G o o dP i pe tti n g P ra c ti c ePart of the GPP -Tip loading and tip ejection Loading a tip on the end of a pipette and subsequently ejecting it at the end of the pipetting cycle are very closely linked and constitute some of the heaviest forces associated with pipetting. With most pipetting systems the design of the distal end of the pipette is conical in shape. The process of loading the tip on the pipette requires a certain amount of force to ensure an adequate seal of the system – too little force and there is a risk of leakage and volumetric error. User technique for tip loading can vary as there is no clear way to know when enough force had been used to seal the system. Typically a user will adopt a technique that provides reasonable assurance that the tip has sealed and will stay with that technique for most of their working life. Unfortunately, for traditional conical tip systems, there is a strong correlation between the amount of force needed to load the tip and the amount of force required to eject it, so for those who adopt a technique that uses high force to add the tip, a high force will be required to eject it (see Figure 1, red line).In the paper by Lichty et al,6 a number of different manufacturer’s pipettes are reviewed and force measurements compiled for plunger forces and tip ejection forces. It is clear that tip ejection forces are the most significant force associated with the many steps involved in pipetting, but there is great variation in tip ejection forces between pipettes (See Figure 2).Figure 1 The relationship between tip loading and ejection forces – a traditional conical tip compared with a Rainin LTS tip.2Tip Ejection Forces at Increasing Tip Loading Forces Brand X Traditional Tip vs. Rainin LTS Insertion Force (kg)E j e c t i o n F o r c e (k g ) 4.03.02.01.00.00.0 5.0 10.0 15.0Rainin LTS Tip, 250 µL Brand X Tip, 250 µLRainin solved this problem with LiteTouch System (LTS) of pipettes and tips (See Figure3). Here both the distal end of the pipette and the inside of the tip have a closely matchedcylindrical surface. LTS tips also have a sealing system close to the entry point and a hard stop end point inside the tip. The end stop prevents the shaft from being pushed further into the tip with increased force. This strictly limits the maximum sealing force, while still guaranteeing that there will be no leakage. A strict limit on sealing force ensures a minimal ejection force (See Figure 1). This unique yet simple design provides a tool that significantly reduces one of the major sources of muscle fatigue and causes of RSI for pipettors.Figure 2Comparison of tip ejection forces from four popular pipettes. The maximum recommendedthumb exertion force is 2.1 kgf for females and 3.0 kgf for males.2Figure 3Mechanics of Rainin LTS tip sealing system compared to traditionalconical tip sealing systemsTraditional Large seal Conical Friction fit LTSSmall sealCylindricalPositive Stop34Plunger forcesThe plunger system of manual pipettes constitutes the second area of ergonomic interest to the user where repetitive tasks can influence the outcome of RSI’s. After tip insertion, pressing the plunger down to the first stop against the stroke spring (See Figure 4) prepares the pipette/tip system for aspiration. A clear distinctive first stop is critical in that it defines the distance needed to move the plunger and aspirate the desired volume.Mechanically, this first stop is created by the plunger hitting a stiffer pre-loaded blowout spring that has greater resistance than the stroke spring. After the plunger is pressed down to the first stop, the tip is inserted into the solution and the plunger slowly released to aspirate. The stroke spring performs the aspiration by pushing the plunger back up to the home position. The sample is dispensed at the last step – pushing the plunger down against the force of the stroke spring, through the first stop position and then against the force of the blow-out spring to remove all of the liquid. With all liquid dispensed, the plunger is released and returns back to the home position.In the paper by Lichty,6 blow-out forces are the second largest force in the process of pipetting (after tip ejection forces) and stroke spring forces the smallest.Figure 4Pressing manual pipette plunger to show home position (start dispense), first stop (full dispense) and second stop (blowout)“Home“Position First Stop Second StopAn important aspect of the forces in this process is the internal piston seal system (Figure 5).The seal produces a partial vacuum that enables liquid to be drawn into the tip as the pistonmoves up the shaft. The seal system must be tight and strong enough to hold the vacuumrequired for the entire operating range of the pipette. If the seal is too tight the force requiredto push the plunger down and then return it to the home position will be excessive. If the sealis relatively loose, the forces required to move the plunger back and forth will be less, but thepotential for leakage increases.PistonPiston springSeal retainerSealO-ringFigure 5Sealing system in manual pipettesFor manufacturers of pipettes there is a balance between the seal design and the stroke springforces that must be considered in order to meet both the technical needs for accurate pipettingand the individual user’s need for