Decide on the Implementation Approach
As you plan your implementation of Fusion Data Intelligence, you must decide on the implementation approach.
- Phased approach
- Rollout of the prebuilt content in the phased approach
- Full-fledged approach
- Project Manager
- Fusion Data Intelligence Functional Administrator
- Fusion Data Intelligence Service Administrator
Phased Approach
The phased approach rolls out the implementation sequentially, gradually introducing the new system, allowing you to achieve the same results at a slower, more deliberate pace.
Rather than having one go-live for the entire system, a phased implementation approach has several smaller go-live events in each project phase. Because users must perform different functions during a phased implementation, preparation typically includes training on the various standard operating procedures used in each phase. This way, you can choose to set milestones based on your circumstances. Start small and review the prebuilt content (Phase A) for the first rollout.
Refer to Implementing Fusion Analytics using a Phased Approach for further guidance.
Category | Phase | Name | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Prebuilt | A | Prebuilt content | Implementing the ready-to-use content and rolling out to a handful of business users. |
Customization | B | Report customization | Tasks include:
|
Customization | C | Semantic layer customizations | Performing semantic model extensions. |
Customization | D | Security customizations and advanced security configurations | Tasks include:
|
Customization | E | Data customizations | Tasks include:
|
Maintenance | F | Maintenance | Tasks include:
|
Use the checklist to confirm that the action items are planned for. See Phased Implementation Approach Checklist.
Rollout of the Prebuilt Content
Phase A, the first phase, in the phased implementation approach is rolling out the prebuilt content. This enables business users to experience Fusion Data Intelligence much faster. They can familiarize themselves with the ready-to-use content prior to reviewing other use cases.
Phase A Steps | Step Name | Task | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Step 1 | Activate and Create Instance | Tasks include:
|
This step ensures that the:
|
Step 2 | Configure and Validate | Tasks include:
|
This step ensures that the:
|
Step 3 | Ready for Production | Tasks include:
|
This step ensures that the:

Note:
Whether planning a phased approach or a full-fledged approach, you must complete Steps 1 and 2.Full-Fledged Approach
The full-fledged approach rolls out implementation as one extensive project.
- Evaluate if a full-fledged rollout approach is a proper strategy for your implementation.
- Identify all implementation dependencies.
- Consider availability of business users and key project stake holders.
Use the checklist to confirm that the action items are planned for. See Full-Fledged Implementation Approach Checklist.
Accelerated Implementation Approach
If you want to roll out the Fusion Data Intelligence prebuilt content to a few business users as soon as possible, then follow the accelerated implementation approach.
