  2. State of OBIEE Customers Frustrated with OBIEE shortcomings

  3. State of OBIEE Customers Business users are adopting Tableau

  4. State of OBIEE Customers Latest Visualization Data Blending Data Wrangling Speed of Change Like-for-like replacement Searching for an ideal solution

  5. Does Tableau meet this lofty goal?

  6. First, Let us look at OBIEE’s Strengths Metadata Repository aka RPD! Also its Achilles’ heel.

  7. The RPD Advantage Common Enterprise Model OBIEE Presentation Layer Presentation Layer Business Model & Mapping Layer Business Model & Mapping Layer Physical Layer OBIEE Physical Layer

  8. The RPD Advantage Well suited for IT led projects

  9. The RPD Advantage Great for traditional waterfall model DESIGN DEVELOP TEST DEPLOY

  10. Well Defined Security Model

  11. Other Advantages

  12. Other Advantages Good for enterprise dashboards • standardized dimensions, filters, and metrics • Well suited for a significant portion of enterprise data Picture of OBIEE RPD

  13. OBIEE’s Weakness: Speed of Change • IT centered • Add new data source? Wait for weeks/months  Business groups build their own offline datamarts Speed of Change

  14. BIG DATA Lack of Mash-up/Blending • Not possible with OBIEE 11g. • Limited with OBIEE 12c, only with Excel. • Requires additional license. OBIEE New Insights Not possible with OBIEE SQL Blend/Mash-up

  15. Lack of Modern Visualization Visualization Too Many Clicks Steep learning curve OBIEE subject areas only Visual Analyzer Too little Too late More cost

  16. Can you overcome these challenges by replacing OBIEE with Tableau?

  17. Let’s look at Tableau’s Strengths Tableau succeeds where OBIEE fails I❤ Tableau Data discovery Speed of Change Quick to learn Mash-ups Visualization ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓

  18. Is Tableau a like-for-like replacement? OBIEE and Tableau are fundamentally different tools Like-for-like replacement is lengthy, difficult, and expensive approach. Designed and used for different reasons

  19. Handling Complex Data Models • OBIEE RPD can centrally handle complex data model • Joins hundreds of tables • Hundreds of columns in a subject area • Complex business logic built-in There is no equivalent to this in Tableau Challenging beyond 25+ tables and 16+ text columns

  20. Reports Hundreds/thousands of reports created over several years • Manual redevelopment • Time consuming • Expensive

  21. Other Factors To Consider Cost New Updates Changing requirements Development Team Majority of BI replacement projects are never ever 100% complete

  22. So, let us revisit the current state IT BUSINESS USERS • Business users love Tableau • Purchased Tableau desktop and server licenses for department use • Download OBIEE data and upload via excel into Tableau • data duplication issues • security issues • system of record issues. has invested years and millions into building out the OBIEE RPD, reports and dashboards. What should you do next?

  23. So what should customers do? Recognize the fact there is a need for two kinds of BI tools Data discovery OBIEE Slowly changing requirements Visualization Large data models Mashups Strong security model TABLEAU “Transient” data Enterprise dashboards Self-service BI What is the alternative to replacement? Is download and upload the best long term solution?

  24. What is the Ideal Solution? Bring together the best of both worlds! OBIEE TABLEAU

  25. What is the Ideal Solution? Connect from Tableau to OBIEE. Reuse OBIEE data model, connect live to it and build Tableau visualizations on top of it. Blend external data with OBIEE data. Reuse OBIEE security rules. Repurpose huge investment in OBIEE + Benefits of Tableau.

  26. Introducing BI Connector • No Changes to OBIEE, Reuse OBIEE business logic  Cost and Time savings Secured by OBIEE security model • Easy Installation, Information Consistency • Best of Tableau + OBIEE Seamless User Experience Presentation Layer Business Model & Mapping Layer Physical Layer OBIEE OBIEE TABLEAU
