In effect, Oracle is "flipping the switch" and turning spatial into a product feature when such a capability is needed. It will be daunting to compete against this company.

Microsoft, beware… we haven't heard much about geospatial and SQL Server integration lately… you are in danger of becoming a non-player. And IBM continues to play with ESRI only, and resists striking out on its own in what could be a missed opportunity.

• Most BI data already contains geographic

dimension of analysis

• Deliver deeper analytical insights through

Spatial visualisation and data

• Increase the ROI of BI & GIS systems

• Different BI front-ends depending on data store

– Relational tools for relational databases, flat file, Excel, XML etc

– Multi Dimensional tools for OLAP databases

• Different tools, data, security, definitions, skills …

“Relational” style BI “Multi Dimensional” style BI

Problem with traditional BI ToolsRelational vs Multi Dimensional View


• “Relational” style

– Data appears as flat attributes

– Column based filtering

– Column based calculations

– Ideal for query and reporting

• “Multi Dimensional” style

– Data appears as dimensions

– Member based filtering

– Member based calculations

– Ideal for “train of thought“ analysis

Problem with traditional BI ToolsRelational vs Multi Dimensional View


• Multi Dimensional and Relational Style access

• Across any Data Dource

• Via a single Unified Interface, supporting multiple channels
