Nothing lasts forever.
Technology changes are fast and frequent. New features become available, new operating systems are released, and the market shifts. The older a product gets, the fewer support features are available to it.
Rittman Mead are helping organisations around the world build frameworks and methodologies for harnessing data to create value. By providing a data-focused roadmap, we’ll help you implement business-centric data management and analytics systems, so you can gain a competitive advantage in your industry.
Existing OBIEE customers are automatically licensed for OAS, meaning organisations can immediately take advantage of the new data exploration, visualisation and machine learning features. If you want to move to Oracle’s cloud and run OAC; you can either license OAC directly or use Oracle’s Bring Your Own Licensing (BYOL) model to take advantage of the investment you have already made in OBIEE.
Migration is not for everyone. The best option for your business may be to keep running OBIEE as-is. Rittman Mead’s Expert Service Desk can provide flexible and cost-effective ad-hoc consultancy, support and expertise to extend the life and usefulness of the platform. You can combine this with our world-class OBIEE training that covers system administrators, developers and end users to ensure that the communities using the system get the most from it.
We appreciate your corporate direction may be to move to a competitor cloud, like Azure. If this is the case, we can help you understand how the system is currently used, understand the lineage and business logic encapsulated in the semantic layer and provide expertise and advice on migrating to other tools like Power BI and Tableau.
OBIEE is undoubtedly getting towards the end of its life. We think there are a number of reasons why you may need to consider a move:
Rittman Mead offers a free assessment to help you establish a business case, set the scope, determine the acceptance criteria and produce a plan.
Rittman Mead’s fixed-price OAS upgrade service gives organisations a risk-free and cost-effective way of moving from OBIEE to OAS with a focus on implementation excellence.
