Rittman Mead - Delivered Intelligence

I mentioned in my posting yesterday that, whilst at Open World last week, I was struck by the many conversations I had with people around Oracle business intelligence and Service Orientated Architectures (generally shortened to SOA and, within Oracle, pronounced “So-ah”.) BI was also positioned very much within the Fusion Middleware stack of products, alongside […]

Well I’m back in the UK now, and I’ve had yesterday and this morning to myself before the family gets back from Ireland. We’re all back at work tomorrow (well school and nursery for the kids, we haven’t got them working as chimney sweeps yet) so I’ve been earning a few brownie-points giving the house […]

I just happened to check out the dashboard on my wordpress installation and noticed a trackback from Jonathan Lewis’ new blog. I bumped into Jonathan in the lobby of the King George last week and he mentioned that he was going to give the idea a try; from looking at the first entry he’s going to […]

Yesterday was the Business Intelligence CAB meeting, which consisted of a number of presentations to BI customers and partners on Oracle’s ongoing product direction. As it’s all under an NDA I can’t go in to most of it, but one presentation that I can report back on what Mike Durran’s “Discoverer - Protect, Extend, Evolve” […]

An early night for me for once, as I’m back now from the Oracle Press event and catching up with the last few presentations of the day. In the end I went to the Server Technology Beta Program event, then the Oracle Press event, and I got a chance to spend some time with Arup […]

I woke up this morning with the mother of all hangovers after spending the evening in an Irish Bar around the corner from the Moscone, but at least my bag was still with me with my laptop still in it. Compared to leaving your laptop in a bar, sorting yourself out with a strong coffee […]

Tonight was the night that we organized our second annual Oracle Open World blogger meetup, this time at the Thirsty Bear bar next door to the Moscone. For a variety of reasons I’ve ended up in the Thirsty Bear every night since I’ve been here (and I’ll be there tonight, for the Oracle Press event) […]

I’ve just come out of the “What’s New with Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.2″ presentation by David Granholm, and there’s a bunch of new details on what’s coming up with this new release. I should say that, as with all the presentations, there’s a disclaimer at the start to say that this is for information only […]

This afternoon I firstly went along to Kurt Wolff’s “Oracle BI Suite Enterprise Edition Tips & Tricks” presentation, followed afterwards by Paul Rodwick’s “Oracle BI Roadmap” session. Kurt is one of the original nQuire guys and has worked with what is now BI Suite EE - before that Siebel Analytics - right from the beginnings […]

Just a short reminder that we’re holding an Oracle Blogger meetup at the Thirsty Bear bar and restaurant, from 7.00pm onwards on Tuesday, October 24th. If you’ve got an Oracle blog, please feel free to come along, we’ll be there from 7.00pm onwards and hopefully it should be an interesting evening. FYI, the Thirsty Bear […]
