―People are now a days trapped in traditional philosophy with its emphasis on analysis and description.
They are also trapped in logic which is only a very small part of operational thinking‖ - Dr. Edward de Bono

What is Cloud Computing?
• Cloud Computing is a term that defines the use of computing resources from the Internet. In cloud computing, software application is provided as a ‘service offering’ and hence the term SaaS (Software as a Service). Further the Cloud Computing service are characterized by
- Service on Demand
- Is elastic
- Is paid by usage

What is Cloud Computing?
Challenges
• Security
• Performance
• Availability
• Integration with on premise apps
• Limited customization
Why is it attractive today?
Economics
No upfront costs
No operational costsFast, simple and secure - can be accessed from anywhere/anytime
Customer Needs
• Competitive pricing
• Performance guarantees
• Data Privacy
• On premise private cloud
• Prevent violation of governance policies

Why Business Intelligence on Cloud?
• BI is an expensive proposition for any organization– BI demands high upfront costs
– Is expensive to maintain and support
• Lack of highly skilled people in BI
• All the big players are into it – IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, …
• BI now becomes available for small and medium business, no longer the domain of large enterprises
• BI technology is highly adaptable for Cloud Computing capabilities
• Complements the varying needs of the clients
• Can well be integrated with both on premise and cloud based BI solutions for the clients.

OBIEE on Cloud
• OBIEE Technology is perfectly adapted for Cloud Computing– Greatly simplified architecture resulting in three services namely the
Oracle BI Server or SAS Server service, Oracle Presentation Server or SAW Server service, and Java Web host service. One optional Oracle Scheduler Service.
– One binary file that contains the meta data of the BI application.
– One reporting directory structure, namely the web catalog
• First truly Enterprise Class Server product from ground up
• First BI technology platform that comes along with the complete suite of Application Analytics for Oracle ERP and CRM as well as any custom BI application development on non Oracle platform as well.

OBIEE on Cloud
―Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing toward what will be‖ - Kahlil Gibran
• No Server Side Caching, no shared cache• Simple changes to queries like group,
ungroup, add columns, re-query the DB• If you drag 20 attributes, 20 queries of
the DB• Multiple SQL Statements for repeated
actions within a query, such as adding items to an LOV
• Resource Intensive, Need More Hardware to Perform
• Cognos 8 is not aggregate aware- it relies on the DB optimizer
• Cognos 8 can’t do time based aggregations / Query Fragmentation such as last period, first period – must do in a cube
• Cannot easily join data from 2 DBs• PowerPlay - limited cube capacity, static,
data duplication, proprietary• ReportNet against PowerPlay performance
isssues due to translation layer• Analysis Studio performance issues

Recap !!!
Let us briefly recap what we have discussed so far.
We looked at what cloud computing really is?
We further discussed why BI on cloud makes sense?
Then we explored why OBIEE is a perfect product for cloud computing
In the process we also presented some key challenges that you might
experience based on your needs
And we kind of overlaid in context of what successful and famous people
had to say to help us at least think in a different way.
Let us now introduce a bit of creativity and get on to the next segment that is
built upon what we discussed till now.

Mind Mapping ‘Challenges’
―Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a
different way‖. – Dr. Edward de Bono

Key Challenges
―Most executives, many scientists, and almost all business school graduates believe that if
you analyze data, this will give you new ideas. Unfortunately, this belief is totally wrong. The
mind can only see what it is prepared to see‖. Edward de Bono

OBIEE on Cloud
―Sometimes the situation is only a problem because it is looked at in a certain way. Looked
at in another way, the right course of action may be so obvious that the problem no longer
exists.‖ Edward de Bono

The Creative Decision Making
―The system of nature, of which man is a part, tends to be self-balancing, self-adjusting,
self-cleansing. Not so with technology. ‖ ~E.F. Schumacher, Small is Beautiful, 1973

The Balancing Act!
Gartner predicts that by 2012, more
than 35% of global 5000 companies
will regularly fail to make critical
decisions because they don't have
access to timely information and the
analysis to do so.
By 2010, 20% of organizations will
have an industry-specific analytic
application delivered via software
as a service (SaaS) as a standard
component of their business
intelligence portfolio.
By 2012, business units will control
at least 40 per cent of the total
budget for BI

Wrap-up
In our second segment, we introduced creativity and looked at some
creative approaches to solving common challenges that we face today.
Then, we looked at leveraging key BI capabilities through Cloud
Computing and discussed various options that you might have.
Then we did a balancing act of priorities, challenges, predictions and
options setting the stage for a Trade-Off Analysis of OBIEE on Cloud.
We then showed you what we offer in Cloud Computing and then took you
through a brief demo.
I hope I was able to present why OBIEE on Cloud, difference between
reality and perception when it comes to OBIEE and how we could best
leverage Cloud computing to the best of our advantage.
