Understanding Oracle Business Intelligence Content
Typically, organizations track and store large amounts of data about products, customers, prices, contacts, activities, assets, opportunities, employees, and other elements. This data is often spread across multiple databases in different locations with different versions of database software.
After the data is organized and analyzed, it can provide an organization with the metrics to measure the state of its business. This data also can present key indicators of changes in market trends and in employee, customer, and partner behavior. Oracle Business Intelligence (Oracle BI) helps users obtain, view, and analyze the data.
Oracle BI Applications is a prebuilt business intelligence solution that supports Oracle sources, such as Oracle E-Business Suite Applications, Oracle's Siebel Applications, Oracle's PeopleSoft Applications, Oracle's JD Edwards Applications, and non-Oracle sources, such as SAP Applications. If you already own one of these applications, you can purchase Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) and Oracle BI Applications to work with the application.
Oracle BI Applications also provides complete support for enterprise data, including financial, supply chain, workforce, and procurement and spend sources. These enterprise applications typically source from both Oracle data sources, such as Oracle EBS and JD Edwards and non-Oracle data sources.
By creating OBIEE content frames, you can provide users quick access to this data from within enabled JD Edwards EnterpriseOne applications.
