Oracle BI&W Presentations At ODTUG 2004

The forthcoming ODTUG Conference 2004 has a number of presentations that'll be of interest to Oracle BI&W developers. As it's in Arizona I can't quite see my resources stretching to attending but if you're an ODTUG member, it's sounds it'll be worth going along.

Getting from Zero to OLAP Quickly - Jean Pierre Dijcks, Principal Product Manager

"This session will give you a brief overview of Oracle OLAP and demonstrate how you can quickly and easily build an OLAP application from scratch.

Data Quality Why You Should Be Concerned and How Oracle Warehouse Builder Can Help - Jean Pierre Dijcks, Principal Product Manager

"We spend time and money designing, building, securing, and backing up data stores. Although a key element is to ensure the quailty of our data (especially when it comes from many different data sources), many questions are often never raised, and yet we allow people to make daily business decisions based on this data. This session will show how Oracle Warehouse Builder can identify and solve data quality issues before they impact your business."

Oracle Discoverer: Best Practices for Scalibility, Performance, and Troubleshooting - Mike Donohue, Development Manager

"In this session, you will learn how to boost Discoverer?s performance, scalability, and availability.

Inside Oracle Reports: The Hunt for the Hidden Treasures - Philipp Weckerle, Team Lead

"Everybody knows that you can create PDF documents and e-mail them using Oracle Reports. But how about bursting your report output so that each of the recipients only gets the part of the report he/she is supposed to see, create voiceXM or WML output from Oracle Reports, or have the report server send you an SMS or instant message when your report is done and tell you where you can pick it up? These things can be done, and we will show you all the hidden treasures in Oracle Reports, which you can use to achieve these goals."

Exploiting the Power of Oracle Using Microsoft Excel - Keith Laker, Principal Product Manager

"The Oracle Excel Addin is designed to be an application that makes it even easier than before to access, connect, and analyze key critical business intelligence data, and, at the same time, give everyday users the tools they need to get the most out of their data. This presentation will demonstrate how to quickly and efficiently create, analyze, and share important business intelligence data using Oracle OLAP technology and Excel."
