Oracle Enhances Comprehensive and Integrated Data and Analytics Services to Empower Business Users

By AIT News Desk On Oct 18, 2022

To help customers make faster, better decisions, Oracle announced a series of new product innovations across its comprehensive portfolio of data and analytics solutions. With the new capabilities in Oracle Fusion Analytics across CX, ERP, HCM, and SCM analytics, decision-makers now have a prebuilt library of more than 2,000 best-practice KPIs, dashboards, and reports to monitor performance against strategic goals. The latest innovations in Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) are designed to improve the productivity of business users by minimizing their reliance on IT, while still benefiting from curated data assets created by IT, such as the centralized semantic model. New advanced composite visualizations make it easier to interpret data, and AI/ML enhancements extend the ML capabilities in Analytics Cloud with other Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cognitive services like AI Vision to enable processing of visual information.

“To help our customers find new paths to increase revenues and efficiencies, we continue to expand our data analytics capabilities,” said T.K. Anand, executive vice president, Oracle Analytics. “We are committed to better decision intelligence and are working closely with our customers to help them scale their ability to analyze massive amounts of data for insights, gain additional context around business decisions, and review the impacts that decisions will have across their organizations.”

“With its latest analytics announcement, Oracle has delivered new capabilities across its Fusion CX, ERP, HCM and SCM business applications that bring greater value to organizations worldwide,” said Holger Mueller, vice president and principal analyst, Constellation Research. “This provides decision-makers with a library of more than 2,000 best-practice KPIs, metrics, and dashboards for monitoring performance against strategic goals. Oracle is the only cloud application vendor that offers its analytics portfolio also on-premises, through a centrally managed service for those customers who need to run analytics on-premises, with Oracle Dedicated Region.”

Oracle Analytics Cloud innovates across the complete data and analytics workflow

Semantic modeler democratizes access to the central curated semantic model, which acts as a presentation layer that masks the complexity of the physical data sources from business users. The virtualization is created using a web-based tool that includes advanced capabilities for multi-user development, version control, and CI/CD processes. The JSON-based Semantic Modeling Markup Language provides flexible methods for editing and updating the semantic model either manually or programmatically.
Advanced composite visualizations help customers organize content and improve understanding of patterns and signals in data. Users can easily add metrics onto other charts, which reduces the number of individual visualizations and increases information density of the dashboard without making it busier or cluttered.
Proactive automated insights help customers improve productivity through an easy-to-use, one-click capability that provides unbiased, automated recommendations for visualizations based on Oracle Analytics Cloud’s analysis of datasets and metrics.
AI/ML enhancements extend the ML functionality in Oracle Analytics Cloud with other OCI cognitive services. For example, Oracle Analytics Cloud users can now analyze image-based content from OCI Vision in a familiar, easy-to-read dashboard. Administrators can now register OCI cognitive services’ functions directly in Oracle Analytics Cloud so users can execute them in their data flows without coding.

Additional new capabilities across Oracle data and analytics services
