[OKC JUG] OBIEE

[Ivan Zhidov]

I haven't had direct experience with OBIEE just Oracle Enterprise and 
RAC. Some things you should consider is up front and back end costs 
because its likely you will need their professional services or 
consultants to get it deployed and functional for your organization. 
Typical sales pitch is designed to get their foot in the door and keep 
you hooked while adding more costs. You should ask for some form of TCO, 
total cost of ownership although I don't really know if they can provide 
it realistically without knowing your requirements.

You can look at alternatives such as LogiXML, MicroStrategy, Tableau, 
Pentaho and SpagoBI.

Either way it's likely you will need to find external BI expert.

BTW How did you previous Java project go, the one you were asking about 
some time ago?
