I'm with Progress, the folks behind DataDirect Cloud that you mentioned. One of our earliest successes with Lightning Connect has been integrating Siebel data residing on Oracle. The customer has 5,500 users live using this today. Hope to have a public success story soon. You can sign up for a fully-functional free 30-day eval and test out connecting to your Siebel environment. We even take care of getting through the firewall.

No changes are required at the database level - the Oracle system simply sees SQL queries. DataDirect Cloud reformats the data dynamically into OData v2 when accessed from Salesforce and Lightning Connect.
