How do a bunch of rocket scientists use Oracle BI to manage their business? Join this case study to see how JPL keeps track of how they track their projects, whether it be internal projects, or projects to send spacecraft to Mars. Included are assessments of various BI tools, data warehouse schemas, methods to manage metadata, and data visualization.

Forecasting is one of the most universally required (and reviled) business functions in analytics. OBIEE and Data Visualization now have the ability to automatically generate sophisticated forecasts with the click of a mouse. We’ll explain how OBI uses R to construct both exponential smoothing and ARIMA models.

Data clustering models are among the most common and most useful predictive analytic techniques and are fundamental to understanding complex and highly dimensioned datasets. They're perfect for segmenting customers and markets, identifying hidden patterns when businesses have hundreds of locations, and organizing products in new ways.

In this presentation we will discuss the current options available for moving various types of virtual machines to the cloud and the challenges inherent in doing so. We will discuss how Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as a Service compares to other major players such as AWS and how products such as Ravello may actually make a true dev / test / prod hybrid cloud practical.
