Modern Visualization and Analysis for OBIEE data using TableauOrganizations have spent several years of effort and millions of dollars to build data models, reports, and security in Oracle BI (OBIEE) platform. However, users are frustrated with OBIEE’s dated visualization, lack of blending, and missing self-service capability. Business users are bogged down by the dependence on IT to create BI reports and visualizations while IT is overwhelmed with a crushing backlog of BI requests.

Users have come to realize that modern BI tools such as Tableau provide the self-service BI capability that is missing in traditional BI platforms such as OBIEE. They have adopted Tableau to analyze data in excel and data marts, but they struggle and waste enormous amounts of time when it comes to connecting Tableau to higher value business data stored in OBIEE.

BI connector solves this challenge by allowing Tableau users to connect directly to OBIEE RPD. Users can reuse OBIEE data model, joins, and security model to create beautiful reports and what-if analysis using Tableau. Business benefits from a simple, time-saving, and empowering self-service BI user experience while IT benefits from reduced BI backlogs, cost savings due to reuse of OBIEE metadata, and superior governance due to OBIEE security model. BI connector offers a win-win value proposition for both business and IT.

BI connector OffersEasy connection from Tableau to OBIEEUsers can connect from Tableau to OBIEE RPD using BI connector in just a few minutes. Unlike native ODBC driver which requires months of extensive changes in OBIEE and tedious set up of .tdc files, BI connector does not require any changes to OBIEE and is easy to get started.

Speed of change and self-service BI for OBIEEBI connector empowers users with Self-service BI capability for OBIEE data using Tableau. Users can now analyze, visualize, and blend OBIEE data rapidly with new data sources to extract maximum value from business data.

Reuse OBIEE business logicBI connector enables Tableau users to reuse the metadata, joins, and business logic in OBIEE that has been built over several years. It provides significant cost savings and time savings by eliminating the wasteful effort of recreating the same logic in the staging area, or creating direct data warehouse access that fails to scale.

Secure access to OBIEE dataBI connector strictly uses OBIEE’s security model for authentication and provides secure access to your most valuable business data. Users access only the data that they are authorized to see in OBIEE.

Instant access to real-time dataBI connector provides instant and easy access to real-time data in OBIEE. Say goodbye to stale data from laborious excel or sql exports from OBIEE which are also a huge governance risk.