an ergonomic solution. This challenge is met differently byvarious manufacturers, resulting in variable plunger forces (See Figure 6).Figure 6Comparison of plunger forces from four popular pipettes. The maximum recommended thumb exertion force is2.1 kgf for females and3.0 kgf for males2 *New Pipet-Lite XLS reduces plunger forces by up to 43%5Rainin developed high precision, low friction seals to help reduce stroke spring plunger forces.These seals require minimal force to move while maintaining a vacuum, which allows for alighter stroke spring. A lighter stroke spring allows for a lighter blow-out spring, because thedifference in spring forces defines the first stop. Thus blow-out forces are reduced as well.Ultimately, the best solution for avoiding plunger forces is to use an electronic pipette, where amicroprocessor-controlled motor moves the plunger, resulting in near zero plunger forces. Thiscan be particularly helpful with multichannel pipettes, which have the highest plunger forces,and when a researcher needs to perform intensive repetitive mixing of the liquid samples.Volume setting – changing the aspiration volumeChanging the volume of a manual pipette is often necessary to meet the requirements of theexperiment (e.g., changing the setting of a 200 µL pipette down to 50 µL for specific bufferaddition, and then back up to 200 µL for the next buffer). The process of changing the volumesetting screw – normally a small diameter button – requires several turns of the hand-fingers-thumb combination. Experienced pipettors may even do this with one hand, both holding andadjusting the pipette at the same time, while holding a liquid sample in the other hand.A study by Asundi et al5 indicates that volume adjustment is an activity that requires highmuscle activity. In the four different thumb-related muscles that were tested, volume changesgenerated significant muscular response, indicating a potential for fatigue. Different pipettedesigns can either reduce or increase the forces required for changing volume. A further studyby Lichty et al6 found a positive correlation between ease of volume adjustment and workerproductivity, probably because significant time is spent adjusting the volume setting duringroutine operation.Rainin reduced the forces associated with volume adjustment by providing a large easy-gripbutton and low-friction screw mechanism. An adjustable lock prevents the inadvertent changingof the volume setting between pipetting steps. With this combination an operator can easilyunlock, adjust and lock the volume setting mechanism with one hand and with minimal forcerequirements, (see Figure 7).Figure 7Setting the pipette volume with one hand6Pipetting once will not affect your hand, but pipetting hundreds of times over the course ofseveral hours certainly will. The chance of getting injured increases greatly with repetitive work.Fortunately there are several straight-forward solutions.The first kind of solution is to use products that do the work for you. Multichannel pipettes and96-well pipetting platforms reduce repetition by pipetting multiple samples at once. Electronicpipettes can semi-automate certain functions, such as dispensing multiple aliquots from asingle aspiration, automatically mixing, or automatically changing the programmed volumes ina pre-determined sequence.The second kind of solution is to modify pipetting habits to decrease the effects of repetitivework. Try to take regular breaks, switch hands, stretch your limbs and maintain good posture(minimize twisting of your shoulders, arms and wrists; manipulate objects at shoulder height orbelow).GripGrip comfort has been positively associated with reducing hand and arm discomfort6. Factorsimportant for grip comfort include the shape of the pipette body and fingerhook, and thedistance your thumb needs to reach to the top of the plunger. Try to grasp the pipette with aslittle force as necessary to maintain control.Conclusion and RecommendationsThe ergonomics of pipetting are generally well understood. Higher pipetting forces and longhours of pipetting are associated with developing RSIs. The following recommendations willassist researchers in minimizing their chance of developing RSIs.Look for lower plunger forcesCheck spring forces associated with the plunger.Compare new pipettes with old ones.Use electronic pipettes when possible.Service your pipettes regularly to maintain optimal mechanics.Keeping the piston and seals clean will both lower friction, thus reducing pipetting force,and maintain better accuracy and precision.Look for lower tip ejection forcesCompare the tip ejection forces of different pipettes. Consider that a pipette with a high tiploading force will probably have a high tip ejection force. Remember that multichannelpipettes have generally higher forces and can be particularly hard on the thumb.Other considerationsUse pipettes with a finger hook that fit comfortably in your hand without gripping tightly.Lower the forces associated with volume change by using a pipette with a volume lock,low-friction volume change mechanism and a large dial with good grip.Reduce repetitive pipetting by using electronic pipettes, multichannels and 96-wellpipetting platforms. Take breaks and, if possible, switch hands and stretch arms andhands.71 Björksten MG, Almby B, Jansson ES.

