Possibilities of Oracle BI Cloud Service for Skanska Business Units
− Share solutions− Different Business Units that share the same Business
Stream can utilize Oracle BICS snapshots to share
solutions that have been developed locally in one Business
Unit, to another Business Unit utilizing Oracle BICS.
− Collaborate− A BI solution can be developed centrally and implemented
locally, to ensure a good baseline and/or commonality and
one version of analyzing the same information area.
− Flexibility and Cost efficiency− Business Units sharing the same Business Stream can use
the same Oracle BICS instance for their Analytic needs,
and share development costs for new requirements.
− BI platform is maintained and supported externally, no
need for internal infrastructure.
− Latest and (hopefully) greatest− We can leverage the latest functionality without painful and
costly upgrades.
