Business Intelligence Applications (Qualifying Specialization)
Oracle BI Applications are complete, prebuilt BI solutions that deliver intuitive, role-based intelligence for everyone in an organization—from front line employees to senior management—that enable better decisions, actions, and business processes. Based on best practices, these solutions enable organizations to gain more insight and greater value from a range of ERP and CRM data sources and applications. Oracle BI Applications are built on the Oracle BI Suite Enterprise Edition, a comprehensive, innovative, and leading BI platform. This enables organizations to realize the value of a packaged BI Application, such as rapid deployment, lower TCO, and built-in best practices, while also being able to easily extend those solutions to meet their specific needs, or build completely custom BI applications—all on one common BI foundation. The Specialization recognizes partners that have demonstrated through testing their firm’s ability to:
- Identify sales opportunities for Oracle BI Applications
- Position Oracle BI Applications solutions with their customers
- Demo Oracle BI Applications
- Implement Oracle BI Applications
