Oracle Express Server / OFA - The Future
With the introduction of Express Server technology into the Oracle RDBMS database (in version Oracle 9i) the development of Oracle Express Server as a standalone product has now been completed (Express Server version 6.3.4). Both of the analytic applications based on Express Server (Oracle Financial Analyzer and Oracle Sales Analyzer) have had final release versions (6.4.0) synchronised with the final Express Server release. All future development of analytic applications will be based on the Oracle RDBMS database OLAP Option rather than Express Server.
With the acquisition of Siebel in 2005 and Hyperion in 2007, Oracle now also have an integrated Business Intelligence OLAP offering in the form of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (the old Siebel Analytics product) and Oracle Essbase (the old Hyperion Essbase OLAP product).
Oracle therefore have several analytic applications based on the latest OLAP technology that customer can consider as replacements for OFA or as standalone Business Intelligence solutions.
- Oracle Hyperion Essbase
- Oracle Hyperion Planning
- Oracle OLAP
- Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE)
- Oracle Enterprise Planning and Budgeting (EPB)
If you are an existing customer of Express Server applications, Rockport Software can provide the following services.
- Support for old versions of Express Server applications
- Upgrade paths to the final versions of Express Server applications
- Advice and assistance for upgrading existing solutions to the next generation technology
- Implementations of Oracle OLAP business Intelligence applications (RDBMS, OBIEE, Essbase, Hyperion Planning)
Existing customers still have time to consider the future direction of their existing Express Server Applications. Oracle Financial Analyzer (OFA) and Oracle Sales Analyzer (OSA) 6.4 will continue to have Error Correction Support until 31 Dec 2009, and Extended Support until 31 Dec 2010 (as of October 2007).
