Oracle has announced the general availability of Oracle Business Intelligence 12c (BI 12c), designed to deliver an entirely new experience for blending and visually analyzing any data in an enterprise-scale analytics platform.
The foundation of Oracle’s analytics offerings, Oracle BI 12c allows people across the organization to leverage a single integrated platform for self-service, visual data discovery and quickly find answers to pressing business questions while in the office or on the go.
Analytics offerings today force organizations to make a difficult choice between business agility and enterprise scale: Desktop solutions offer agile visual analytics but are limited to user-managed or departmental data; traditional BI solutions offer scalable performance on IT-managed data, but compromise agile self-service and time-to-value.
Oracle BI 12c delivers both in a no-compromise, modern platform that empowers people with stunning visual analytics as well as curated dashboards and analysis across personal, departmental and enterprise data.
Oracle BI 12c also advances the state-of-the-art with an integrated platform delivering self-service visual analytics, a re-imagined user experience, optimized in-memory processing, built-in advanced analytics and simplified administration.
With Oracle BI 12c, enterprise can benefit from:
Integration of data visualization and self-service data blending with enterprise analytics capabilities in the same offering, allowing customers to achieve the best of self-service agility and IT-managed reliability.
Intuitive search-driven analytics enabling people to type or speak questions and receive visualizations in response, broadening the reach and adoption of analytics across the organization.
Optimized in-memory processing for best use of system resources, enabling faster analysis on more data from personal, departmental, enterprise and Big Data sources.
Simplified administration and a streamlined upgrade process, delivering significantly lower cost of ownership.
“Our customers recognize that making informed decisions at the speed of today’s business requires a no-compromise analytics platform – one that empowers people with visual analytics, without compromising scale and reliability,” said Hari Sankar, group vice president, Business Analytics, Oracle. “Oracle BI 12c provides an enterprise-class visual analytics platform with everything customers need — rich visual analytics and extreme performance, with simplified administration and governance.”
Oracle BI 12c offers compatibility and integration with the full breadth of Oracle’s analytics offerings, both on-premises and in the cloud. Oracle’s consistent technology approach ensures continuity of experience and portability across its entire analytics portfolio – in the cloud and on-premises– making it simpler for customers to adopt the environment of their choice and scale as their needs evolve.
