Drive Insight From Unstructured Data With EndecaKPI Partners
Supporting slide deck. The entire recording is available at: http://www.kpipartners.com/webinar-Drive-Insight-From-Unstructured-Data-With-Endeca
Abstract:
There is significant growth of unstructured data being created by consumers and businesses alike, however unstructured forms of data that can be found in sources such as email, social networks and even health records can make it more difficult to organize, manage and analyze the data.
As a result, this has created a need for companies to seek a solution to explore and analyze both structured and unstructured data.
What is Unstructured Data?
Unstructured data has no pre-defined data model and/or does not fit well into relational tables. Typically, there is no identifiable structure – it is text-heavy and generally in free form text. A few examples of this type of data are email, documents, presentations, web content and social media. Due to the explosion and proliferation of the internet and social media, unstructured data is growing exponentially – and companies are looking for better ways to manage this data.
Join experts from Oracle and KPI Partners for this virtual event that will help us all understand how there can be joint analysis complex structured and unstructured data. Our panelists will explore:
Common challenges with structured & unstructured data

Migrating FSG Reports To Oracle BI ApplicationsKPI Partners
http://www.kpipartners.com/webinar-FSG-Reporting-for-Oracle-BI-Applications : FSG is a report-building tool for Oracle E-Business Suite used for creating financial statements such as the income statement, trial balance, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. FSG reports typically are complex to build, difficult to maintain, and do not provide the modern analytical capabilities that exist with the Oracle Business Intelligence platform.
Watch this on-demand recording to see how the innovators at KPI Partners have extended the Oracle BI Applications to support Oracle E-Business Suite FSG Reports. Kumar Krishnaswamy and Pavan Nanjundaiah will show how your organization can simplify the generation of financial reports through enabling FSG Reporting on the Oracle Business Intelligence platform. The team explores:

The BI Apps from Oracle present customers with a nice head start to getting their BI environment up and running. But for many customers, their user community demands lighting-fast speeds while running dashboards, reports and ad-hoc queries. Learn about some of the key techniques you can use to take the BI Apps to performance levels you didn’t think were possible.
The discussion begins with a conceptual understanding of why performance problems can exist and the counteracting design considerations. Special attention will be paid to the concept of a Performance Layer, describing what it is, what it is comprised of and how to build it. The presentation includes several real world examples of the significant performance gains that can be had from a Performance Layer.
Objective 1: Learn about the concept of a performance layer and what is involved with building one.

Wallchart - Data Warehouse Documentation RoadmapDavid Walker
All projects need documentation and many companies provide templates as part of a methodology. This document describes the templates, tools and source documents used by Data Management & Warehousing. It serves two purposes:
• For projects using other methodologies or creating their own set of documents to use as a checklist. This allows the project to ensure that the documentation covers the essential areas for describing the data warehouse.
• To demonstrate our approach to our clients by describing the templates and deliverables that are produced.
Documentation, methodologies and templates are inherently both incomplete and flexible. Projects may wish to add, change, remove or ignore any part of any document. Some may also believe that aspects of one document would sit better in another. If this is the case then users of this document and these templates are encouraged to change them to fit their needs.
Data Management & Warehousing believes that the approach or methodology for building a data warehouse should be to use a series of guides and checklists. This ensures that small teams of relatively skilled resources developing the system can cover all aspects of the project whilst being free to deal with the specific issues of their environment to deliver exceptional solutions, rather than a rigid methodology that ensures that large teams of relatively unskilled staff can meet a minimum standard.

Product Analysis Oracle BI Applications IntroductionAcevedoApps
Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) Applications are complete, prebuilt BI solutions that deliver intuitive, role-based intelligence for everyone in an organization—from front line employees to senior management—that enable better decisions, actions, and business processes. Designed for both “single source” and heterogeneous environments, these solutions enable organizations to gain insight from a range of data sources and applications including Siebel, Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft Enterprise, JD Edwards, and third party systems such as SAP.
Using obi apps to consolidate data for taleo, salesforce and net suite apps_pptShiv Bharti
With an increase in the adoption of cloud applications by large corporations, most organizations today are in some form of hybrid state i.e. they are using a combination of both on-premise as well as cloud applications to run their business.
Regardless of where the applications maintain their data, organizations need the ability to see a complete view of the company spanning across different parts of the business, which in this case would be combining insightful data across on-premise as well as public cloud instances.
To take some examples:
->Combining HR and Financials data to analyze Revenue per employee
->Combining Sales and Financials data to create customer Scorecards
->Combining Sales and Order Management data to improve your demand planning system
->Combining your Sales and Financials Data for Forecasting
In this article, I would like to present multiple design approaches that other organizations have successfully used to consolidate data from multiple cloud and on-premise applications and to perform seamless analytics across these varied data sources.
If you are attending Collaborate15 (#C15LV), please join me to discuss this topic and case studies of what other organizations are doing to address this challenge.
