The blog deals with leading practices in the use of Oracle Business Intelligence (OBIEE). Topics focus on the challenges faced in implementing front end components:

  • Answers
  • Dashboards
  • Delivers and
  • BI Publisher...

If implementation differs because of the datasource (M-OLAP v. R-OLAP), then they are addressed.

You will not find installation steps here, or a discussion of new features except to highlight if it is possible in a specific version.

For this information, many accomplished professionals in the industry deal with these topics through consulting and blogs. Here are some I've had the pleasure of meeting or working with:

  • Mark, Jon, Venkat, Adrian et al. down at Rittman Mead
  • Dave Atherton and the team at Praesto
  • Christian Berg, who writes independently on the delicate OBIEE / Essbase combination
  • John Minkjan, Ciber consultant, also writing independently on OBIEE and...
  • Kurt Wolff, an OBIEE practitioner of long standing writing for KPI Partners

And for leading practices in structured training and adoption for OBIEE, Peak Indicators do very good work.

The list is not exhaustive, but remember, in most cases free advice is worth what you pay for it.