Oracle® CloudData Sync Getting StartedRelease 2.4DSGS-240February 2018Getting Started With Data SyncThis guide introduces Data Sync Version 2.4 and provides installation instructions.Data Sync loads and transforms data that you want to analyze into a target database,for example, Oracle Database Cloud Service or Essbase Cloud Service (Essbase).Topics:•Before You Start•Installing and Setting Up Data Sync•Connecting to Oracle Database Cloud Service Using SSH Tunneling•Connecting To Your Data Target and Data SourceBefore You StartTo install Data Sync, you must meet the requirements and prerequisites, download theapplication from Oracle Technology Network, then install and configure the software.PrerequisitesBefore installing, you must have Java V1.8.x (not V1.9.x) of Java Development Kit(JDK) and apply critical updates.Source Database SupportData Sync supports the following source database types:•Oracle•NetSuite•Microsoft SQL Server•DB2•Teradata•MySQL•Oracle TimesTen•Generic JDBC with prepackaged drivers for Greenplum, MongoDB, Salesforce, Redshift, Hive and PostgreSQL•Other sources that support JDBC•Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence:–Oracle Financials Cloud–Oracle HCM Cloud–Oracle Procurement Cloud–Oracle Project Management Cloud–Oracle Sales Cloud–Oracle Supply Chain Management Cloud•Oracle Service Cloud (RightNow)JDBC DriversData Sync is a Java application that uses Java Database Connectivity (JDBC). Data Sync is installed with Oracle JDBC Version 12.1.0.2.0. If you’re using a different database or version, then you must replace the installed Oracle JDBC version with the JDBC version that’s specific to your database. To replace the installed JDBC version, you copy the JDBC drivers from your Oracle database environment to the \lib directory on the machine where you installed Data Sync.Vendor JDBC Driver File nameOracle ojdbc7.jarMySQL Mysql-connector-java*.jarMicrosoft SQL Server sqljdbc.jarDB2db2java.zipTimesTen ttjdbc6.jar, orai18n.jar, timestenjmsxla.jar,jms.jar, javax.jms.jarTeradata terajdbc4.jar, log4j.jar, teradata.jar,tdgssjava.jar, tdgssconfig.jarSecurityOracle recommends that you only install Data Sync in protected environments because Data Sync stores connection information and passwords for your databases. Installing and Setting Up Data SyncTo install Data Sync, you download the software pack from Oracle Technology Network, install the software, then configure Data Sync.Download and Install Data Sync1.On the Data Sync Downloads site (/technetwork/middleware/bicloud/downloads/index.html), accept the OTN license agreement, and click the OAC Data Sync link to download the OACDataSync.zip file.2.Copy the OACSDataSync.zip file to an installation directory with no spaces in thefolder names (for example, c:\DataSync2_4), and extract the contents.Setting up the Java Home Environment VariableDepending on your operating system, edit the config.bat or config.sh file, and modify the line that sets the JAVA_HOME. Replace “@JAVA_HOME” with the directory where the JDK is installed. If your JDK directory name contains spaces, then put double-quotes around it.For example, on Windows:set JAVA_HOME=D:\JavaFor example, on UNIX:JAVA_HOME=usr/javaStarting Data SyncTo start Data Sync and its server, run datasync.bat (Windows) or datasync.sh (Linux/ UNIX) from the directory where you installed Data Sync. The Data Sync icon displays in your system icon tray to show that the server is running.•Select Start UI to open the Data Sync client. When you close the Data Sync client, the Data Sync server remains running.•Select Exit to stop the Data Sync server and close the Data Sync client if it is open.Alternatively, use these files:•datasyncClient.bat.sh opens the Data Sync tool (when the server is running).•stopserver.bat/sh stops the Data Sync server.Upgrading an Existing Data Sync InstallationIf your existing environment is using JDK V1.7, follow these steps to upgrade:1.Create a new Data Sync2.3 environment using JDK V1.8.2.From the old environment, export the metadata (from the Tools menu, thenExport, then and select all categories and projects).3.From the old environment,import the metadata (from the Tools menu, then Import, then and select allcategories and projects).e the new environment to upgrade to Data Sync V2.4.Running Data Sync for the First TimeThe first time you start the Data Sync client, the Configuration Setup wizard prompts you to enter the following information:•Logical Name. Specify a name for the repository to distinguish the repository in multi-repository environments. For example, you might name the instanceDevelopment Environment or Production Environment.•Password. Provide a password for accessing Data Sync. Optionally, use the Remember password option to specify whether Data Sync stores the password so that you don’t have to specify it each time you start Data Sync.Reconfiguring Data Sync With Its Default SettingsTo reset Data Sync with default settings and re-run the setup process, run datasync.bat (Windows) or datasync.sh (Linux/UNIX) in a command window with the -clean option.Uninstalling Data SyncTo uninstall Data Sync, delete the install directory.Connecting to Database As A Service Using SSH TunnelingBy default, Data Sync V2.4 communicates with Oracle Database Cloud Service using port 1521. Alternatively, you can configure Data Sync to communicate with DatabaseAs A Service using the Secure Shell (SSH) port 22 (this configuration is known as‘SSH Tunneling’).1.Close Data Sync and the Data Sync server.To stop the Data Sync server, click the Data Sync icon on the Windows tool bar and click Exit.2.Update your JDK/JRE with Java Cryptography Extension (JCE), which supportsUnlimited Strength.The default JDK doesn’t install the unlimited strength version of JCE (JavaCryptography Extension).

