Designed for use by anyone Provides intelligence across virtually any data source Based on a proven, modern, web Services-Oriented Architecture Delivers next-generation business intelligence capabilities
Oracle BI Enterprise Edition Enables Consistency, Security, Reuse, Flexibility Presentation Layer • User roles, preferences • Simplified view • Logical SQL interface Semantic Object Layer • Dimensions • Hierarchies • Measures • Calculations • Aggregation Rules • Time Series Physical Layer • Map Physical Data • Connections • Schema Multi-layered Abstraction Separation of physical, logical and presentation layers Logical modeling builds upon complex physical data structures Logical model independent of physical data sources, i. e. can be remapped to another data source quickly
Oracle BI Enterprise Edition Enables Consistency, Security, Reuse, Flexibility Presentation Layer • User roles, preferences • Simplified view • Logical SQL interface Semantic Object Layer • Dimensions • Hierarchies • Measures • Calculations • Aggregation Rules • Time Series Physical Layer • Map Physical Data • Connections • Schema Role-based views of the information Consistent definition of business measures, metrics, calculations Model once, deploy anywhere Across any data source!!!
Oracle BI Enterprise Edition BI Answers Ad-hoc information exploration Multi-dimensional analysis Works against a logical view of information from multiple data sources in a pure web environment. Easy dashboard and notification creation BI Interactive Dashboard Rich, interactive pure web dashboards Personalized interactive dashboards Guided analytics BI Delivers Alerting engine to capture and distribute notifications via multiple channels in response to pre-defined business events to speed decision making Automated analytic workflows and processes Manage delivery to mobile devices BI Briefing Books Capture a snapshot of an Oracle Dashboard allowing the information to be viewed offline presentation style.
Oracle BI Enterprise Edition BI Disconnected Analytics Provide Answers and Dashboards to users on computers disconnected from the network. BI Office Plug-ins Synchronize information from Answers, Dashboards and Reports to Microsoft Word, Excel and Power. Point. BI Publisher Scalable reporting tool to generate reports from multiple data sources (delivered as XML) in multiple document formats and to multiple delivery channels.
Oracle BI Enterprise Edition BI Server Highly scalable, highly efficient query and analysis server Efficiently integrates data from multiple relational, unstructured, OLAP and prepackaged application sources, Oracle and non-Oracle Also incorporates calculations, multiple languages, and complex hierarchies in a single piece of metadata which is both aggregate and fragment aware Enables ease of use for business users while reducing IT involvement. Streamlined server deployment, Unified security Single web-based administration Data Federation and caching are including as part of the core platform
In Review - Platforms Description Standard Edition Enterprise Edition Platform Oracle Centric. Separation of: End User BI Tools Business Metadata Data Source Heterogeneity Oracle Centric – effort required to integrate non-Oracle data sources. (Still Oracle DB Centric for Query Submission) Enterprise BI Platform; Source Independent (Oracle and Non-Oracle) Intelligently Combine Data - Multiple DW(s), OLAP, and Apps - Historical and Real Time Disconnected /Off. Line No Yes MS Office Integration Excel, Word, Power. Point Report Distribution Limited Alerting, Report Distribution, and Workflow Support “BI Delivers” – full support for scheduling and distributing reports Development Integration Limited support of open APIs and Integration Advanced Web Services Integration Capabilities (SOA/BPEL)

Delivering Value – a Real World Example CLIENT PROFILE Global solutions provider of computer products and services that guarantee continuously available processing for applications PAIN POINTS Impossible to create a 360 view of customers for analysis Single reports from Oracle unable to meet the business need INDUSTRY Hi-Tech / Communications Extensive use of Excel to merge data from multiple sources and present information SIZE $ 250 M Revenue ~1, 000 Employees As data increased, uncertainty of data validity and “True Source” of data also increased ORACLE FOOTPRINT Since late-1990’s, Oracle EBusiness 10. 7 Abstracting reporting metrics from the underlying transactional data
Delivering Value – a Real World Example SOLUTION FOOTPRINT Built a financial data mart Secured end user access to a GUI front-end for easy access to standard reports and ad hoc reporting capabilities Oracle BI components: – Oracle Warehouse Builder (ETL) – Oracle BI Server – Oracle BI Answers – Oracle BI Dashboards WHY OBI? Reporting capabilities met or exceeded all requirement’s Group sharing by end-user Ease of creating Dashboards Leveraged existing Oracle skill sets Future leveraging of Oracle 11 i and Business Process Management Single Vendor Competitive Pricing
Delivering Value – a Real World Example KEY DIFFERENTIATORS Immediate comparison of Actual vs. Forecast data in a single report – Old method: Several Business Object/Excel iterations spanning hours. Immediate fiscal year trend analysis – Old method: 10+ hour query processing Users have easy to navigate front-end (BI Answers) and easy to understand presentation model of the data mart (via BI Server). Confidence in the integrity of report data IT control of end user access to data through BI Server ETL programs easily maintainable through the OWB interface.
