Many Organizations are taking steps towards becoming more “Data-Driven”. If you are running OBIEE 11g or OBIEE 12c, it may be time to upgrade. There are some obvious technical reasons to upgrade and some competitive reasons.
The obvious reasons are:
There are competitive advantages to having a “Modern Information Architecture.” From a workload perspective a Modern Information Architecture enables organizations to “Work Smarter, not Harder.” To be more competitive, many organizations are consolidating tasks and maximizing related efforts to reduces overall cost. Most organizations understand that in order to maximize the potential of ”data as an asset”, there is need to harness the power of advanced analytics. To have the opportunity to achieve advance analytics many organizations need to modernize Information Architecture. We define “Information Architecture” as how information flows throughout the whole organization: it's interested in where the data comes from, why and how data transforms into information.
Here are characteristics of a “Modernize Information Architecture”
To summarize, its all about the Data and COO (cost of ownership). This is why the focus is on how do we maximize our data analytics and what does it take to sustain the infrastructure.
Why upgrade to Oracle Analytics OAS/OAC:

If you are not ready to move to the cloud you can upgrade and remain on premises with your hardware. Here are some reasons why customers are choosing to move to the cloud:
Here are some reasons why organizations are remaining on premises and using OAS:
According to a recent McKinsey survey, ”fewer than 20 percent of organizations have maximized the potential and achieved AA (Advanced Analytics) at scale.”
“Data and analytics are already shaking up multiple industries, and the effects will only become more pronounced as adoption reaches critical mass—and as machines gain unprecedented capabilities to solve problems and understand language. Organizations that can harness these capabilities effectively will be able to create significant value and differentiate themselves, while others will find themselves increasingly at a disadvantage.”
Upgrading to OAS/OAC is an early step along the way of moving an organization towards being “Data Driven."