Upgrading to Oracle Solaris11.1 November2012This article details the steps required to upgrade your Oracle Solaris1111/11system to Oracle Solaris11.1 using the Image Packaging System(IPS),a feature of Oracle Solaris.Introduction to Upgrading a System to Oracle Solaris11.1 There are two main approaches for upgrading a system to Oracle Solaris11.1.■Using the Oracle Solaris support repository,for customers with an Oracle support agreement■Using the Oracle Solaris release repository,for customers without an Oracle support agreementUsing the Oracle Solaris Support RepositoryCustomers who have an Oracle support agreement can use the Oracle Solaris support repository as their configured package repository.If you are using the support repository,the package publisher definition should look like the following:%pkg publisherPUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URIsolaris origin online https:///solaris/supportThe release process for Oracle Solaris11was changed to accelerate the release of critical bug fixes.A consequence of this process is that the update might not contain some bug fixes released in a Support Repository Update(SRU)for the preceding release.For example,the most recent SRU for Oracle Solaris1111/11is SRU#12.4.Some packages in SRU#12.4have a version number that is higher than the version number in the Oracle Solaris11.1release.To preserve these bug fixes,the version difference will prevent the upgrade to the Oracle Solaris11.1release.If the upgrade process is not blocked because of the version numbers,some fixes that are part of the SRU will be removed if you upgrade to the Oracle Solaris11.1release.For convenience,these bug numbers are listed in“Bugs Fixed in Later SRUs”on page7.For instructions,see“Upgrading a System With a Support Agreement to Oracle Solaris11.1”on page3. Once an SRU for Oracle Solaris11.1is released,the process is simplified if you want to install the11.1release, as well as the latest SRU.For instructions,see“How to Upgrade a System to Oracle Solaris11.1With the Latest SRU”on page6.Using the Oracle Solaris Release RepositoryUsers who have installed Oracle Solaris11without an Oracle support agreement can use the Oracle Solaris release repository as their configured package repository.If you are using the release repository,the package publisher definition should look like the following:%pkg publisherPUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URIsolaris origin online /solaris/release/For instructions,see“How to Upgrade a System to Oracle Solaris11.1Using the Oracle Solaris Release Repository”on page7.Upgrading From Oracle Solaris10There are no upgrade methods or tools available to transition from Oracle Solaris10to Oracle Solaris11or 11.1.You must either do a fresh installation of Oracle Solaris11or migrate your Oracle Solaris10OS instances or zones to an Oracle Solaris11system.For more information,refer to Transitioning From Oracle Solaris10to Oracle Solaris11.Upgrading to Oracle Solaris11.1and ZonesAll of the zones on your system should automatically be upgraded when you upgrade the global zone.Make sure that you follow any specific instructions to deal with specific packages as noted in the following procedures.Upgrading to Oracle Solaris 11.1and Third-Party Packages In general,third-party packages are not touched during the upgrade process.Third-party services,and the software they deliver,will only be disturbed by the upgrade process when the service shares configuration files with the OS,or when the files are installed in directories that are written over by the upgrade process.Upgrading a System With a Support Agreement to Oracle Solaris 11.1The steps that are required might be different due to some systems running different SRU versions.First,follow the instructions in “How to Verify Which SRU a System Is Running”on page 3.Depending on the SRU that the system is running,perform one of the following procedures:■“How to Upgrade a System Running A SRU Before SRU#10.5”on page 4■“How to Upgrade a System Running SRU#10.5or SRU#11.4”on page 4■“How to Upgrade a System Running at Least SRU#12.4”on page 5Note –The amount of time each procedure takes is dependent on many factors,including system and network resources.▼How to Verify Which SRU a System Is Running Display the information about pkg:/entire .In this example,SRU#10.5is installed.%pkg info entire Name:entire Summary:entire incorporation

