Kaleidoscope (ODTUG) 2010 Kickoff!

By -
The venue is DC this year...for the 2010 Kaleidoscope - the annual ODTUG event. Check out the detailed agenda here.

I picked up registration on Saturday which was right after the US- Ghana soccer game... and guess what the speaker gift this year is a soccer jersey that says on the back "ODTUG 10"

Sunday is always the day of the Symposium and I have attended the last two years the EPM session so that is where I will be most of Sunday. Looking forward to Robert Gersten's session that is the second one...

Well it so happens that Robert Gersten could not make it, so Al Marciante did that part as well. Incidentally, organizers requested no blogging of the content from today as that can put PM's in a spot if some of the shown features are not actually released, so I am going to honor that and will only write about not feature related items, unless the feature is already out.

The soccer fever has really caught on the the Brits are in the pub watching the UK game, folks like Debra Liley, Mark Rittman etc..so far the first two days (Sat and Sun) have lead to exit of US and UK from the world cup...

I detoured from the EPM Symposium to attend Cahrlie Berger's talk on Oracle Data Mining on Exadata Platform....good to learn about ability to convert SAS models to ODM models now...

The afternoon session includes Hyperion Planning Applications, Essbase and OBIEE by Mike Duran from UK, who I met during the lunch...right now Shankar Vishanathan, one of the Product Managers for Planning is presenting the talk. He mentioned that HAL support ends in June 2010. FDM, ODI and flat file centric will take this place for moving data.

The next talk is by Aneel Shankar for Essbase.

Gartner spends a lot of time reviewing the major Business Intelligence platform vendors and talking to the users of BI to come up with the updates in the Magic Quadrant. Here is the latest one released in Feb 2012. As you can see the notables in the Leaders Quadrant are Oracle taking the top stop in ability to execute with OBIEE and BI Applications (OBIA)  and IBM establishing itself as the visionary with Cognos and related offerings. Look at my similar posting from Jan 2010 here (  http://oraclebiwasig.blogspot.com/2010/01/gartner-2010-magic-quadrant-for.html  )  The BI Platform leaders in Jan 2010 were Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, SAS, Microstrategy, SAP (Business Objects) and Information Builders. Compared to 2010, now QlikTech has entered the leaders quadrant. Gartner quotes "QlikTech is a marketing juggernaut; it has brand recognition many times more prominent than a firm with its current market share would expect." I have heard of QlikView when Oracle talks of visuali

Down the Memory Lane - BIWA SIG to BIWA Users Community to Analytics & Data Summit 2018

By -

Let us go down the memory lane, it all started in 2006, soon after Oracle acquired Siebel . While Siebel was well known for CRM, the Siebel Analytics helped to get Oracle on the BI map. Mid-2006, was a good time to start a Special Interest Group (SIG) with focus on Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence. Same year Oracle acquired Synopsis    (Oct 2006) and then Hyperion in 2007.  The Technology-centric User Group - IOUG  facilitated the start of the DWBI SIG. DBBI SIG's first public appearance was in NYOUG 's summer and fall events in New York. Then this SIG was invited to present a session at Oracle Openworld 2006, in the Sunday User Group Day. After Oracle Openworld, Charlie Berger joined hands with this SIG, and brought along his rich experiences from the Life Science Group called OLSUG . This was the time the SIG realized that its name needed to reflect Advanced Analytics (AA) so the new name BI + DW + AA condensed to BIWA SIGwas adopted and hence the url www.OracleB
