As described in the A-Team article A Universal Cloud Applications Adapter for ODI, it is technically possible to integrate Cloud Applications with ODI.
Cloud Applications Drivers and Adapters
In order to guide you on how ODI can help you to integrate your Cloud Applications, we have compiled the list of SaaS applications and PaaS services that Oracle Data Integrator can connect to as of today.
ODI uses the following specific Drivers or Adapters to connect to Saas applications or Paas services. These allow the connection to SaaS applications or PaaS services, using them as Sources or Targets, to extract or load data. Once connected, those Cloud Applications can be used as any On Premise Application from an ODI point of view.
| Type | Source/Target | Connectivity Option Source/Target |
| SaaS | Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow) | JDBC driver from DataDirect |
| SaaS | Oracle Marketing Cloud (Eloqua) | JDBC driver from DataDirect |
| SaaS | Salesforce.com | Adapter from Bristlecone JDBC driver from DataDirect |
| SaaS | Workday | JDBC driver from DataDirect |
| SaaS | ServiceNow | Adapter from Bristlecone JDBC driver from DataDirect |
| SaaS | FinancialForce.com | JDBC driver from DataDirect |
