19.1 About Oracle Document Cloud Service

Oracle Document Cloud Service is a cloud-based content collaboration solution, built with robust security, application integration. If Oracle Documents Cloud Service is integrated with Oracle WebCenter Portal, you can add, view, and share your documents and also collaborate with others in Oracle Document Cloud Service for secure access to content using a cloud interface.

In case the external non-WebCenter Portal users want to share documents with WebCenter Portal users, they can share documents using Oracle Document Cloud Service, and then those documents can be accessed from within WebCenter Portal.

For example, suppose marketing assets created by design agencies and some partner information need to be shared with WebCenter Portal users. However, the marketing agencies and partners have Oracle Document Cloud Service accounts but not WebCenter Portal accounts. If marketing assets and partner documents are shared on Oracle Document Cloud Service, WebCenter Portal users can access the documents from within WebCenter Portal by using the Oracle DOCS Content Manager task flow.

Figure 19-1 shows an example of an Oracle Document Cloud Service view on a page in WebCenter Portal.
