Fulfilling real time analytics on obi apps platformShiv Bharti
Analytics users have always had the desire to get “real-time” data. There are certain business scenarios where the ability to do real-time analysis can positively impact different areas of our Business – from increased revenue to a greater customer satisfaction.
Most of the Oracle BI Application deployments my team and I have been a part of, have always had some Real-Time components. There are a number of design approaches to extend the Oracle BI applications foundation in order to fulfill these requirements.
In this session, I would like to share a proven design approach to leverage Oracle BI Apps architecture and fulfill both Analytical as well as Real-time reporting need. We will also talk about a successful BI roadmap and reports migration strategy to build high performance driven and scalable enterprise reporting platform.

Customers increasingly expect to engage with brands through self-service channels and not with tedious and frustrating traditional call centers that use IVR. They want the convenience and timely, streamlined interactions that a virtual agent offers.
More than 50% of enterprises have invested in virtual agents for customer service, and it’s estimated that by 2020 approximately 85% will manage the customer relationship with no human interaction at all.
But not all virtual agents are created equal. IBM Watson harnesses the power of natural language processing, machine learning, and cognitive computing to deliver an exceptional virtual agent experience.
Perficient and IBM took a closer look at intelligent virtual agents, including:
-The benefits of intelligent virtual agents
-Considerations when selecting a virtual agent

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.

The Secret to Acquiring and Retaining Customers in Financial ServicesPerficient, Inc.
Data, when leveraged effectively, can help you segment and target customers, analyze spending habits, and can create a personalized experience that builds value and customer loyalty.
Without a 360-degree view of your customers, you can’t properly target them with real-time personalized offers, advice, and other services. In addition, lack of customer intelligence creates lost opportunities for banks and insurers to cross-sell and upsell new products and services.
Our one-hour webinar covered how customer intelligence platforms can help you engage, acquire, and retain customers.

Using AI, Cortex creates a knowledge network based on relationships among topics, content, and people and delivers it in the apps you use every day – Office, Outlook, and Teams.
This webinar examined Project Cortex in more detail, including:
• What is Project Cortex?
• Why is Project Cortex different than other knowledge network projects previously introduced?
• How does incorporating AI and automation change the game?
• What is possible with Project Cortex?
• What can you do to prepare?

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
