How UK Public Sector Used FDMEE and ODI to Get the Most out of Its Investment
Ray Fevrier, Edgewater Ranzal; Mike Casey, Oracle Corporation

With so many integration products available (ODI, FDMEE, DRM, and Essbase Studio, to name a few), if you are a client or Solution Architect considering a new project, deciding how to position these products may seem like a daunting task. Oracle wants FDMEE to be the tool of choice; however, FDMEE can’t always do the work alone. While new and exciting features were added to FDMEE 11.1.2.4, there will be circumstances where you have to use a combination of tools to get the job done. 

In this session, I will:

  • Provide users with FDMEE product update (by Mike Casey, Oracle Product Management)
  • Go over the options, some key product functionalities, and best practices
  • Touch on the Restricted Use License (RUL) of ODI that is installed with FDMEE
  • Through a real-world case study, demonstrate how a council in the UK is using FDMEE and ODI to load Planning Smart Lists

Rather than wade through syntax diagrams, let's spend a session solving what used to be considered complex problems, now made simple with the power of Analytics.

Oracle ACE Scott Wesley will interview Oracle Developer Advocate Connor McDonald on how to get the best out the Analytic SQL facilities.
