Oracle BI is a highly scalable, manageable, configurable, extendable and easy to use platform that is well suited for both cloud and non-cloud deployments. Oracle BI’s web services based SOA architecture, metadata based design, standards based security integration, common federated access to multiple data sources and common systems management capabilities make it a good fit for both cloud and non cloud type deployments. Organizations must carefully evaluate their system requirements before deciding on a cloud or non cloud deployment model but either way Oracle BI’s scalable and flexible modern design makes a good fit for any business intelligence system.
