Spotting Opportunity
Warehouse Builder
Prospects
Look for IT drivers such as:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Oracle database culture
Advanced knowledge of Oracle database technologies
Understanding of Oracle database power
Leverage the Oracle infrastructure
Homegrown ETL causing maintenance issues
Price pressure / Cost reductions
Prospects
Look for business drivers such as:
• Data growth, shrinking batch windows, GRID computing
• Lack of Information Quality
• Business agility: how long it takes to add a new domain or
dimension to the Data Warehouse, to get a new application to
exchange data with the others, to change a transformation
rule, etc.
• Compliance: understand the flows of data, data lineage,
execution audit trails, etc.
• External sources: assess quality, assess completeness,
monitor compliance, etc.
Opportunity- DWH and “MDM” projects
• Oracle BI&DW
• Selling Oracle ETL over Oracle database
• Selling Oracle BI over Oracle databases
• Now: Direct link with Oracle BI SE
• Future: Direct link with Oracle BI EE
• Master Data Management projects
• Position OWB as the Information Quality enabler in current
MDM-like deals
• Position OWB as the ETL component in current Oracle MDMlike deals
Opportunity- ETL projects
• New Solutions
• Use the “first piece is free” angle
• Position options and connectors to grow
• Custom ETL Solutions (PL/SQL)
• Solve manageability problems
• Augment at first, replace later
• Build new ETL with OWB, embed legacy ETL in OWB
• External ETL Solutions
• Migration opportunities

Oracle Data Integrator
Opportunity- BI and DI solutions
• “Heterogeneous BI”
• Selling BI tools over non-Oracle database
• Oracle DI provides ETL solution for custom-built data
warehouse
• Integration Platform
• Consolidating tooling and skills for everything related to data
movement and transformation
• Replace mix of manual homegrown code and ETL software
Opportunity- ETL solutions
• ETL RFI
• Where there’s ETL there’s BI
• ETL Replacement
• Solve performance and cost issues
• Focus on solving the problem loads and establishing an initial
presence
