Your Personal BI Assistant – Oracle Day by Day

I was attending Live OPN PartnerCast in May 2017, where I heard for the first time about "Oracle Day by Day" (pardon my ignorance) and I was totally fascinated at what I learnt.
It is the age of Siri, Cortana or Google Assistant and who does not like to have a personal assistant? Imagine you are a Mid or Senior Level Executive and you need to make strategic (long term) or operational (day to day) decisions. Would it not be great if you have a personal assistant who would help you with these Business Intelligence decisions?

         

Let's take the case of a Customer Support Manager in Europe (courtesy: Oracle Open World 2016), who is on the train to his work and gets a slack notification on his cell "Pre-Orders exceed forecast in Europe!".

On going to the slack channel he finds that Pre-Orders of VR1 Headset is exceeding the Forecast by 20%, and it also makes some recommendations on the analytics.

When the Manager clicks on the Report, it takes him to "Oracle Day by Day" i.e. Smart Feed Analytics, which pushes a list of cards with personalized analytics throughout the day. And the cool part is that he can actually verbally ask questions like "Show Pre-Orders versus forecast for VR headsets in Europe".

And it gets him the analysis, just like that.

He can add this to his calendar to give him a reminder on every Monday to look into the analysis.

Next, he shares the same analysis with his team so that they can discuss it on coming Monday.

He also travels to Italy often to meet his Sales team there. So he has said "Oracle Day by Day" to bring up certain analysis whenever he visits Italy.

Using the phones location the app provides the analysis.

Now coming to installing "Oracle Day by Day" on your phone::
Search for "Oracle Day by Day" on Google Play Store / Apple App Store and install it.

Once the App is installed and you open it for the 1st time, it will ask for an OBIEE URL. Give the URL along your credentials, and you are all set to go mobile with your personal BI Assistant.

Meet you next time, may be with some more fascinating Mobile BI insights.

Thanks  and happy reading.
