November 29th 2021 – UKOUG Together ’21

I have two presentations IN PERSON! at the UKOUG Together ’21 conference at the Oval, London. The first at 1:45pm is on Storytelling in Oracle Analytics. Oracle provides some great tools for showcasing data and finding insights. The ease of use and quality of interaction makes Oracle Analytics really appealing, but if you’re new to visualisation and storytelling then how can you make the best impact for the benefit of your organisation? In this live session, we’ll take a journey from a blank canvas to building up a drillable, multi-canvas solution and noting some key psychological aspects along the way that helps the consumer to benefit from effective insights.

First Presentation – 1:45pm on Analytic Storytelling

The second at 3:45pm is using Oracle Spatial Studio and then consuming the results in other Oracle tools, including APEX and Oracle Analytics. If you have ever thought “Which of my customers are within five miles of my store?” then you’re thinking spatially. Perhaps you’d also like to see these customers on a map and have attention drawn to the most frequent customers? Oracle’s Spatial Studio makes spatial analysis and visualisation more accessible to analysts who do not need specific spatial syntax knowledge. In this presentation we will load, geocode, analyse and visualise data to demonstrate some examples of the capability of Spatial Studio with thematic maps, time sliders, coloured symbols and other visualisations. We will then go further and show how the results of our analysis can be used by other tools including Oracle Analytics and APEX. The aim of this presentation is not just to give you an overview of some of the capability of Spatial Studio, but also the confidence to explore and get value from your data in ways you may not have previously considered.

Second Presenation – 3:45pm on Spatial Studio
October 20th 2021 – ODTUG Analytics Webinar

If you Register For This Webinar then I’ll be doing a live demonstration of some key new features introduced in Oracle Analytics 6.0, 6.1 and 6.2 that help improve your visual storytelling. We’ll certainly be looking at canvas annotations and conditional formatting alongside some of the other features that have recently been added that make self-service even more powerful.

April 7th 2021 – UK Oracle APEX Meetup 6pm-9pm

https://www.meetup.com/orclapex_uk/events/276810081/

At this meetup I’ll be talking about Faceted Search and the new Cards interface in APEX 20.2 and how they provide a low code yet highly effective interface for your applications.

Oracle Analytics and Spatial Data Presentation

I’m thrilled to be part of Oracle’s on-going analytics summit. This is an early start for me at it’s 8am UK time, but it should be a great session as i’m going to cover the Geocoding of data using Spatial Studio so that I can perform some spatial analysis, and then to present the results using Oracle Analytics and do some augmentation to get some other insights. I’ll be taking a peek ‘behind the scenes’ too and be using a 19c Autonomous database, so hopefully you can join me.

July 9th 2020 ODTUG webinar
ODTUG Oracle Analytics Cloud on OCI Webinar

If you register for this webinar you’ll see how we migrated a customer to the new Generation 2 Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and the benefits it brings. So it will be partly technical and partly functional as we also look at how they now manage their environments to balance size, uptime and cost.
