Migrating from OBIEE Because Adobe Flash is not Supported Anymore? Check Out Orbit Analytics for its Visualization and Self-Service Capabilities

Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) 11g users have yet another reason to look for other options since Adobe discontinued support for Flash player from December 31, 2020. Adobe also blocked Flash content from running in Flash Player starting January 12, 2021. Oracle announced that OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.7) users should migrate to Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC), Oracle Analytics Server, or OBIEE 12c (12.2.1.4 minimum) which uses HTML5 (instead of Flash) as the default.

Orbit is a next generation solution if you are looking to migrate from OBIEE 11g, thanks to Adobe discontinuing support for Flash

Orbit Analytics is yet another option that OBIEE users may consider due to the wide collection of pre-built reports, ease of connecting to multiple data sources, self-service capabilities for business users, and next-generation dashboarding and data visualization. Orbit’s pre-built reports empower the users to extract insights from data including financials, supply chain, and human capital management (HCM). The pre-built features are designed keeping the needs of the business users in mind to help them make informed decisions quickly without reliance on IT teams. 

Orbit works extremely well for operational reporting and analytics, advanced analytics, and enterprise-wide business intelligence and has enabled several customers across the globe to migrate from old and legacy tools such as OBIEE, Discoverer, Crystal Reports, and Hyperion Interactive. 

Some of the other features that make Orbit Analytics a preferred choice include:

1. Providing a single source of truth by accessing data stored in multiple sources (both cloud and on-premise) and bringing in a unified view using ETL (extract, transform, load)-type of functionality. 
2. Visualization tools, flexibility, blending, and data wrangling capabilities that empower users to run reports whenever they want and create charts that best suit their needs without depending on the IT team.
3. Enabling running concurrent queries on a large volume of data
4. Being cloud-agnostic, it can also let you use your existing cloud investment to the fullest. Orbit can be setup to run on Oracle Cloud, AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, or any other private, public or hybrid cloud options. 
5. Orbit’s thoughtful packaging of services and features makes it a cost-effective business intelligence solution. 
6. Orbit’s Excel Edge and GLSense are designed to help business users access real-time data residing in the ERP from within Excel, and run reports from within Excel. For financial teams, GLSense is extremely handy because they are able to drill-down to analyze data in the sub-ledger to multiple levels. 

Additionally, Orbit Analytics ensures data governance and data security, complying with regulatory requirements and legislative needs like PIA and PAA. Authentication and authorization rules conform to your business requirements, as laid down by the IT team, and ensures role-based access to data.
