Oracle BIWA User Community

The Oracle Openworld 2012 is here... Sunday is dedicated to the User Groups. Moscone W is full of User Group / SIG driven sessions. These help to provide a user perspective to the Oracle stack and is a great place to network with the Oracle User Group Leaders...and of course all the active User Group members. My session is at 2:15 PM on Sunday at Moscone W L2 (Rm 2020). My focus is Oracle BI Applications - a Deep Dive... I plan to cover about Advanced Analytics as well as BI Apps and Advanced Analytics comes together. Look forward to the Keynote today evening... let us see what is announced today v/s what is held back for Wed keynotes...
