Introduction to OAC Running on ADW

Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) enables you to visualize your data, obtain new insights, and make knowledgeable decisions, all using your data. If you load your data into an Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW), it’s even easier, since you simply load and go. No indexes needed!

Join this short webinar to see how easy it is to load data and immediately start exploring and even build complex dashboards that expose the power of predictive analytics on your data. The data can come from the cloud, your on-premise databases, or even Excel spreadsheets.

The webinar will be presented by Vlamis Software Solutions, known for presenting live demonstrations of Oracle’s latest versions
