Oracle Business Analytics Update

Last week I visited the Oracle Business Analytics Partner Update at Oracle NL in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The NL (Pre-) Sales gave us an update of the Oracle Analytics Roadmap. There is a lot of movement in the world of Oracle Analytics. I have written about the publications during Oracle Open World 2014. When we look back at 2014; “Year in Review – Oracle Business Analytics in 2014“, we can see that there are a few subjects key; Big Data, Cloud.
