Data Warehousing
Oracle’s database is an excellent foundation on which to build a centralised data
store. Along with an industry standard relational database management system, the
Oracle Fusion Middleware family also provides a host of tools, such as Oracle Data Integrator (ODI)
and Oracle Warehouse Builder, that can be used
to manage the integration of data and associated process flows within your implementation.
Business Intelligence Solutions
Oracle delivers Business Intelligence with an extensive suite of solutions - from
a multi-dimensional database to a comprehensive suite of reporting tools - which
we use to deliver analytic applications in an intuitive and easy-to-use interface.
The multi-dimensional database is provided by the leading on-line analytic processing
(OLAP) server - Oracle Essbase (formerly Hyperion
Essbase), while reports and dashboards are delivered by the Oracle Business Intelligence
Enterprise Edition (OBIEE+) platform.
In addition to the enterprise strength reporting provided by the Oracle Answers
and BI Publisher components of OBIEE+ further Oracle Hyperion tools such as Web
Analysis, Interactive Reporting and Financial Reporting exist to provide integrated
analysis for Oracle Hyperion financial applications.
The Oracle Business Intelligence platform is designed to access information from
a wide variety of data sources and platforms.
