Forge an analytics-driven culture with machine learning
With the volume, variety, and sources of data constantly growing, machine learning (ML) helps users discover unseen patterns or insights from data. ML built into Oracle Analytics removes human bias and enables users to easily interpret possible outcomes and opportunities. Everyone—from clickers to coders—can use embedded ML to build custom, business-specific models for better decision-making. Business users do not need special technical or programming skills to use ML. In addition, data scientists, engineers, and developers can accelerate model building, training, and publishing by using the Oracle Autonomous Database Python environment as a high-performance computing platform.
Reduce risk and control access
Evolving methods of working are demanding more secure data analytics systems. With Oracle Analytics, the semantic layer and data model ensure that everyone uses a common set of curated data and definitions, thereby eliminating inconsistencies. Application and role-based security specify who is authorized to access what. Data-level security enables fine-grained access controls while ensuring that all stakeholders use the same data irrespective of their personalized view and level of access. Plus, native integration with federated identity management systems enables single sign-on (SSO) across applications.
Anywhere, anytime analytics
Stay connected with automated delivery of analytics and ongoing monitoring of business performance from anywhere at any time. The Oracle Mobile app learns from each person’s own patterns and data interests to deliver intelligent recommendations for further analyses or data exploration. Use natural language to query data verbally or use search-like patterns in 28 languages. Receive alerts in real time based on different triggers such as when new data or reports become available, a threshold in a metric is reached, or arriving at a specific GPS location.
Deployment choice and predictable pricing
To ensure predictable costs, Oracle charges only for consumption regardless of the services, features, or roles used.

Oracle Analytics capabilities
Oracle Analytics empowers business users, data engineers, and data scientists to access and process data, evaluate predictions, and make quick, accurate decisions. Oracle Analytics addresses the entire analytics process, including data ingestion, preparation and enrichment, and visualization and collaboration. Machine learning (ML) is embedded throughout the platform to help organizations go beyond being data-driven to become analytics-driven.
Deploy and administer
Oracle Analytics Cloud is built on Oracle’s next generation cloud infrastructure and is an Oracle-managed native cloud service that can be deployed with a compute size of between 2 and 52 OCPUs depending on the analytic workloads. Analytics Cloud offers the flexibility to scale up and scale down Analytics Cloud environments. When there is no need to access a specific Analytics Cloud instance, it can simply be paused to reduce costs.
On-premisesOracle Analytics Server is customer-managed and deployed at your data center. Analytics Server can also be hosted in Oracle or non-Oracle cloud infrastructure, such as Microsoft Azure.

Connect your social feeds, Internet of Things (IoT) sources, and data lakes from popular data sources, including Snowflake, Google Analytics, Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery, Microsoft SQL Server, and more.
Direct query and data cachingOracle Analytics platform provides both direct query and caching options. Direct query enables data to be ingested into the analytics layer directly from the data source itself at query time. Choose a custom balance between direct query and caching depending on the analytics use case. Analytics queries are automatically optimized for each data source for best performance.
An in-memory engine built into Oracle Analytics boosts the performance of slow or legacy data sources. Boosting slow systems means frequently run query data is cached and optimized for analytics, which then provides high-performance consistently to users. Once data is cached, modern analytics capabilities, such as Auto Insights and machine learning, can easily be run on that cached data. This extends legacy data management systems that are missing modern capabilities.
Model
Develop and deliver trusted and governed semantic models to ensure a consistent view of business-critical data. Map complex data into familiar and consistent business terms. Design an optimized, fine-tuned query for execution.
Self-service modelingUsers can directly join two or more tables and control the relationship—for example, inner or outer joins—through self-service. Easily share self-service data models with colleagues.
Datasets can be augmented by business users with additional data, attributes, calculations, or transformations. Oracle Analytics examines the datasets, highlights any data anomalies found, and makes smart recommendations to repair or extend the dataset.
Prepare and enrich
Using the power of the semantic profiler in Oracle Analytics, data quality insights provide a visual representation of your data's quality, helping you to rapidly identify issues. Make inline edits to quickly address any issues, rename columns, and use the scrollable mini map to easily traverse long lists.
