It was an
exciting OpenWorld 2013 for us in the Data Integration track. Our theme this
year was all about ‘being future ready’ - previewing one of our biggest
releases this year: Oracle Data Integration
12c. Just this week
we followed up with this preview by announcing the general availability of 12c release for Oracle’s key data integration products: Oracle Data Integrator 12c and Oracle GoldenGate 12c. The new release delivers extreme
performance, increase IT productivity, and simplify deployment, while helping
IT organizations to keep pace with new data-oriented technology trends
including cloud computing, big data analytics, real-time business intelligence.

Mark Hurd's keynote on day one set the tone for the Data
Integration sessions. Mark focused on big data analytics and the changing
consumer expectations. Especially real-time insight is a key theme for Oracle
overall and data integration products. In Mark Hurd's keynote we heard from key
customers, such as Airbus and Thomson Reuters, how real-time analysis of
operational data including machine data creates value, in some cases even saves
lives. Thomas Kurian gave a deeper look into Oracle's big data and fast data
solutions.
In
the initial lead Data Integration track session - Brad Adelberg, VP of Development, presented
Oracle’s Data Integration 12c product strategy based on key trends from the
initial OpenWorld keynotes. Brad talked about how Oracle's data integration
products address the new data integration requirements that evolved with cloud
computing, big data, and changing consumer expectations and how they set the
key themes in our products’ road map. Brad explained why and how fast-time to
value, high-performance and future-ready solutions is the top focus areas for
product development. If you were not able to attend OpenWorld or this session I
recommend reading the white paper: Five New Data Integration
Requirements and How to Meet them with Oracle Data Integration, which provides an in-depth look
into how Oracle addresses the new trends in the DI market.
Following Brad’s session,
Nick Wagner provided in depth review of Oracle GoldenGate’s latest features and
roadmap. Nick discussed how Oracle GoldenGate’s tight integration with Oracle
Database sets the product apart from the competition. We also heard that
heterogeneity of the product is still a major focus for GoldenGate’s development
and there will be more news on that front when there is a major release.

After GoldenGate’s product
strategy session, Denis Gray from the PM team presented Oracle Data
Integrator’s product strategy session, talking about the latest and greatest on
ODI. Another good session was delivered by long-time GoldenGate users,
Comcast. Jason Hurd and Amit Patel of Comcast talked about the various
use cases they deploy Oracle GoldenGate throughout their enterprise, from
database upgrades, feeding reporting systems, to active-active database synchronization. The
Comcast team shared many good tips on how to use GoldenGate for both zero
downtime upgrades and active-active replication with conflict management
requirement.
One
of our other important goals we had this year for the Data Integration track at
OpenWorld was hearing from our customers. We
ended day 1 on just that, with a wonderful award ceremony
for Oracle Excellence Awards for Oracle Fusion Middleware Innovation. The
ceremony was held in the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Congratulations to
Royal Bank of Scotland and Yalumba Wine Company, the winners in the Data
Integration category. You can find more information on the award and the
winners in our previous blog post: 2013 Oracle Excellence Awards for Fusion Middleware Innovation…
Selected
for their innovation use of Oracle’s Data Integration products; the winners for
the Data Integration Category are Royal Bank of Scotland and The
Yalumba Wine Company. Congratulations!!!
Royal Bank of
Scotland’s Market and International Banking division
provides clients across the globe with seamless trading and competitive
pricing, underpinned by a deep knowledge of risk management across the full
spectrum of financial products. They handle millions of transactions daily to
keep the lifeblood of their clients’ businesses flowing – whether through
payment management solutions or through bespoke trade finance solutions. Royal
Bank of Scotland is leveraging Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data Integrator
along with Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition and the Oracle
Database for a variety of solutions. Mainly, Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data
Integrator are used to feed their data warehouse – providing a real-time data
integration solution that feeds transactional data to their analytics system in
minutes to enable improved decision making with timely, accurate data for their
business users. Oracle Data Integrator’s in-database
transformation capabilities and its ability to integrate with Oracle GoldenGate
for real-time data capture is the
foundation of this implementation. This solution makes it such that changes
happening in the analytics systems are available the same day they are deployed
on the operational system with 100% data quality guaranteed. Additionally, the
solution has helped to reduce their operational database size from 150GB to
10GB. Impressive! Now what if I told you this solution was built in 3 months
and had a less than 6 month return on investment? That’s outstanding!
The Yalumba Wine Company is situated
in the Barossa Valley of Australia. It is the oldest family owned winery in
Australia with a unique way of aging their wines in specially crafted 100 liter
barrels. Did you know that “Yalumba” is Aboriginal for “all the land around”?
The Yalumba Wine Company is growing rapidly, and was in need of introducing a
more modern standard to the existing manufacturing processes to meet
globalization demands, overall time-to-market, and better operational
efficiency objectives of product development. The Yalumba Wine Company worked
with a partner, Bristlecone to develop a unique solution
whereby Oracle Data Integrator is leveraged to pull data from Salesforce.com
and JD Edwards, in addition to their other pre-existing source systems, for
consumption into their data warehouse. They have emphasized the overall ease of
developing integration workflows with Oracle Data Integrator. The solution has
brought better visibility for the business users, shorter data loading and
transformation performance to their data warehouse with rapid incorporation of
new data sources, and a solid future-proof foundation for their organization.
Moving forward, they plan on leveraging more from Oracle’s Data Integration
portfolio. Terrific!
In addition to these two customers on Tuesday we featured
many other important Oracle Data Integrator and Oracle GoldenGate customers. On
Tuesday the GoldenGate panel included: Land O’Lakes, Smuckers, and Veolia Water.
Besides giving us yummy nutrition and healthy water, these companies have
another aspect in common. They all use GoldenGate to boost their ERP
application. Please read the recap by Irem Radzik.
On Wednesday, the ODI Panel included: Barry Ralston and
Ryan Weber of Infinity Insurance, Paul Stracke of Paychex Inc., and Ian Wall of
Vertex Pharmaceuticals for a session filled with interesting projects, use
cases and approaches to leveraging Oracle Data Integrator. Please read the recap by Sandrine
Riley for more.
