Description:
Are you getting the maximum benefit from Oracle's wide variety of analytical functions, including statistics, data mining and text mining?

Many businesses are not realizing the benefits of analytics that are available within their Oracle environment. This functionality is available within PLSQL, but typical analysts do not know how to access and utilize it. As a result they remove samples of data and work on it outside the database in tools that are not secure and create multiple instances of the source data. InforSense technology empowers analysts to utilize the analytics contained within Oracle with a very powerful, easy to use interface that accesses and exploits all Oracle analytical functions including Statistics, Data Mining and Text Mining.

Join InforSense for this webinar to learn how to empower analysts to take advantage of the power of Oracle Analytics. Our analytical experts will show you how to benefit from:

• Programming-free analytics development, based on an easy-to-use, drag-and drop environment for constructing analytical applications.
• In-database Oracle analytics, based on native Oracle analytics, thus ensuring efficiency, high performance, security and data integrity.
• Interactive visual analytics, by providing a flexible and open visualization framework, and a comprehensive set of interactive visualization tools.
• Guided analytics, by providing an easy-to-use framework for deploying interactive analytics for use by decision makers via portal and dashboard interfaces.
• Automated analytics, by enabling the deployment of the analytics through standardized web service interfaces allowing them to be accessed automatically from a variety of applications.
• Embedded analytics, by enabling analytics to be embedded and orchestrated from within business processes through interfacing with Oracle BPEL engines.

Who should attend:

• Business analysts
• Business intelligence and data warehousing personnel
• Statisticians and data analysts
• Database administrators supporting business intelligence
• Anyone looking to maximize the value of their Oracle investments
