Oracle launches 11g Business Intelligence
Oracle launched version 11g of its Oracle Business Intelligence offering on Wednesday, the result of three years of work integrating technologies acquired with the buyouts of companies such as Siebel and Hyperion.
The product offers an environment for accessing relational, online analytical processing and XML data sources. It also improves integration with Oracle tools such as Essbase and Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g, Oracle said in its announcement. Essbase, a multi-dimensional database management system, was acquired with Hyperion in 2007.
Key to Oracle's strategy with the product is the integration of different business intelligence tools to give a coherent overall picture, the company said.
