The transition from Oracle Business Intelligence Applications On-Premise to Oracle Analytics Cloud can be a challenging and rewarding initiative. 
This presentation will provide relevant information to anyone looking to transition from on-premise OBIA to OAC. The discussion will focus on the roles involved, including business intelligence analyst, ETL developer, and OBIA system admin/DBAs in the full solution lifecycle of an implementation including design, fit/gap analysis, build, test, implementation, and post go-live. 
The learning objective for attendees of this session will be to: (1) take away key differences in capabilities between OBIA on-prem and OBIA on OAC (2) understand the business considerations and cost/benefit analysis between on-premise OBIA and OBIA on OAC and (3) learn what work will be required to duplicate an OBIA on-premise solution in Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC), including fit-gap analysis, installation, training, and support. 
This session will cover all the practical questions and challenges that will arise when moving to OAC, such as: What is the total cost to consider of OAC vs. BICS versus OBIEE on-prem? What size of DBaaS will I need with BICS? What level of granularity should I move from on-prem to the cloud? Which is the best tool for data migration — ODI, Data Sync, or GoldenGate? Should all users move to OAC, and will I be able to migrate my existing licenses? Will I be able to do everything in OAC that I can do on-prem? What about RPD development and synchronization? In this presentation, we will explore answers to all these questions and explain our chosen solution. 
There are many important messages to be drawn from this presentation. The primary one is the business case for transitioning from a business intelligence solution built on internal infrastructure to a cloud-based solution. 
The information obtained from this presentation will be immediately impactful for anyone looking to implement OAC, whether they are in an executive position, DBA/system admin, ETL developer, dashboard/report developer, or functional business user, among others. 
The information presented in this session will be unique from other OAC sessions because it will focus on the implementation considerations rather than solely demonstrating the functionality in OAC and data visualization.
