April 25, 2006 - Oracle has announced the Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) Suite, which includes the recently acquired Siebel Business Analytics products. Oracle now has a large collection of disparate products that it is assembling into packages as part of its Oracle Fusion middleware strategy. Before examining this package, organizations should decide whether they need to reconsider their BI strategy and suppliers. Oracle unquestionably has a substantial portfolio of BI products ranging from database, application server, BI platform and tools to applications, but Ventana Research advises potential customers to monitor its execution on its product integration roadmap.
Oracle made a splash celebrating its new BI Suite, which contains the recently acquired Siebel Business Analytics products. The BI Suite groups products from four categories: Oracle Fusion middleware, Oracle Database, Siebel Analytics and Oracle Applications. Reluctant to leave any technology behind, Oracle has chosen to continue to develop and support Oracle Discoverer and Oracle Reports and cover them under the lifetime warranty and maintenance plan it calls Protect, Extend, Evolve. Oracle now presents a three-pronged BI product strategy that includes creating an integrated set of BI platform and tools, a BI-empowered database and analytic applications.
