This Data Intelligence platform architecture leverages the latest Oracle technologies, streamlining data pipelines and reporting processes, ensuring both efficiency and accuracy. With advanced machine learning capabilities, it allows organizations to uncover valuable insights from their data, automate complex tasks, and enhance decision-making. This integration not only simplifies data management but also empowers users to tap into predictive analytics, driving more informed business strategies and fostering a data-driven culture throughout the organization. This platform provides pre-built analytics for the above-mentioned Oracle cloud applications with KPI's, dashboards, data pipelines with the ability for the customers to add their own analytics from other Oracle applications and select 3rd party applications (oracle & non-oracle). 

Uses OAC and ADW

Oracle Analytics Cloud and Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse work together to help businesses make better use of their data. OAC offers user-friendly self-service analytics and built-in machine learning, enabling users to generate insights without technical skills. The Autonomous Datawarehouse complements this with self-driving, self-securing, and self-repairing features, reducing manual management tasks. Together, they create a seamless analytics environment with native connectivity and automated optimization, delivering faster insights, lower IT costs, and enhanced decision-making.

Data Augmentation and Data Extensibility  

The data intelligence platform comes with Data Augmentation and Data Extensibility capabilities. These features help businesses improve and customize their data, leading to better insights and more personalized analysis. In the data intelligence platform, The Oracle Managed and Customer Managed models can seamlessly coexist, offering flexibility for users. This solution provides a unified reporting platform that integrates both out-of-the-box (OOTB) and the custom data from both on-premises systems or cloud applications. You can create new models using a semantic framework, making it easy to tailor insights to your needs. Additionally, you have the option to extend Oracle Content or integrate your own custom models, ensuring that your analytics environment is fully aligned with your organization’s unique requirements and goals. This hybrid approach fosters innovation and agility, empowering teams to make informed decisions quickly and effectively.

Security

Data Intelligence platform security is integrated with Identity Management in OCI. It has the capability to implement Role-based access control (RBAC), Data-level security. Sensitive data can also be encrypted using different encryption methodologies.

Another feature is the Audit trails and logging. These are crucial components of the Data Intelligence security, providing visibility into user activities and system events. Audit trail features User Activity tracking, Change logging and System event logging. Audit trails and logging in this platform not only enhance security but also provide valuable insights for troubleshooting, performance optimization, and ensuring regulatory compliance.  

Maintenance

Oracle maintains the Data Intelligence platform through a comprehensive approach that includes regular updates, security enhancements, and performance monitoring. They provide routine updates and patches to ensure the platform remains secure and up to date with the latest features.
