Business intelligence tools
Oracle data warehouses are often accessed using business intelligence tools from
other popular vendors. However, Oracle??™s own tools became more common for such
deployment as Oracle grew its offerings through acquisitions. Oracle??™s initial offering
included Oracle Discoverer and Reports, and these tools remain available in the
Application Server or as a standalone Oracle Business Intelligence Standard Edition
Suite.
Oracle??™s flagship product in this area is Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition
Suite (OBI EE) originally consisting of former Siebel Analytics, including Oracle
Answers, Dashboards, Delivers, BI Publisher, and Office Plug-ins. Oracle expanded
this offering in OBI EE Plus adding Hyperion components that include Foundation
Services, Interactive Reporting, SQR production reporting, Financial Reporting,
SmartView for Office, and Web Analysis.
Essbase is available as an option for providing an OLAP cube and functionality independently
of the data warehouse database. A subset OBI EE is included in Business
Intelligence Standard Edition One, along with the Oracle Standard Edition One database
and Oracle Warehouse Builder.
