Business Intelligence System (BIS) Products

Business Intelligence System (BIS) Products

Business Intelligence System is a decision support solution integrated with Oracle
Applications. Using the BIS products, a manager can query the Oracle Applications
database to monitor recent business performance across multiple organizations. For
example, a manager can set a sales goal and then use BIS to determine how close
actual sales amounts are to the goal. A manager can set tolerances and have the
system inform people when those tolerances are exceeded. With the BIS
Performance Manager Framework, some corrective actions can be performed
automatically. If, for example, sales actual amounts are more than 10% below goals,
BIS can send automatic notifications to regional sales managers.
BIS ERP and CRM products do not use the Forms server or Forms client. Instead,
BIS products use the Oracle Discoverer server and Oracle Reports server on the

application tier. A Java applet running on desktop client communicates with the
HTTP server, which connects to the Discoverer server or Reports server. The
Discoverer server provides ad hoc analysis; the Reports server supports data
analysis and ad hoc queries, often using summary tables such as monthly
aggregates of data, and returns them to the browser. The desktop browser initiates
the request, the HTML server passes the request to the Discoverer or Reports server,
and the Discoverer or Reports server gathers the data and returns it to the browser
as HTML.
