Some on-premise customers have chosen to embark on their path to the Oracle Cloud. An important part of the transition is to develop a business intelligence reporting approach that works for your organization. In this session, Oracle Gold and Cloud Standard Partner, Elire, will provide an overview of Oracle Business Intelligence and the Cloud Report options available. The session will discuss industry best practices around Cloud reporting and how it differs from on-premise reporting. Finally, Elire will present a case study to discuss a recent client who chose to move off PeopleSoft and simultaneous implementation of both Oracle Cloud HCM and Cloud ERP. An Elire cloud reporting expert will discuss how to prioritize your reporting needs, utilize industry best practices for your reporting development, and review the lessons learned during the implementation.
