We’re
planning to invite everybody for a beer immediately after our session
on Monday afternoon 4:30 to 5:30 on Data Visualization for Oracle
Business Intelligence, so whether you’ve seen us present this topic
before, you’ve read our book, or if you want to catch up stop by and
join us for a cold one! Seriously, we’re also setting up meetings at
KScope, so if you plan to be there, let us know and we’ll set some time for a face-to-face chat.
Try
out Oracle Software for free on the Oracle Cloud! After several years
of hosting our Test Drive program on AWS, we’ve moved to the Oracle
Cloud. Go to www.vlamis.com/td
to try out Oracle Data Mining and Oracle BI Cloud Service. All you need
is a browser or Windows remote desktop. Nothing to download, nothing to
install.
Everyone
loves the power and intuitive interface of Visual Analyzer in OBI 12c,
BI Cloud Service, and Data Visualization Cloud Service. It true data
exploration with a drag and drop interface and powerful analytics. Now,
Oracle has released a desktop application version. It’s FREE when you
license the Data Visualization option of Oracle BI 12c or one of the
cloud services listed above. Data Visualization Desktop
puts the power of Visual Analyzer and Data Mashup on your local PC. You
can connect to all kinds of data sources including the following:
Oracle Database, Spark, SQL Server, DB2, MySQL, Teradata, Redshift,
Hive, Impala, MongoDB, SybaseIQ, Salesforce, Greenplum, and RightNow.
You can also upload Excel spreadsheets and connect natively to many
Oracle applications. There’s the ability to add R models and use several
“built-in” predictive analytic algorithms. Let us know if you want a
demonstration or have any questions.
We’re
excited to welcome Doug Schieder to the Vlamis Software Solutions

Jon Clark wrote a great blog entry on some of the technical issues we ran into while migrating a BICS account with a custom application written in APEX.

July 12-14. You’ll hear Dan and other Oracle ACES, Java Champions, and
Oracle experts as they share their technical expertise and insights.

Oracle
Advanced Analytics has two primary components: Oracle Data Mining and
Oracle R Enterprise. Both work together to give you the most powerful
and performant predictive analytics platform in the world. We often
encourage people to take these courses back-to-back in a single week so
that they get a complete and comprehensive understanding of the full set
of capabilities, algorithms, workflows, and data processing strategies
for true enterprise scale predictive analytics. While many organizations
struggle to take high level predictive analytic workflows and move them
from the data lab to production, those organizations leveraging the
power of the Oracle database are able to generate returns in the
millions of dollars.
These courses will be taught in Belmont, CA at the Oracle University Training Center:
▪ August 15-16, 2016 Predictive Analytics with Oracle Data Mining
▪ August 17-18, 2016 Oracle R Enterprise Essentials
