Oracle Openworld may have San Francisco and the Moscone Center but you can’t beat Liverpool and the wind whipping in-off the Mersey in early December, and so we’re very pleased to be presenting once again at the UK Oracle User Group Technology Conference & Exhibition running next week at the Liverpool ACC, December 3rd-5th 2018.

Mark Rittman is presenting two sessions on Oracle’s new autonomous analytics and data warehousing platforms:

• “Planning a Strategy for Autonomous Analytics & Data Warehouse Cloud”, Monday 3rd December 2:30 PM - 3:15 PM in Room 13

• ”As Oracle Analytics and Data Warehousing becomes self-driving and autonomous, the need for a strategy within your BI function becomes all the more important. How you deliver BI content to your users, the skills your developers now need and the most efficient way to manage your cloud estate are vital components of an autonomous cloud analytics strategy; this session will explain what’s changed, what’s significant and what are the implications of that change.By reference to today’s Oracle BI technology and applications and explaining how they now run autonomously as services in Oracle Cloud we’ll cover what are the key changes and its implications, what this means in terms of budgets and planning your investment, what are the key technology and process changes, what this means for team resourcing and roles - and just as importantly, what can be safely ignored for now.”

• “BI Developer to Data Engineer with Oracle Analytics Cloud Data Lake Edition”, Tuesday 4th December 12:35 PM - 1:20 PM Room 11A

• ”In this session, we'll look at the role of the data engineer in designing, provisioning, and enabling an Oracle Cloud data lake using Oracle Analytics Cloud Data Lake Edition. We’ll also examine the use of data flow and data pipeline authoring tools and how machine learning and AI can be applied to this task. Furthermore, we’ll explore connecting to database and SaaS sources along with sources of external data via Oracle Data-as-a-Service. Finally we’ll delve into how traditional Oracle Analytics developers can transition their skills into this role and start working as data engineers on Oracle Public Cloud data lake projects.”
