Collaborate 2009 is here!

By -
Arrived at Orlando today... to get situated before the event starts... The attendees can expect a "warm welcome"  as it will be 68-90F for the next few days...

However, almost all hotels have pools and the shuttle from the conference hotel starts early, so one can easily avoid the hot day outside...unless you are from the Sunshine state like myself where 90F is the norm...

Main activites start tomorrow for BIWA SIG...
BI Panel will have a few BI experts such as Mark Rittman, Martin Carangelo,Dan Vlamis, Charlie Berger and Michael Schrader  and the mightly Ian Abramson moderating it... so do not miss it

Sunday,  May 3 
6:00 pm – 7:30 pm:  SIG Reception - come by the BIWA SIG table and chat with your Colleagues and Oracle PM's

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 o...

Oracle Openworld Sep 22-26, 2013 is (almost here)

By -
Oracle Openworld Sep 22-26, 2013 is almost here!  This is an event I have been attending since 2003 and have been lucky enough to be a speaker in an average of 1+ session every year. While the event has grown in size, mainly due to Oracle acquisitions, it has remained by far the largest professional event I have ever attended. My guess for this year is close to a total of 50,000 attendees spread between the Openworld, JavaOne, MySQL Connect, Customer Experience and HCM events.. The line of keynotes for Oracle Openworld 2013 is quite interesting, with Larry Ellison speaking on Sunday and Tuesday, historically his Wed afternoon keynote used to be the biggest one where in past he has announced Exadata and other big products. In recent years though, I noticed, he started announcing the new major products on Sunday evening and this allowed the attendees to learn about it during the event and not wait for Oracle to publicly unveil the products only on Wed afternoon. My favorite keyn...
