Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition Plus (OBIEE Plus) is a comprehensive suite of enterprise business intelligence (BI) products that delivers a full range of capabilities on a single unified infrastructure. OBIEE Plus provides complete, relevant insight to everyone in an organisation, not just to analysts. That, in turn, results in better decisions, informed actions, and more-efficient business processes. Information is optimised for the user’s role in the most intuitive manner. The capabilities include interactive dashboards, full ad hoc analysis, proactive intelligence delivery and alerts, enterprise and financial reporting, online analytical processing (OLAP) analysis and presentation, high-volume production reporting, real-time predictive intelligence, disconnected analytics, and integration with Microsoft Office.

OBIEE Plus is designed in such a way that it integrates with an organisation’s existing information technologies infrastructure for the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO). Thus, companies can preserve the value of their existing IT investments and expand their BI capabilities at the same time.

Some of the components of OBIEE Plus are as follows:

Interactive Dashboards. This 100% thin client solution provides fully interactive collections of analytic content with a rich variety of visualisations. Running on a Web-based architecture, the dashboards provide users with information filtered and personalised for their identity, function, or role based on predefined security rules. The rich, interactive user interface makes the presentation of data intuitive, relevant, and easy to understand. In addition, guided navigation and alerts drive the business user to greater insight and action. As a result, users are guided to make informed and effective decisions.

Answers. Providing business users with true ad hoc query and analysis capability, Answers can create new analyses from scratch or modify existing analyses in dashboard pages. To free business users from data structure complexity, the metadata layer of Oracle Business Intelligence Answers offers a logical view of metrics, hierarchies, and calculations expressed in understandable concepts. Business users do not need to understand physical data storage to combine data from multiple enterprise information sources intuitively, quickly, and easily.

Publisher. This component allows the creation of highly formatted templates, reports, and documents such as checks, government forms, and more. It is the most efficient, most scalable reporting solution available for complex and distributed environments. It provides a central architecture for generating and delivering information to employees, customers, and business partners - securely and in the right format. Best of all, users can work with familiar tools such as Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat for report layouts.

Delivers. This powerful alert engine can trigger workflows based on business events and notify stakeholders via their preferred medium and channel. For example, sales representatives can receive a short message service alert on their cell phone.

Plug-in for Microsoft Office. Business intelligence information can be transferred to Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, and Excel documents. Business users can then share these documents with others for collaborative decision-making. Users can work with one version of an Excel spreadsheet instead of with several copies saved on their local machines.

Disconnected Analytics. The full capabilities and intuitive interfaces of the Interactive Dashboards Answers are also available offline. Disconnected Analytics provides full analytical functionality for the mobile professional. Intelligent occurs once a user reconnects to the enterprise network.

As a foundation to OBIEE Plus, the Oracle Business Intelligence Server generates queries, that are optimised for any data source and presents them to the users in a web browser via easy to use dashboards and reports. The Oracle Business Intelligence Server leads to effective data aggregation and minimises the time needed for extracting the required information.

The OBIEE Plus platform supports a full range of options for accessing and analysing business information. The same data is presented to different users within the organisation accounting for their information needs. The results are more effective decisions and enhancement in enterprise performance.
