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.

Data Discovery and BI - Is there Really a Difference?Inside Analysis
The Briefing Room with John O'Brien and Birst
Live Webcast Dec. 3, 2013
Watch the archive: https://bloorgroup.webex.com/bloorgroup/lsr.php?AT=pb&SP=EC&rID=7869542&rKey=1f6574abc879ca42
While the disciplines of business intelligence and discovery certainly overlap, there are key distinctions between the two, both in terms of design point and user interface. While traditionally it is believed different architectures are required to address these differing analytic needs, is that really the case? Or is discovery simply another key capability within an overall BI platform?
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to learn from veteran Analyst John O'Brien of Radiant Advisors as he outlines best practices for enabling high-quality business intelligence and discovery, and the architectural capabilities to enable both. He'll be briefed by Brad Peters of Birst who will tout his company's cloud BI platform. In particular, Peters will demonstrate how the Birst architecture was especially designed for enterprise-caliber BI and argue for a more inclusive future BI architecture.

It covers the myriad of disparate and highly specialized data sources needed to support loading detailed operational data on a daily basis. It studies the various methodologies used to streamline data integration and enrich the data load cycle.
Additionally, EDMCS and cloud data management were leveraged to reduce duplicate master data maintenance while sharing key findings about this exciting new cloud service.
FDMEE versus Cloud Data Management - The Real StoryJoseph Alaimo Jr
Are you considering or have you recently purchased an Oracle EPM Cloud Service? If so, you've likely heard about Cloud Data Management and how it can satisfy all of your data and master data needs. Sounds like Nirvana, right? Not so fast.
This presentation explores the capabilities of Cloud Data Management and its supporting technologies as well as its on-premises counterpart, FDMEE. It weighs the pros and cons of each option, including software and hardware costs, functionality, and sustainability.
Essbase’s “Best in Class” calculation engine enables Essbase and Planning to satisfy a vast array of planning and analysis needs. Whether it’s on-premise, in PBCS custom databases, or in the EPBCS business processes, creating custom logic that meets any analytical need will generate enormous value for your organization. But to take advantage of that power and avoid costly mistakes, you must thoroughly understand what you’re working with.
The Visual Approach to Essbase calculations was developed and refined over 20 years of Essbase and Planning projects with thousands of hours of training. Now, it’s been updated for the cloud and Hybrid Aggregation. The Visual Approach uses many diagrams and visualizations to walk through exactly how Essbase thinks, starting with a thorough explanation of dimensionality, the Essbase calc cycle, global calculation, and controlling calculation scope. It demystifies sparse and dense, showing how to make the block your friend in order to make your calculations (and other Essbase/Planning operations) quickly. Finally, it explains a handful of the most important commands and functions.
This presentation is for power users, admins, and developers who are either new to Essbase and Planning calculations or need to improve their calculation skills. It provides a thorough understanding of the concepts governing Essbase calculations and the core set of commands and functions that are used in virtually every calc script and business rule. It gives you the confidence to tackle new calculation challenges and write better, faster, and more powerful business rules.
Why Should I Care About DVD? Blu-Ray is the New Thing, Right?Joseph Alaimo Jr

Integrated Planning Using Enterprise Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service at ...Joseph Alaimo Jr
Presentation to demonstrate how a world leader in metal, electronics, and curbside recycling, implemented the Oracle Enterprise Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (EPBCS) application to satisfy their forecasting and budgeting needs. The solution uses a Hybrid architecture, in which on-premises Financial Data Management Enterprise Edition (FDMEE) is used for data integration, for loading from source systems to EPBCS, and to integrate post forecast data with on-premises Hyperion Financial Management (HFM).
Predictive Planning is an element of Oracle EPM's focus on Intelligent Performance Management, which is automating as much as possible in order to free up humans to do the real thinking. Predictive Planning is advanced statistical forecasting made easy and tightly integrated into EPBCS. It includes methods such as linear regression, exponential smoothing, and seasonality. For each forecast, it tests many different techniques and creates a forecast using the best one. You might use the results as your primary forecast, you might use them as your forecast seed, or you might use them to compare to and validate human-made forecasts. You don’t need a PhD in statistics. In fact, it’s a good way to learn more about statistical forecasting techniques (aka data science).
So how exactly does it work, and how can you use it to improve your forecasts? This presentation provides a quick overview of the statistical techniques and error measures. It identifies some potential use cases from finance, sales, and HR. Finally, it digs into some examples of how to set up and implement the cube. This presentation is intended for EPBCS admins and developers, as well as Finance, Sales, and HR planners who want to improve their forecasting and analytics.

Come for a breakfast treat, take home a few souvenirs, and reminisce with like-minded peers regarding the amazing Essbase!
Oracle’s Supplemental Data Manager (SDM) module is designed to capture supplemental information in a structured process. A presentation on how UHS was able to replace a long list of Excel-based schedules with SDM and automate the data population to make the process more efficient. UHS was able to accommodate schedules used both at the beginning of the close process in order to formulate and validate accruals as well as at the end of the close process for reporting purposes.
True Power of Oracle's Enterprise Planning Suite Unleashed at POETJoseph Alaimo Jr
POET, a leading biofuel company specializing in the production of ethanol and ethanol co-products, needed a platform to support its performance management initiatives and ultimately the company mission, which required generating fully integrated income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow projections over a five-year planning horizon. It needed a system that could provide short-term detailed operational budgeting capabilities for various aspects of the business (i.e. SG&A, capital planning, project planning) while also delivering a flexible solution to allow for higher level long-range planning.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

The Mandate for Business Analytics
IDC predicts that by 2020, organizations
able to analyze all relevant data and deliver
actionable information will achieve an extra
$430 billion in productivity benefits over their
less analytically oriented peers.
Information is the new asset. Entire business
models are being disrupted as a result. Consider:
• The taxi company Uber owns no cars.
• The media owner Facebook creates no content.
• The hospitality provider AirBnB owns no rooms.
A number of factors, including changes in
employee/customer behavior, explosion in data
sourcing & creation rates, & technology
improvements have created an environment
where analytics can be transformational.

Essbase Cloud - Power User Analytics
• 20+ Years of Essbase History
– Early On, Essbase was a FINANCE tool, not an IT Tool
– Early Consultants came out of finance, and did reporting &
wrote calculations. Excel experts became Essbase experts.
– Along the way, IT departments invested in Essbase as part of
broader BI initiatives - suddenly Essbase became an IT Tool.
– Essbase Training classes were one of the only places you
could see Finance & IT sitting together
• On-Premise Challenges
– As Essbase became the “engine” behind EPM, deployments
became more complex, and IT had to manage the
environments
– Risk Management & Controls prevented Finance from “spinning
up cubes” whenever they wanted
– Essbase deployments dwindled to what IT budgets could afford
Core Reporting, Planning, & Profitability Analysis
– Custom Use Cases & Analytics for smaller user subsets
became difficult to fund, and difficult to manage
• Essbase Cloud – Power User Custom Analytics
– OAC provides new features such as sandboxing & auto cube
deployment making it easier for finance to work with
– IT can manage centralized deployments, giving business users
the power to control “sandbox” & custom analytics
– If you can do it in a pivot table, you can do it in OAC
“I Don’t always use
Excel Pivot Tables,
but when I do, I
always make sure
to use Oracle
Analytic Cloud”.
