The Need for Business Analytics

Quick Audience Survey
• Who’s Using Essbase today?
• Who’s Using OBIEE or the Oracle BI Apps today?

• Who’s Managing a Unified EPM/BI Environment Today?
• Who’s Using Oracle Cloud (SaaS/PaaS/IaaS) Today?

The Mandate for Business Analytics
IDC predicts that by 2020, organizations
able to analyze all relevant data and deliver
actionable information will achieve an extra
$430 billion in productivity benefits over their
less analytically oriented peers.
Information is the new asset. Entire business
models are being disrupted as a result. Consider:
• The taxi company Uber owns no cars.
• The media owner Facebook creates no content.
• The hospitality provider AirBnB owns no rooms.
A number of factors, including changes in
employee/customer behavior, explosion in data
sourcing & creation rates, & technology
improvements have created an environment
where analytics can be transformational.

Where are we going?
Will we meet our goals?
What was the final outcome?
Did we meet our goals?
Why did it occur?
What if we did things differently?
When did an event occur?
Is some action required?
Which action should I take?
Can I see the impact?
How can we change our business?
What would be the benefit?

Essbase Cloud - Power User Analytics
• 20+ Years of Essbase History
– Early On, Essbase was a FINANCE tool, not an IT Tool
– Early Consultants came out of finance, and did reporting &
wrote calculations. Excel experts became Essbase experts.
– Along the way, IT departments invested in Essbase as part of
broader BI initiatives - suddenly Essbase became an IT Tool.
– Essbase Training classes were one of the only places you
could see Finance & IT sitting together
• On-Premise Challenges
– As Essbase became the “engine” behind EPM, deployments
became more complex, and IT had to manage the
environments
– Risk Management & Controls prevented Finance from “spinning
up cubes” whenever they wanted
– Essbase deployments dwindled to what IT budgets could afford
Core Reporting, Planning, & Profitability Analysis
– Custom Use Cases & Analytics for smaller user subsets
became difficult to fund, and difficult to manage
• Essbase Cloud – Power User Custom Analytics
– OAC provides new features such as sandboxing & auto cube
deployment making it easier for finance to work with
– IT can manage centralized deployments, giving business users
the power to control “sandbox” & custom analytics
– If you can do it in a pivot table, you can do it in OAC
“I Don’t always use
Excel Pivot Tables,
but when I do, I
always make sure
to use Oracle
Analytic Cloud”.
