OBIEE is not dead, just has a new name

With just one more holiday to get through before back to work, there’s just enough time to catch up with the latest blogs we read this month. Also happening this month were the speaker announcements for UKOUG, and unfortunately I didn’t make the cut. With so many submissions for a limited number of slots, I […]

Catching Up with OBIEE News

My mate has been fired from his job at a dress alteration company. Apparently he didn’t turn up enough. OK, lets keep up the pace this year. Soo much to learn in the OBIEE world, so little time. Lets talk about size. How big is your OBIEE? I was recently at an OBIEE presentation and […]

Deadlines Met and News @ OBIEE

Deadlines. Some are ‘pretend’, you know you can get away with being a little bit late, because the you KNOW the project manager has factored in you being late! Others are very fixed. Like the deadline to submit proposals for speaking at conferences. Luckily I met the two that just passed, one was for Oracle […]

Go Self Service or Go Home

Who understands your company Data best? Is it the OBIEE RPD Developer? Is it the DBA? Is it the Warehouse Designer? How about the source System Architect? Or the department analyst? Lets ask the question another way, Who knows what to do with the company Data in your system? The Data Scientist? The report distributer? […]

OBIEE Went to Las Vegas

We have been busy, and so have all the OBIEE Bloggers. This year I thought it was about time we went to Collaborate, and boy was it worthwhile. Our room at the Delano was massive. The hotel was massive. The conference was huge. Grand Canyon unbelievable. And what can I say about Vegas? It has […]

Post Conference Blues
