Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Oracle Analytics Cloud to extract data of colleagues who are present in the company and those who have left the company. It helps us mainiting the database records from name, official email IDs, employee IDs (if they wish to join us back in the future), personal mobile number, personal email ID, their last position in company when they left, and if we can re-hire or not.

Pros

Sorting out the data on basis of IDs of employee
Pull report of ex-colleagues by just a quick 2-3 prompts
Stores data in a form which is easily readable
Easy extraction of data anytime and anywhere by approved systeme users

Cons

Sometimes data is too cluttered and is hard to read, and the only solution is to download.
Would love to see if data can be downloaded in PowerPoint form.
Sometimes data sheet are empty when too much of data is to be extracted for selection

Return on Investment

Easy, fast and quick sorting of data and accuracy is flawless
Data from years of storing can be accessed so fast
Downloading of report is superfast with correct data

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Oracle Analytics in the past organization, and its primary main function was assisting us in generating various reports, statistics, and graphical displays of various data as needed to be resent. To my knowledge and understanding, there could be various packages that organizations may opt for and hence, a diversity of tools for reporting and graphical visualization.

Pros

extracting data from database and generating varios reports as required that capture analytical acumen
visualised reports
compiling and transforming data from multiple resources

Cons

pricing
probably certain AI tools that were not popular at that time

Return on Investment

no negative impact; the pricing is the only possible concern where certain discounts may be offered

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Oracle Analytics Cloud is a pretty good tool for data analytics, visualization, and reporting. It helps to build predictive models. Data models ensure everyone uses a standard set of curated data and definitions, reducing inconsistencies. Application and role-based security specify who is authorized to access what.

Pros

It enables us to connect and integrate data from various sources, including databases, data warehouses, cloud applications, and big data platforms.
Data collaboration – OAC enables users to create reports and visualizations based on source data and share those views with other OAC users.

Cons

Connectivity issues between Oracle Analytics Cloud (public or private) and any private data source that you connect to through a private access channel.

Return on Investment

Consolidated data. Cloud analytics makes it easier to gain a unified view, bringing together all your disparate data sources from different business systems in one place.
Data preparation – OAC can ingest data from multiple sources, profiling and cleansing data as loaded into the cloud service.
