Enterprises can no longer slow down or stop―for even a minute. The costs are simply too high. Industry estimates put the average cost of IT downtime at $5,600 a minute, with the range of losses between $140,000 and $540,000 per hour. As part of their efforts to keep this expensive downtime at bay―and to ensure the continued viability and availability of data flowing through enterprises, data managers are increasingly turning to strategies such as automation and cloud services. Still, they continue to have difficulties and acknowledge that keeping their data environments up-to-date is holding them back from delivering more capabilities to their organizations.

Fusion Analytics Warehouse or FAW in short, is an analytical application that maximize the value of ERP Cloud data by turning finance data into actionable insights. Empowers finance users to monitor business performance with pre-built or custom key performance indicators (KPIs)

It is adaptable to combine ERP Cloud Data with data from other sources to enable cross-functional insight and a single trusted view of the enterprise.

We will provide a description and roadmap of the products in the Oracle Analytics space and how each of them would apply to solve your data requirements needs.

We'll review tech aspects of FAW which is powered by ADW and OAC.

We will explore some capabilities and support timelines on OBIA, OTBI, EPM and OAX and why a combination provides a complete finance analytic solution.

A final review on implementation aspects for security, extensibility and deployment.

In today’s world, the ability to quickly create value from different types of data increasingly provides businesses with a competitive edge. But as companies develop more apps, analytics, and ML to digitize their processes and decision points, they’re faced with a difficult choice: to either optimize for fast application development now or easier value creation from data later. In other words, developer productivity or data productivity. In this session, Maria Colgan will explain how Oracle gives developers the right tools for each job to make them more productive, and IT a unified data tier that makes the reuse of data and overall management simpler and easier.

Large cities are often the most progressive adapters of technology of government institutions. Join us as we discuss the challenges of large, diverse user groups like finance, roads and transportation, public health and safety including fire and police, parks and recreation, and license and regulatory enforcement. We’ll review the most useful frameworks and methods that bring value to the analytic systems of cities and other similar government agencies.
