As well as being useful for call center applications where cross-selling offers have to be generated, Oracle Real-Time Decisions can also be used in general business situations where a decision has to be made, but you don’t have perfect knowledge of all the factors. For example, you might want to make a decision about whether […]

I gave a BI keynote (pdf copy of slides) at a couple of events last week (the Business Intelligence, Warehousing and Analytics Summit in Reston, VA and the OUG Scotland Conference & Exhibition, Glasgow), and as it’s been picked up on the Eye on Oracle blog site, I thought that it’s worth giving a bit […]

Yesterday, I enhanced my Oracle Real-Time Decisions project to start providing cross-sell offers to customers who had ordered through the SOA Suite Order Bookings business process. Today, I’m going to take the acceptances, or rejections, from customers and feed then back into the model, so that future offers can take into account the preferences of […]

Yesterday we got going with a slightly revised Oracle Real-Time Decisions project that we are using to come up with customer cross-sell offers after recieving orders via the Oracle SOA Suite Order Bookings demo. Today, we’ll look at generating cross-sell offers based on performance goals we define, such as maximizing revenue or minimizing costs.

OK, back to the drawing board a bit. After having worked through the first four sessions putting together an RTD Inline Service to select the most appropriate manufacturer for the Order Bookings BPEL process, it became increasingly clear that trying to put this particular scenario together for my first RTD project was a bit ambitious.

In this next posting on building an Oracle Real-Time Decisions project (part 1, part2 and part 3 are here if you’ve not seen them already), I’m going to look at the process of creating and populating the variables that RTD will use when building my predictive model. To recap, I’m looking to build an RTD […]

Over the past two days, we’ve taken an initial look at Oracle Real-Time Decisions (RTD), come up with a scenario with which we can build an RTD demo, and yesterday taken a look at the various elements of an RTD project. Today, we’re going to take the Order Bookings manufacturer choice scenario and match it […]

In yesterday’s posting, I set the scene for an Oracle Real-Time Decisions project that I’m going to integrate into the Oracle SOA Suite Order Bookings BPEL process. At present, the Order Bookings process allocates manufacturing jobs based on who provided the lowest quote; in the demo I’m going to build, jobs will be allocated based […]

And for my next trick, I shall be …. building an Oracle Real-Time Decisions project. For anyone who didn’t catch the posting on this blog earlier this year, Real-Time Decisions is a part of Oracle BI Suite Enterprise Edition, originally built by Sigma Dynamics and included as part of Siebel CRM, and now available standalone […]

This week, apart from some interesting client work, I’ve been mostly spending my free time finishing off the BI and SOA section of the new masterclass, and working on the section after that on Oracle Real-Time Decisions. Although I spend a fair amount of time in the new masterclass looking at the OBIEE basics - […]
