OHIP is Oracle’s integration platform for OPERA Cloud and other hospitality cloud products, exposing REST APIs through a developer portal and pushing business events. If the hotel runs OPERA Cloud, evaluate OHIP first.
Choosing between interfaces
| Use case | OPERA 5 on-premise | OPERA Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Locks, room control, PBX | IFC8 FIAS | IFC8 FIAS, or the vendor’s OHIP integration |
| POS posting | IFC8 XML POS | IFC8 XML POS or OHIP |
| Reservations, profiles, rates | OXI | OHIP |
| Kiosk, apps | OWS / OEDS | OHIP |
OHIP usage involves Oracle subscriptions and partner programmes; confirm with the hotel that it is enabled before the project starts.
