iWare Logic’s Discoverer to Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) migration quick start services Oracle BI Enterprise EditionOracle BI Suite Enterprise Edition is a mature, feature-rich and flexible BI platform. The OBIEE stack is database independent and as such a natural fit for any organisation that uses disparate data sources from different vendors. However, even for Oracle database users there are compelling reasons to evaluate OBIEE as the BI tool of choice for the future, such as the ease of use, performance and ability to deliver content by email and offline. Oracle now positions OBIEE as their flagship BI product and a serious challenger to the traditional BI vendors, such as Business Objects (SAP) and Cognos (IBM). The position now taken by Oracle has left many Discoverer users wondering about their options. Should they stick with the tried and trusted Discoverer platform, now referred to as Oracle BI Standard Edition (OBISE), or should they seriously consider migrating to the Enterprise Edition? When Discoverer users should consider migrating their existing OBISE portfolio,•Where Discoverer is used for reporting from Oracle databases but another tool is used for other data sources. Customers should consider standardising on a single platform.
