Oracle’s Retail Insights Solution

Retail Insights starts with customer and merchandising data. It embraces existing corporate data sources, and it integrates with Oracle Retail solutions to increase effectiveness across the entire merchandising life cycle. Retail Insights can integrate with Oracle applications, as well as applications from other vendors. It can be implemented alone, or integrated with other applications, to accommodate each retailer's unique information needs and applications environment. The prebuilt nature of the solution allows you to achieve fast time to value, by reducing deployment time and helping to lower total cost of ownership.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Merchandise Insights: merchandising-specific business intelligence module of the Retail Insights application. It provides insight to critical performance indicators such as item sales, store performance, markdowns, inventory turns, sales and profit trends, and current and potential out-of-stocks. Merchandise Insights dashboards provide the ability to act on those insights. They enable you to order more stock, reallocate merchandise, or begin a promotion, triggered by metric thresholds.
• Customer Insights: In an end-to-end Oracle Cloud implementation, the primary source of information for Customer Insights subject areas is the Customer Engagement Cloud Service. CE accounts for the customer, segment, and loyalty information that drives much of the dimensional data used in this module. CE does not provide sales information and it is assumed that Sales Audit or another system is still used to provide that data. Customer Insights data can also be supplemented with external data using flexible fact interfaces and financial plan interfaces.
• Consumer Insights: enables you to perform analysis of consumers and consumer segments, using data provided by Oracle Data Cloud (ODC). RI provides ways to load enriched customer attributes which ODC sends to your CRM, allowing for a greater understanding of your customer base. RI can also receive information about prospective customers from the larger pool of consumers in ODC. These consumers are selected using your own customer base as a way to identify others who are likely to shop at your business.

These systems help organizations in maintaining secure, conformed, and highly available data for all levels of users, from top-level executives who make decisions based on corporate-level information to managers and analysts who analyze their areas and take actions based on their findings. Business intelligence is built using several processes, and applications that maintain these processes, using the latest tools and technologies. One of the main components of business intelligence is a data warehouse. A data warehouse is the repository that stores data extracted from multiple source systems, modeled to perform for both data loading, reporting, and ad hoc analysis needs.

Oracle's Retail Home

Retail Home is a role-based, web portal for the retail enterprise and a user's launch pad to data and supporting solutions most relevant to their role: buyer, planner, inventory analyst, promotional manager, to name just a few. If you purchased Oracle Retail Insights as part of your Oracle Retail subscription, it comes populated with thousands of pre-integrated metrics. But even without Retail Insights, it can be used as a launch point for your users for your Merchandising cloud services, as well as other Oracle Retail or legacy applications.

Oracle’s Autonomuos Database

IT leaders must modernize enterprise computing by transitioning it to a cloud based model and do more with less. The migration must improve protection from cyber-attacks without threatening the stability and availability of mission-critical workloads. To truly deliver transformational change, the cloud transition must include both existing and new applications. Public cloud is a key component of the transformation but migrating the entire estate to the public cloud is usually not realistic. Yet cost savings and agility improvements from a cloud transformation must be achieved immediately, not over decades. Oracle’s Autonomous Database uniquely enables this transformation by providing a new era of data management that is available in both a public cloud and on-premises choice.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Oracle Autonomous Database combines the flexibility of cloud with the power of machine learning to deliver data management as a service. It enables businesses to:
• Safely run mission-critical workloads using the most secure, available, performant, and proven platform - Oracle Database on Exadata
• Migrate both new and existing OLTP or Analytics applications
• Deploy in both the Oracle Public Cloud and on Cloud@Customer in a consumer’s own data centers, providing the easiest and safest cloud migration and hybrid cloud enablement
• Cut administration costs up to 80% with full automation of operations and tuning
• Cut runtime costs up to 90% by billing only for resources needed at any given time
• Protect themselves from cyber-attacks and rogue employees by automatically encrypting all data and automatically applying any needed security updates online

Guarantee 99.995% uptime to ensure mission-critical applications are always available. For worst case scenarios and including planned maintenance, downtime is limited to under 2.5 minutes per month and is most commonly a zero downtime experience.
