

Modern Frontend Development

We build with component-based architecture using industry-standard frameworks. This gives us:

  • **Server-side rendering** for fast initial loads
  • **API routes** for backend logic without separate servers
  • **Static generation** where it makes sense
  • **Edge deployment** for globally fast responses
  • For Oracle integrations specifically, server-side API routes let us make authenticated calls to Oracle REST APIs while keeping credentials secure - never exposed to the browser.

    Enterprise-Grade UI

    For data-heavy Oracle applications, we use enterprise data grid components that handle:

  • Large datasets with virtual scrolling
  • Sorting, filtering, and grouping
  • Pivot tables and aggregations
  • Excel export for familiar workflows
  • Inline editing when needed
  • The result feels like a desktop application but runs in any browser.

    Cloud-Native Hosting

    We deploy to modern cloud platforms that offer:

  • Deploy from Git push - no manual processes
  • Automatic HTTPS and security
  • Preview deployments for every change
  • Global edge networks for speed
  • No servers to manage or patch
  • Compare this to traditional application servers. The difference in developer productivity and operational overhead is dramatic.

    Oracle Integration Patterns

    We access Oracle Cloud through its REST APIs. Every Fusion module exposes comprehensive APIs:

  • **Financials**: Invoices, payments, journal entries, GL balances
  • **SCM**: Purchase orders, inventory, receiving
  • **HCM**: Employees, assignments, absences
  • **PPM**: Projects, tasks, billing events
  • For complex integrations - workflows that span multiple systems or need guaranteed delivery - we leverage Oracle Integration Cloud (OIC) for orchestration while keeping our application code clean.

    AI-Powered Features

    Modern enterprise applications benefit from AI capabilities:

  • **Natural language interfaces**: Ask questions in plain English
  • **Voice input**: Speak requirements instead of filling forms
  • **Intelligent search**: Find records by meaning, not just keywords
  • **Document analysis**: Extract data from invoices, contracts, receipts
  • **Automated insights**: Surface patterns and anomalies
  • We integrate AI services that enhance user productivity without replacing Oracle as the system of record.

    Background Processing

    Oracle integrations often need scheduled and background jobs:

  • Nightly data synchronization
  • Report generation and distribution
  • Approval workflow reminders
  • SLA monitoring and alerts
  • We use durable execution platforms that handle retries, error recovery, and monitoring automatically.

    Our Guiding Principles

    Three principles guide our technology choices:

  • **Developer velocity**: Modern tooling means faster development and happier teams.
  • **Operational simplicity**: Serverless and managed services mean no infrastructure to maintain.
  • **Oracle respect**: We treat Oracle Cloud as the system of record. We extend it, we don't replace it.
  • The Result

    Every project starts the same way:

  • Provision cloud infrastructure
  • Set up the development environment
  • Configure Oracle API credentials
  • Deploy the initial application
  • First deployment in under an hour. First working feature by end of day.

    That's the power of modern development practices applied to enterprise systems.
