As a BI Power User you work closely with Business Users to understand and anticipate the strategic information that is required to develop the business data models. This strategic information likely includes key business indicators, such as trends, anomalies, exceptions, and data integrity issues, to mention but a few. You maintain a close "consulting" relationship with the IT department and Business Users. Your primary role is to provide strategic and tactical expertise in the design, development and maintenance of metadata, and to provide a conceptual view of the database to users. This generally involves:

• Analyzing and validating customer information requirements and data sources
• Defining and managing the metadata for ad hoc querying and reporting and articulating these requirements
• Defining access control for Business Users

You may also design and author reports used by the Business Users. In this role the tool that you need to use is OracleBI Discoverer.

Additionally, as a BI Power User, you continually seek to better understand your customers, enabling you to support and improve decision-making. You strive to build advanced business intelligence applications by enhancing your knowledge base and by developing actionable plans that do the following:

• Exploring, discovering, and predicting patterns hidden deep within your data
• Determining and developing a course of action to identify specific commonalities of your custom base
• Deploying models of customer behavior from information gleaned through discovery that you use to enhance your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) solutions

To meet these challenges, you need to use Oracle Data Mining .
