Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition
Why OBIEE?

• Consider Oracle Business Intelligence EE if reporting solutions

you own today are:
• Siloed – information access is decentralized; manual processes are
needed to integrate, aggregate, and analyze

• Fragmented – distributed across myriad systems

• Inconsistent – data quality, data ownership, refresh rates, terms

• Report-centric – embedded business logic affects reconciliation

• R t i t d – security

OBIA Deployment Considerations

• Recommend initial out-of-box solution as a POC

• Followed closely by a comprehensive gap analysis

• Business requirements vs. delivered content
• Determine and p prioritize necessary
y extensions
• Identify the data sources and mappings

• Then customization, if necessary, following an

iterative (Agile) approach
• DW columns, tables based on source system
implementation and HR requirements
• ETL mappings
• Dashboards / Reports
Preparing for an OBIA Implementation

• Tasks performed before consultants arrive

• Review documentation (including content guides)

• On Oracle Technology Network:
• http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E20490_01/nav/portal_2.htm
• Through Oracle Support:
• Note 1318707.1

• Gather source system information

• Through SQL queries and/or Setup documents
• Both common and source-specific setup information

• Determine security model (can use existing or newly created LDAP

roles/responsibilities, or use native users and roles)
Critical Success Factors

• Organization
• Agreement on BI Architecture, Vision across the enterprise (Executive-level)
• Understanding that BI is an evolving, growing process
• Set measurements up front to quantify success throughout the project
