    capability, BI Cloud Service enables users to create new analyses from

    Dynamic Dashboards - The starting point for analysis and insight, BI Cloud

    Service empowers users to quickly and easily create interactive dashboards

    and reports with a rich variety of visualizations. Users can drill, pivot, and filter

    their data directly on a dashboard, while a comprehensive set of prompts and

    powerful right-click interactions offer even more advanced analysis

    capabilities. With so many visualizations available, the Auto-suggest feature

    will recommend the best option for particular queries.

    Instant Mobile

    Mobile access shouldnt take extra effort. BI Cloud Service enables mobile analytics on

    any Android or iOS device with no extra development or configuration. Users can

    download the Oracle Bl Mobile app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store

    and have instant access to dashboards, analyses, reports, and more, securely, via a full

    range of touch gestures. There is also off-line access, complete with fine-grained

    security.

    Simple, Secure Collaboration

    Sharing insights is the quickest way to create transparency and drive change, and

    security is an essential part of collaboration, allowing the business to extend analytics

    further into the organization without compromising governance. Users can easily share

    work in progress or finished dashboards and applications, with the knowledge that fine-

    grained controls mean people only see content appropriate to them, even if the original

    analysis includes data outside their scope.

    Easy Data Loading

    BI Cloud Service makes it fast and easy for users to import files and start their analysis

    right away. The web-based File Loader enables users to import data from multiple

    sources, no matter their location, allowing users to quickly combine different data sets.

    Oracle Database Schema Service

    Market Leading Oracle Database

    Integrated with BI Cloud Service, Oracle Database Schema Service delivers all the

    power of the Oracle Database in the cloud. Oracle Database Cloud Service includes

    multiple data loading tools, RESTful Web Services, the Oracle Application Express

    proven development environment, and full SQL and PL/SQL support. BI Cloud Service

    integrates this rich functionality for comprehensive data import and easy data access,

    and to provide rich options for extending the breadth and depth of analysis.

    Figure 2. Oracle Application Express

    Robust Data Integration

    BI Cloud Service enables organizations to integrate information from a wide variety of

    systems, including on-premises and other cloud solutions, through rich data integration

    options:

    SQL Developer for interactive data loading and administration

    PL/SQL web services data import

    REST API to define custom programming interfaces

    This allows organizations to integrate information into their analytics from on-premises

    systems, as well as from other cloud solutions and 3rd party applications. Regardless of

    source, the data is presented in a single semantic layer, meaning users don't have to

    know anything about the underlying data structure to quickly create meaningful BI

    applications. The semantic layer also propagates consistent definitions across the

    enterprise, supporting corporate governance and data stewardship.

    Streamlined Operations & Lower Costs

    Oracle handles all patching, configuration, and maintenance work for BI Cloud Service,

    which is high availability, highly secure, and offers total backup and restore. In addition,

    simple self-service administration allows organizations to control the schedule for data

    updates and rolling out new applications. Having an enterprise-class solution delivered

    with simplicity and reliability of the cloud helps reduce the burden on IT and streamline

    operations. And it's all available for a predictable low monthly subscription.
