A LEADING EDUCATIONAL ESTABLISHMENT

Extensive OBIEE Finance Support and Development for a Leading Educational Establishment

Customer Background

A Leading Educational Establishment Strengthening Its Financial Reporting

A leading educational establishment relies on Oracle Business Intelligence (OBIEE) for its finance and operational reporting. As the institution grew, its reporting estate, a large library of dashboards and BI Publisher reports serving finance and administrative teams, became increasingly central to day-to-day decisions and needed to stay accurate, current, and dependable.

The institution engaged DataTerrain for ongoing OBIEE support and development. Over a relationship spanning more than five years, DataTerrain has maintained and enhanced the environment, resolving metadata (RPD) issues, enhancing dashboards and reports, and validating every change, on Oracle BI EE 12.2.1.4 running against an Oracle 19c database.