Oracle uses AI, data, and the cloud to free enterprises to focus on businessPublication Date: 16 Nov 2018 | Product code: INT002-000188Tom PringleOvum viewSummaryOracle's annual global event, OpenWorld, brings high expectations of announcements about new capabilities to the vendor's infrastructure, platform, and applications solutions clients. This year, Oracle's overarching theme – the infusion of automation across its portfolio – did not break the cycle. Oracle announced the rollout of its Gen 2 cloud infrastructure, brought new focus to the Oracle Autonomous Database and analytics at the platform level, and is expanding the range of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities baked into its applications, paired with expanded data-as-a-service options and conversational interfaces. Oracle's strategy is simple, albeit it based on complex technology: it is making its technology solutions smarter and easier to use to free enterprises' time and resources to focus on their own core businesses.Apps infused with AI alongside platform automation delivers cost saving efficiency while enabling revenue-adding effectivenessFollowing last year's announcement of the Oracle Autonomous Database, alongside the earlier launch of Oracle Adaptive Intelligent Apps and the more recent acquisition of , the growing wave of AI capabilities Oracle offers has made this white-hot technology a key feature for the vendor. The problem with white-hot technologies is that they tend to come with hyped-up, unrealistic expectations about what they can achieve. Oracle CEO Mark Hurd put forward his view that emerging technologies such as AI are "features, not solutions." This view is indicative of the approach taken by Oracle to offering AI – and other new technology such as blockchain – capabilities to its customers as integrated features available as part of broader solutions. The Oracle Autonomous Database (now for both transactional and data warehouse use cases) at the platform level and Adaptive Intelligent Apps at the applications level are perhaps the best examples of this, offering automation of work at a scale and speed beyond the capabilities of human users, helping reduce operating costs for enterprises while opening new opportunities to add business value.I have categorized this approach as offering efficiency benefits in the form of cost savings, while helping free time and resources to effectively grow the business. IT departments have long committed most of their resources to "keeping the lights on," managing a vast estate of, as Hurd put it, "Lego bricks" that represent the myriad IT capabilities on offer to enterprises. Using AI to automate large amounts of this humdrum, repetitive work that – while keeping the business running day to day – provides little additive business value is what delivers those efficiency benefits. Focusing on the Oracle Autonomous Database, its ability to self-manage, including updating and patching, frees database administrators from that manual labor to focus on making data available as a valuable enterprise resource. It also has benefits for the security of the enterprise by helping ensure that the latest versions of the software are in use – notably without necessitating planned downtime, a trickI've suggested is like trying to change the tires on a moving car.Oracle's Adaptive Intelligent Apps continues to expand its range of machine learning-powered capabilities for Oracle's applications portfolio. Starting its offer in the CX space, with solutions for common enterprise requirements such as next best offer and product recommendations, AdaptiveIntelligent Apps have now come to ERP and HCM. During OpenWorld, numerous senior Oracle executives discussed the use of AI in applications to augment users' experience with more insight and automate away tasks that are not value adding. This approach brings efficiency savings, but critically the injection of AI capabilities into enterprise applications' processes, which run quietly in the background, are where the value-adding effectiveness use cases – those that focus on adding revenue or enhancing profitability – are found.Buying AI as an embedded capability is not the only option Oracle offersThe Autonomous Database and Adaptive Intelligent Apps are firmly at the "buy" end of the build-versus-buy spectrum; this is not, however, the conclusion of Oracle's AI offering. Earlier this year, Oracle acquired , adding a solution designed to serve those enterprises interested in building their own AI capabilities. offers a platform that provides the much-feted data scientists with access to the open source tools and computing resources necessary to support their work, but in a more governed way that helps make IT's job of supporting them easier. Oracle's growing ability to address enterprises' requirements regardless of the type of AI they are interested in is an emerging advantage in the market.Making smarter applications easier to use with Digital AssistantThe Oracle Digital Assistant was unveiled at OpenWorld and is representative of a trend that continues