Nucleus found customers running business intelligence and performance management solutions on Oracle Exalytics were able to take advantage of optimized hardware, analytics software, and in-memory database technology consolidated in a single machine to accelerate time to value and increase analytics performance at a fraction of the cost of traditional approaches. Companies continue to invest in business intelligence and analytics because of the significant benefits these technologies deliver in terms of greater visibility, increased productivity and efficiency, and reduced costs.

The four stages of the Analytic Enterprise are: . Automated. Companies at this stage use analytics to automate report building and construct data warehouses and data cubes to achieve benefits that include increased productivity for data experts and reduced workloads for IT departments. .

They have improved data migration, integration, and data quality control, and have begun using analytics to improve decision making, rather than just
