Endeca Information Discovery plays a key role with your big data analysis and complements Oracle Business Intelligence Solutions such as OBIEE. 
This FREE hands-on workshop for Oracle Partners highlights technical know-how of the product and helps understand its value proposition. We will walk you through four key components of the product: Oracle Endeca Server—A highly scalable, search-analytical database that derives the data model based on the data presented to it, thereby reducing data modeling requirements. 
Studio—A highly interactive, component-based user interface for configuring advanced, yet intuitive, analytical 
applications. 
Integration Suite—Provides rapid unification and enrichment of diverse sources of information into a single integrated view. 
Extensible Value-Added Modules—Add-on modules that provide value quickly through configuration instead of custom coding. 
Topics covered will include Data Exploration with Endeca Information Discovery, Data Ingest, Project Lifecycle, Building an Endeca Server data model and advanced modeling techniques, and Working with Studio.
