What Cloud Means for Packaged Analytics 1. Companies need enterprise data warehousing solutions more than ever Key enterprise data spread over more systems, on premise and in the cloud Enterprise BI semantic model provides only consolidated view of the business In the next 5+ years the majority of these efforts will remain on premise 2. Companies need pre-built analytics supporting their Cloud applications Real-time operational analytics and reporting fills majority of requirements Embedded analytics require dedicated data mart for more complex calculations such as cycle times, aggregate trend metrics, KPIs Extensibility and configurability via web-based wizards is critically important Advanced configuration/customization use cases are not as important 45
Goal Priority #1: Cloud Adapters Oracle Analytic Applications Ensure BI Applications on premise increases its appeal as a foundation for enterprise data warehousing by supporting sourcing of information from cloud applications Product OBIA Oracle BI Applications Pre-built analytics for EBS, PSFT, Siebel, JDE, Fusion, SAP, IBM Maximo Add ETL adapters to cloud-based applications Planned: Fusion Public Cloud - support common coexistence scenarios Rely on partners for third party adapters such as Salesforce.com, WorkDay Protect existing customers investments in Oracle BI Continue build out of content & adapters for Apps Unlimited systems Futures Adapters to Taleo, Rightnow, and other new Oracle Public Cloud offerings 46
Goal Priority #2: Pre-Built Analytics in the Cloud Oracle Analytic Applications Ensure pre-built analytics supporting Oracle s cloud-based applications are complete and easy to configure and extend Product Futures 1. OTBI Oracle Fusion Transactional Business Intelligence (Available Today) Real-time operational analytics and reports built with OBIEE Broad coverage over all Fusion Applications families Supports embedded analytics 2. OBIA Oracle BI Applications (Available On Premise, Planned for Cloud) Rich, more aggregated analytical dashboards built with star schemas Easy to configure version of existing OBIA product deployed in the cloud Initially - limited customizability or support for other data sources Supports embedded analytics with Fusion Applications Automatic coverage for data model extensions, support for non-cloud sources 47

Executives rarely see the magnitude of overall spend that these [indirect] categories represent. When looked at individually, the dollar amount of indirect spending in each department seems insignificant when compared to raw materials. But, when added together, they can account for hundreds of millions of dollars. Robert Brust Former Sprint CIO Business Finance Magazine. February 2012 51
Oracle Spend Planning Control and Optimize Indirect Spend Spend Planning enables procurement teams to forecast indirect spend, and use packaged what-if modeling tools to reduce spend Lines of business can use Spend Planning to quickly project future purchases that align with budgets, and develop multiple scenarios using different driver assumptions 52
Oracle Spend Planning Extend Value of OBIA Investment Pervasive context from BI helps planners make better decisions about supplier allocations Integration to Oracle ERP business rules means more accurate plans based on realworld constraints Leverages existing Procurement & Spending Analytics data model and ETLs 53
