ACEs in Action: Recent Headlines
Gartner Peer Insights
Calling all the Oracle Analytics Community of customers, users, partners, data storytellers, and everyone in between! Your feedback guides us! Please share your experience using Oracle Analytics with an anonymous product review via Gartner Peer Insights. The following products are applicable for review; OAC, OAS, and OBIEE.

Partners, please share your Oracle Analytics experience with a G2 review, as Gartner Peer Insights is structured solely for reviews from customers. A review from a partner will be denied if provided to Gartner Peer Insights.

Points will be awarded to members of the Oracle ACE Program per review.
Webcasts and Webinars
Location matters! Map visualization for APEX developers
Location Data, visualized on a map, is a common requirement for application developers these days. Of course, this is also true for APEX apps: But what's the best way of creating them? In this session, you'll learn everything about the Oracle Maps technology and how to use it in APEX applications.

The Analytics and Data Oracle User Community's bi-weekly TechCasts continue every other Thursday.
