From Essbase-driven speed in multi-dimensional analysis to SmartView’s seamless MS Office integration, this guide shows how Oracle is transforming data into actionable intelligence.

At Quest’s BLUEPRINT 4D, Marcel Esqueu, VP of Financial System Transformation and Financial Close for The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, shared his team’s experience transitioning from PeopleSoft to Oracle Cloud.

Guardian has provided mutual life insurance to customers for over 150 years and currently serves 39 million customers throughout the U.S. With a rich history of success and millions of customers relying on its services, company leaders are committed to evolving the tech stack as better technology comes available.

Dhvani Sheth, Solution Engineer at Oracle, showed how Oracle Analytics Cloud and Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse can provide useful data analysis and visualization to HR departments. Hiring the right people requires a lot of time, money, and effort. However, hiring the wrong people can be just as costly, if not more so. Without using data analytics to make data-driven decisions, HR departments may be prone to hire based on a cognitive bias that they aren’t aware of. Instead of using traditional techniques, HR can use data analytics and visualization to find patterns within large volumes of data to make insightful hiring decisions for the company.
