Presenting at Collaborate’06, Nashville

April 20th, 2006 by Mark Rittman

I’m going to be presenting next week at the
Collaborate’06 event in Nashville,
Tennessee. Collaborate’06 is a joint conference between the IOUG, OAUG and Quest
Direct and is being held at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel, Nashville, from April
23rd through to April 27th.


Technology and Applications Forum for the Oracle Community

The first presentation I’ll be giving will be with one of our
partners, QDecisions, on a new product they are launching called QMortgage.
QMortgage is a "packaged" business intelligence application for the Mortgage
market built on Oracle Database 10g, Oracle OLAP and Oracle BI Beans. During the
presentation, we’ll be talking about the idea behind QMortgage and how the
packaged approach can significantly reduce the amount of time it takes to
deliver a BI solution.

I’ll be going through how Oracle’s BI components were used to
build the application, how we’ve leveraged and extended Oracle Business
Intelligence Beans, and how we delivered OLAP reporting through both thick and
thin client Web Interfaces, and through JSR-168 compliant portlets. You can see
this presentation at the OAUG FIN SIG on Wednesday at 2.00pm in Donelson A in
the Ramada Hotel, and again on Thursday at 11.00am in Belle Meade AB in the main
event location.

The second presentation is on Wednesday at 3.15pm in Cheekwood C
in the main conference location, and is on Best Practices for the OLAP Option to
Oracle Database 10g. This is an update on the previous OLAP Best Practices
presentations I’ve given, is updated for 10g Release 2, and is pretty much the
definitive OLAP tuning paper I’m going to present, at least until 11g comes out.
I’m pretty pleased with this one as I’ve covered off most bases, incorporated
sections on the Sparsity Advisor and Partitioning, and reordered and tidied the
paper up a bit to make it read easier. If you come along to the presentation
I’ll be showing off these new 10gR2 features in action, and I can answer any
questions you’ve got about Oracle OLAP performance tuning.

If you aren’t going to Collaborate’06, you can download the
papers and presentations from here:

As you’d expect, I’ll be blogging from the event, so check back
next week for summaries of the BI presentations and photos from the event.
