What is Oracle BI?
Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) is a business suite that is composed of the leading technologies and applications
designed to provide users with the industrys first integrated, end-to-end Enterprise Performance Management System.
This portfolio of business applications comes with integrated features of query, reporting, analysis, alerting, mobile
analytics, data integration and management, and desktop integration. Users also get superior applications for
operational BI, data warehousing, and financial performance management.

Benefits of Oracle BI?

Oracle BI provides businesses with timely and accurate information presented in very detailed and clever ways that
allows users to run their operations smoothly and easily. Highly valuable data derived from meaningful analytics and
delivered quickly allows businesses to create and deploy effective business strategies that would result to the
accomplishment of their business goals.
With Oracle BI, users can:

Consolidate transactional data into meaningful analytics and offer feasibility of exceptions and trends.
Present these data to users in a user-friendly manner.
Gather insightful details even from non-Oracle sources such as Excel spreadsheet and CSV applications.
Combine back office and operational data and provide comparison to external benchmarks.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What is Oracle BI? Is it ERP or any other tool?

Oracle BI is not an ERP system; it's the Business Intelligence (BI) solution that Oracle provides enterprises with.
The following introduces BI tools and Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) as solutions which purpose is
demonstrated to be different from an ERP.
==== What ERP is all about? ====
An Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software is an operational system responsible for unifying, rationalizing, and
managing the information system enterprise-wide, including processes relatedbut not limitedto manufacturing, inventory,
supply chain, purchasing (or procurement) and spending, sales, customer relationship, accounting, financials, human
resources (HR), quality.

=== What BI is all about? ====

Business intelligence helps companies take a step back by "merely" analyzing their operations, which they usually manage
with an ERP system.
Oracle BIlike any other BI suitecomprises BI tools and Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) software.
----- About BI tools ----BI tools were at the beginning of the BI concept. They turn data into information dashboards and reports through calculation,
aggregation, and extrapolation (i.e., forecast)but with only a pinch of intelligence, if any. BI tools rely on heavy hardware
equipment (i.e., datawarehousing) to be able to crunch massive amounts of data. Simply put, BI tools are merely tools to
generate reports and dashboards.
----- Beyond mere statistics ----Then business realized that generating reports (however complex) and contemplating dashboards was not sufficientthey
needed to go beyond mere statistics by connecting analytics to their business processes to give them meaning within a
business context and come up with down-to-Earth action plans.
So the concept of Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) was born as a natural evolution of BI.
----- About Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) ----An EPM solution thus puts information reporting in the context of operational and financial datawhile still relying on BI tools
for the plumbing. This way, EPM allows management to go away from reading reports and contemplating dashboards to
translating computed data into actionable strategies, and then executable plans.
=== Note: About the acquisition of Hyperion by Oracle ===
1. Oracle acquired Hyperion in 2007 to extend its BI offeringwhich was limited to BI toolsto a full EPM solution.
2. Oracle used Hyperion as a Trojan horse because it gave them access to a significant base of SAP customers which had
already widely adopted Hyperion as their BI solution of choice.
3. The acquisition allowed Oracle to open its BI offering to other environments than Oracle's proprietary platformwidening
its reach to new potential customers not willing to change their environment for the sake of acquiring a BI solution.

=== Acquisitions by big players for their BI offering ===

ProClarity, by Microsoft in 2006

Hyperion, by Oracle in 2007
BusinessObjects (BO), by SAP in 2007
Cognos, by IBM in 2008

What is Oracle BI Applications? (Part 1)

Oracle BI apps is the main business intelligence solution from Oracle. It follows the typical data warehouse
architecture. The solution consists of the data warehouse, the pre-packaged dashboard and reports, and the adapters
to various OLTP.
Oracle BI apps is built on top of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) and is packaged together with
OBIEE. OBIEE is considered as the platform for Oracle BI apps. If you are building your own BI metric, reports, and
dashboard, you can use OBIEE alone. If you do not want to start from scratch, you can consider Oracle BI Apps. If you
are happy with the pre-built content and the warehouse schema, you do not need to do any custom development but
just deploy the pre-built solution.
Oracle BI Apps provides the data warehouse schema. If you are familiar with the data warehouse terms, OBIEE and
Oracle BI apps is actually a ROLAP, a relational online analytics process architecture. It provides the star schema
following the multi-dimensional modeling as defined by the industry gurus, such as Ralph Kimbal. The data warehouse
can be deployed in a separate database from your OLTP database. Although BI applications is from Oracle, the
database for Oracle BI apps does not have to be a Oracle database. You can use Oracle, DB2, MS SQL, or Teradata.
The data warehouse schema is designed independently from OLTP. It has its own concepts and definitions. However,
the schema is evolving several times in the past years before the product is acquired by Oracle. It is influenced by SAP,
Siebel, Oracle E-Business Suite, and now PoepleSoft as well.
