 The Analytics and Data Summit took place at Oracle Conference Center at Redwood City, CA from March 14-16. This in-person event restarted after a gap of 3 years. This event is organized by Analytics and Data Oracle User Community (AnDOUC). This event used to be called BIWA Summit and started in 2007, the first one was in the Oracle office at Reston, VA. It outgrew the size of the facility and moved to then Oracle HQ, at Redwood Shores in 2008. This year's Analytics and Data Summit, was spread over 3 days, with mainly the Hands on Labs and Product Manager feedback sessions on the 3rd day. This year the top level sponsors were Rittman Mead and Informatica. The event started on Tue with a Keynote titled "Gut Check - The True Value of Becoming a Data  Driven Organization" by Derek Hayden of OUTFRONT Media. Over the course of the event there were several sessions by presenters from companies like Siemens, Oracle and others. I was part of the opening Panel on Day 2. This Pane...

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.

I have heard of QlikView when Oracle talks o...

The Business Case for Social Networks

By -
It has been a while since I blogged, BIWA hosted a webcast on Data Mining by Charlie Berger and is ready for another one tomorrow on Oracle database 11g optimizer by Maria Colgan . Her talks are generally "sold out." In my opinion her topic is not mainstream BI, yet something that all BIDW professionals need to know to drive performance out of the Oracle DB based data warehouses. We have a few more talks lined up such as Oracle OLAP at Gallup: A Scalable Unified Approach to BI Reporting by the Gallup folks and then mine on OBIEE Analytics/Reporting Solutions for E-Business Suite Now that my Blogger status for Oracle Openworld 2009, registration is approved, I am "licensed to blog." :) You might have observed that the title of this section is " The Business Case for Social Networks " yet I start talking about BIWA Techcasts. Well, I want to build the business case implicitly and not explicitly. You can note that today almost all the BI experts quote...
