IOUG Forum - Collaborate 2015 (April 12-16)

By -
This will be my 12th IOUG Forum next week! I have attended IOUG Forum since 2003, which is prior to 2006 when it morphed into Collaborate with IOUG, OAUG and Quest joining hands. So why do I attend Collaborate every year and look forward to it even after a decade?

The IOUG Forum at Collaborate is the meeting ground for all Oracle users and Technologists. It is one of the best Professional Networking event for Oracle Practitioners. Real world customers are vocal about that worked and what did not (and how they overcame it), in an environment what is free from Oracle Marketing pitches. However, a limited number of invited Oracle Product Manager's and Executives, help to have a healthy dialog and look at the product roadmaps.

Apart from educational sessions, Panel discussions, exhibit hall, there is plenty to network with peers and of course have a bit of fun (in the limited free time) at Vegas. There will be several SIG (Special Interest Meetings) that will provide you means to keep learning and networking year long from your work desk. Check out the IOUG Communities here  Most SIG's will have a SIG meeting at Collaborate, just check the details here

This week is your last chance to be part of Collaborate - IOUG Forum 2015, check out the details here for registration.

Review of Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms - Feb 2012

By -

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
