Goodbye Oracle Discoverer, Hello Next-Generation Reporting
Summary
As a heavyweight in the world on enterprise software, Oracle makes a lot of companies scramble any time it decides to stop supporting one of its core products. Discoverer uses a Java Applet, technology which is no longer supported by most modern browsers, including Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge. Identifying the right vendor is a complicated equation that depends on balancing various priorities: lowering IT costs, speeding up reporting, minimizing IT input, integrating more data, etc. Using OBIEE as Discoverer’s replacement is intended to help unlock the power of your information with robust reporting, ad hoc query and analysis, OLAP, dashboard, and scorecard functionality that offers the end user an experience that comes with visualization, collaboration, alert capabilities, and more. If your analysis of business processes (Step 3) uncovers that most team members prefer to manipulate EBS data in Excel, advanced training will leverage ongoing benefits.
