End-to-end mobile BI on any device. Publish modern reports using Power BI or Excel 2016 to an iPhone, Android, or Windows phone. Enable both self-service BI and mobility at a fraction of the cost of Oracle.
In-database advanced analytics at no extra cost. Make better decisions with easy-to-use analytics tools that seamlessly combine enterprise data, external data, and unstructured big data.
In-memory built-in across all workloads. Achieve exponential performance gains with the speed of in-memory online transaction processing.
