Oracle has reestablished its position in the business intelligence (BI) and analytics (CS) market with significant upgrades and adjustments to its product lineup, simplified pricing, and embracing transparency by openly sharing its analytics CS roadmap. In 2019, the revamp created a unified platform with three products: Oracle Analytic Cloud, Oracle Fusion Analytics, and Oracle Analytic Server. Oracle Analytic Cloud provides BI and analytics capabilities in Oracle Cloud. Oracle Fusion Analytics, previously known as Oracle Analytic for Applications, is built on top of Oracle Analytic Cloud and adds pre-built data warehouses and analytics content for Oracle Fusion SaaS applications, starting with Oracle Fusion ERP Analytic and Oracle Fusion HCM Analytic. Oracle Analytic Server is the third part of the Oracle Analytic platform, but this report mainly focuses on Oracle Analytic Cloud and Oracle Fusion Analytics, which are the most forward-looking elements of the platform. The report identifies key differentiating capabilities, examines features, considers the strengths and weaknesses of the products, and provides use cases. Technology buyers should use this report to evaluate the implementation of Oracle Analytic.
