Business Intelligence
Business Intelligence is our core competency, which we have won three times in the last five years. We pride ourselves in our deep technical ability, delivery methodology, though leadership and knowledge sharing.Training
Ever since we started the company training has been at it’s heart. We have trained hundreds of people in the Business Intelligence and Data Integration community, both in paid-for bootcamp style courses, and in workshops, labs, and various sessions at conferences and other similar events.We believe our blog is one of the key sources of OBIEE knowledge globally, pretty much everyone we meet in the industry has used it at some point in their career.
Managed Service
Last year we put significant focus and investment into creating a global services team with the goal of providing different levels of business as usual and post implementation support to our clients.The type of services include operational continuity/business relevance, expert advisory, engineered systems (Exalytics) and a virtual Business Intelligence Competency Centre (BICC).
Emerging (New Products)
Rittman Mead has always looked to balance its skills across Oracle’s core Business Intelligence and Data Integration tools and the bleeding edge ones. The last 12 to 18 months has seen a significant change in the landscape of these tools, especially with the advent of Big Data and Oracle’s acquisition of Endeca.Rittman Mead implemented the first post-acquisition UK-based Endeca project, are running the first Real Time Decisions (RTD) project of this Oracle fiscal year, and have done a significant amount of work with R, including a pioneering study of the New York transit system.
Engineered Systems
Rittman Mead has been at the forefront of the Business Intelligence Engineered Systems (Exalytics) wave. Since its announcement at 2011 Oracle Open World, we ordered the first Exalytics server to be bought in the UK. Since then we have been working with Oracle and several of our customers to fully understand it and work out how to maximise its benefits to clients of all sizes.Awards like this are great recognition for all the hard work our team put in, so I would ask you to register your vote here.