to make steady progress in the world of enterprise IT: consumerization. This trend started with the revolution that was user-selected smart devices in the enterprise and their integration with corporate standards via BYOD policies. It has more recently surfaced with advances in self-service analytics that brought more "human" UIs and a visually driven approach to working data. Breaking into core enterprise applications like ERP, however, has – so far – made little progress. Oracle Digital Assistant is a conversational digital assistant that aims to change that. There is no reason to suggest that "talking" to ERP is impossible; in fact, dealing with common processes via a conversational interface is a long-overdue advancement in the way users work with applications.The Oracle Digital Assistant will allow users to interact with ERP, SCM, CRM, and HCM in this way, providing a platform and the tools required to build AI-powered assistants that can interact directly with those applications. Importantly, Digital Assistant supports popular conversational interfaces in the workplace such as Slack and WeChat, along with more consumer-focused products such as Amazon Echo and Google Home. In Ovum's view, as bots and digital assistants continue to gain traction in our work and home lives, open integration between them will be essential – the user may only deal with one interface, but behind the scenes multiple interactions will be required to deliver information and take action.Data makes automation workDuring OpenWorld, Oracle announced its acquisition of DataFox, a cloud-based AI data engine business that delivers B2B data to inform enterprise decision-making. Oracle has made substantial headway in the data-as-a-service business with its Data Cloud portfolio, backed by the acquisitions of BlueKai, Datalogix, and Moat, and the delivery of data to customers is a business in its own right. However, where DaaS gets even more interesting is when that data is used to enrich enterprises' own first-party data in, for example, CRM applications; this is a fundamental differentiator for Oracle AI Apps. Machine learning, which powers the overwhelming majority of realistic enterprise AI use cases,lives and dies by the data it runs on. Limited data? Limited results. For machine learning, more is more (assuming it is of sufficient quality). Augmenting enterprises' own data with curated, web-scale data sets substantially improves business outcomes by expanding the breadth and depth of the data sources available to machine learning. The acquisition's rationale is further expanded as the Data Cloud has primarily been focused on B2C data sources. While that team has been developing greater B2B capabilities, DataFox brings an AI-curated set of B2B sources into the fold and, in particular, adds insights into private companies whose activities are harder to uncover.In the immediate term, we expect the DataFox acquisition to be used primarily for enriching customers' own CRM data, surfacing relevant signals such as changes in intent that influence buying decisions or reveal new prospects. In the future, its additive potential as the DataFox AI engine and data is combined with other Oracle AI and data assets is exponential.Dig deeper into data by simplifying, connecting, and scaling analyticsNot all data analysis can be entirely automated, and analytics solutions still have a substantial role to play in allowing users to work with data outside of embedded capabilities found in other enterprise applications. Oracle Analytics Cloud was discussed under the labels of simplify, connect, and scale – three of the key challenges any veteran of analytics and business intelligence will be familiar with. They are the obstacles that need to be overcome to start leveraging data across the enterprise, particularly serving a much broader consumer base who are not technical experts and require point-and-click and natural language access to data and analytics capabilities.The theme of embedding AI and automation across Oracle's portfolio is a major component of how these challenges are being overcome. For example, simplifying the process by which enterprise users get from raw data to discovering useful and preferably actionable information is achieved by embedding machine learning into the Analytics Cloud to auto-create recommendations and visualizations. Driving easier data connections with machine learning-augmented data profiling, transformations, and automated suggestions improves the data used by analytics. Or using the cloud as a vehicle allows deployments of analytics at scale to much larger audiences, switching users on and embedding it in their go-to apps, rather than provisioning traditional services.Oracle categorized its approach in these solution areas as augmented analytics, a natural complement to the requirements it is aiming to serve – a larger, less technical user audience that requires a guided analytical experience that delivers useful intelligence from data using the latest techniques while shielding those users from its complexity.AppendixAuthorTom M.
