Developing Enterprise-Scale Analytics Systems Using Oracle Analytics and Oracle Autonomous Database

Oracle has a huge footprint in the world of large enterprise computing and offers the opportunity to build large, enterprise analytics systems that operate at enormous scale. This course covers how to combine Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) with Oracle Autonomous Database in a seamless, enterprise-scale analytics system. You learn best practices for world-class visual analytics in interactive dashboards and mobile systems. Self-service data mashups, modeling, and enrichments capabilities are empowering data analysts to deliver insights and decision support analytics without writing any code. You learn how to best leverage OAC’s built-in machine learning capabilities and which algorithms and ML models are best left to the number-crunching power of Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW). You learn how to integrate powerful geo-spatial analytics and produce multi-layered map views featuring location-based analytics.

With decades of experience working with many of Oracle’s largest and most important customers, Oracle ACE Directors Dan and Tim Vlamis share their practical insights and world-class frameworks and methodologies in dimensional modeling and analytic warehousing, data visualization, geo-spatial analytics, machine learning and predictive analytics.

What you’ll learn and how you can apply it

By the end of the live online course, you’ll understand:

  • Learn which of Oracle’s offerings are best suited for supporting enterprise-scale analytics.
  • Hear what mistakes large organizations make again and again and see how to turn around struggling analytics initiatives.
  • Learn about autonomous systems from Oracle, what to enhance, and what to leave alone.

And you’ll be able to:

  • Leverage Oracle’s newest technologies and capabilities and integrate them into your existing systems, whether cloud-based, on-premise, or a hybrid.
  • Maximize returns from your existing Oracle investment without spending millions more on expensive analytics toolsets.
  • Weigh the plusses and minuses of modeling data in your warehouse, in Oracle Analytics, or both.

This live event is for you because...

  • You already have some Oracle products in your enterprise eco-system and want to learn more about their approach to analytical processing rather than transactional processing.
  • You want insight on the best approaches to the Oracle suite of analytics offerings for large enterprises.
  • You understand the importance of data strategy and want to gain broader support within your organization for strategic data analytics projects.
  • You want to learn about foundational enterprise computing and analytics.
  • You want to move up to a more strategic role within your firm and know that analytic architecture and data strategy development are the keys to your success.

Prerequisites

  • You should have basic knowledge of data processing and data strategy.
  • You should have a basic knowledge of enterprise systems and decision-making dynamics.
  • You should be familiar with Oracle’s position in the world of Enterprise Information Technology.
