Oracle Business Intelligence

Intelligent Information Available in One Single View

Companies across all industries rely on accurate information delivered in a timely fashion in order to make decisions. However, although various internal functions such as sales, marketing, financial and Human Resources are all interconnected, the data storage is often very separate.

Oracle Business Intelligence Applications (OBIA) is a suite of pre-built, role based BI applications that can help streamline business processes for everyone in an organisation, from front-line employees to senior management.

Providing cross-value chain insights can help your employees make optimal, reactive decisions as and when necessary. OBIA is designed for both single and multiple data source environments, so the people in your organisation are able to gain information effortlessly from a range of data sources in one single view.
Sharing Information Effectively Across All Areas of Business
For an organisation to progress and grow, information between its various divisions must flow without difficulty. For example, sales, marketing, HR and financial teams must all be able to work together efficiently to be able to effectively manage their own areas of the business.

Oracle's Business Intelligence Applications suite (OBIA) includes:
• Financials
• Human Capital Management (HCM)
• Marketing
• Supply Chain
• Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

Equipped to ensure data that resides in multiple locations can be easily accessed by all staff, Oracle Business Intelligence Applications provide a true, cross-business view, regardless of where the data is actually stored.

Finance professionals can monitor performance, HR professionals are able to understand how workforce factors are affecting each department, sales people are able to identify their critical opportunities and marketing professionals have the power to make decisions based on fact rather than predicting what their campaign approach should be.
The Oracle Business Intelligence Applications suite provides a complete and integrated portfolio of products for managing business-wide power of performance, giving your company the competitive edge.
