Data Visualization - Abstract
For years the ability to analyze data to discover new insights through impressive visualizations and rapid
prototyping with custom, ad-hoc, or enterprise data has been out of reach for Oracle customers. Now
as part of the Oracle BIEE system, Oracle BI Visual Analyzer (VA) technology has filled the gap with an
integrated solution that gives business users and developers alike the power to gain insights through
visual discovery. These visual discoveries can then be carried over as production-ready reports for
stunning presentations and analysis using standardized Oracle BI subject areas or data mashups with
custom data with Excel spreadsheets.
Attend this session to learn about Oracle Visual Analyzer and its ability to provide self
service data discovery to compete with other data visualization tools on the market today like Tableau
and how Visual Analyzer can be part of your next OBIEE implementation. Attendees will witness a
demonstration of the Oracle BI Visual Analyzer solution taking a real-world business use case from end-
to-end to learn how straightforward it is to tell a compelling story with data and prototype with greater
speed of delivery, all while gaining insights to information with this new cutting-
edge data visualization access.
