Oracle Business Intelligence
Proven, leading BI technology priced and packaged
for growing companies
Overview

capabilities into your existing Oracle
®
Database environment.

tested hardware/software configurations.
• Reduce total cost of ownership with tested and
validated configurations for building, deploying,

Growing companies face an ever more dynamic and
competitive marketplace, placing high importance on
fast, reliable access to business intelligence. It is the
key to enhancing knowledge and decision-making
across your organization—uncovering market trends
and patterns in customer behavior, revealing opportunities
for improving your product or service offerings, and
exposing weaknesses in your competitors. But the
time and expense associated with most business
intelligence solutions are often too great when you
have limited resources.
What you need is a simpler approach to business
intelligence—one that shortens the deployment
timeframe and reduces the cost, yet leaves plenty of
room to grow as your needs expand. HP and Oracle
have a simple set of solutions designed to do just that.
Working together with growing businesses like yours
all around the world, we’ve assembled the ideal
combination of software and hardware to deliver
business intelligence solutions that you can afford
today and grow with into the future.

storage. For BI implementations on servers with one
or two sockets, Oracle BI Standard Edition One
provides a complete, integrated BI system designed
for deployments up to 50 users. It includes proven,
leading BI and data warehousing technology, including
Oracle Interactive Dashboards, Oracle BI Publisher
