OBIEE 11gR1 Now Available for Download
You might have missed it late on Friday afternoon, but the long-awaited 11gR1 release of Oracle Business Intelligence is now available for download on OTN. Three years in the making, this new release of Oracle's business intelligence platform provides an updated user interface, better integration with Essbase, new OLAP capabilities, the Action Framework for integration with applications and web services, and improved management through Enterprise Manager and WebLogic Server.
Rittman Mead have been one of the longest-running beta testers for this new release, and since the launch have made a wealth of information available at our OBIEE 11gR1 Resource Centre. Now that the product is generally available, keep an eye on this site for more in-depth articles on how to get the best out of this new release.
Rittman Mead also have two immediate offers for customers looking to implement OBIEE 11gR1. Our Oracle BI Training Days 2010 event, running in London, Atlanta and Bangalore, offers hands-on training on this new release led by our beta-testing team. Aimed at developers with a basic understanding of Oracle BI, this will be one of the first opportunities to get proper, in-depth training on this new release.
We also have a number of consulting packages for customers looking to upgrade, or implement OBIEE 11gR1 from scratch. Our OBIEE 11g Upgrade service takes you through the process of planning the new 11gR1 architecture, and then moving your existing metadata, reports and dashboards to the new platform, whilst our OBIEE 11g Implementation service is aimed at organizations implementing Oracle BI for the first time. We also have a number of free and trial services, details of which, together with our consulting offerings, are in this datasheet.
Finally, it's Oracle Open World 2010 in San Francisco soon, and Rittman Mead are proud to be delivering ten sessions over the week, on OBIEE 11g together with supporting technologies such as Oracle Data Integrator, Oracle Golden Gate and Oracle data warehousing. Keep an eye on this blog for full details of these sessions.
