The Gartner Magic Quadrant has positioned Oracle as a leader in the 2010 Business Intelligence (BI) Platforms, Corporate Performance Management (CPM) Suites, and Data Integration. Gartner's Magic Quadrant depicts the information technology research and advisory company’s analysis of how certain vendors measure against criteria for that marketplace at and for a specific time period.
Business Intelligence Platforms
“...leaders are vendors that are reasonably strong in the breadth and depth of their BI platform capabilities, and can deliver on enterprise wide implementations that support a broad BI strategy," Gartner stated, in regards to its announcement of the 2010 Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms. "Leaders articulate a business proposition that resonates with buyers, supported by the viability and operational capability to deliver on a global basis.”
The Oracle BI Foundation offers comprehensive analytic and BI capabilities for ad hoc analysis, OLAP, interactive dashboards, advanced reporting and publishing, proactive detection and alerts, mobile analytics, and more. Its hot-pluggable design enables organizations to extend BI capabilities to existing Oracle and non-Oracle data sources and applications including SAP.
The Oracle BI Foundation serves as the technical foundation for Oracle’s Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) system as well as Oracle BI Applications. Oracle BI Applications are complete, prebuilt solutions for Oracle and non-Oracle applications that enable customers to achieve fast time to value by reducing deployment time and help lower overall total cost of ownership.
“We believe Gartner’s placement of Oracle in the Leaders Quadrant recognizes our work to deliver a complete, open and integrated BI platform that helps organizations proactively make informed, actionable decisions and drive toward optimized performance across the enterprise,” said Paul Rodwick, vice president of Product Management, Oracle Business Intelligence. “Organizations around the world are making Oracle’s BI platform their enterprise standard.”
Corporate Performance Management (CPM) Suites
Oracle is positioned as a leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Corporate Performance Management (CPM) Suites based on analysis of Oracle’s Hyperion Performance Management applications.
Oracle’s Hyperion Performance Management applications are a modular suite of integrated applications that support a broad range of strategic and financial performance management processes that help organizations deliver predictable results, improve transparency, and increase business alignment.
The Oracle EPM System helps organizations achieve management excellence by uniting Hyperion performance management applications, prebuilt Oracle BI Applications, and the Oracle BI Foundation, into a complete and integrated system for managing and optimizing performance across business functions.
John O’Rourke, vice president of Marketing, Oracle Enterprise Performance Management, commented, “Our category-leading performance management applications are enabling organizations to take advantage of their existing IT investments and achieve world-class reporting, planning and decision-making processes.”
Data Integration
Gartner’s “Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools” positions Oracle in the Leaders quadrant. The Oracle Data Integration enables enterprises to build, deploy, and manage real-time data-centric architectures in a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), BI, and data warehouse environments. The fully unified solution combines all the elements of data integration - real-time and bulk data movement, transformation, synchronization, data quality, data management, and data services - to ensure that information is timely, accurate, and consistent across heterogeneous and highly available systems.
A component of Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle Data Integration Suite is a comprehensive, hot-pluggable, integrated set of data management products that allows organizations to improve performance and productivity. The suite includes Oracle Data Integrator Enterprise Edition, Oracle BPEL Process Manager, Oracle Hyperion Data Relationship Management, and Oracle Service Bus. Oracle also delivers advanced data quality and profiling products for enabling trusted information, and solutions for developing and managing federated data services.
The newest addition of Oracle's data integration offerings, Oracle GoldenGate provides low-impact, real-time data integration and continuous availability solutions, enabling companies to achieve 24/7 access to real-time data for operational and analytical environments. Its wide variety of use cases includes real-time business intelligence; query offloading; zero-downtime upgrades, maintenance, and data center consolidation; and active-active databases for data distribution and high availability.
Oracle has launched a Data Integration Forum event series, called “Innovations that Drive the Real-Time Enterprise,” across the globe featuring Oracle GoldenGate, Oracle Data Integrator Enterprise Edition, Oracle Data Quality and Oracle Data Profiling products. The event series brings organizations together with Oracle’s data integration experts to discuss the best practices for delivering the fastest and most scalable real-time data architectures at a reduced total cost of ownership.
