! Analytics has always been about discovering insights that lead to better business decisions.
! Organizations can be challenged by the
inaccessibility of legacy systems, which can hinder business intelligence processes and strain IT resources.
! As more customers require faster time-to-insight and user-friendly solutions, vendors are offering products and suites that augment the power of legacy systems, but keep the end user in mind.

Questions
• Who buys Noetix solutions and whom do you compete with? Does Noetix focus on the Large Enterprise or SMB Market?
• Noetix delivers standard data models, semantic layer and ETL mapping optimized to extend Oracle E-Business Suites. Often times predesigned models are too rigid or lack detail. How does Noetix avoid these common pitfalls?
• Your website says that “Noetix automatically creates queries and reports specific to your organization.” What type of domain experience does Noetix apply to this process?
• What type of effort is required to design and implement your pre-defined data views in NoetixViews? Does this create a data management challenge?
• Do you have plans to work with other applications platforms beyond Oracle?
Slide 33 © 2012 Enterprise Management Associates, Inc.
Questions
• How do you leverage data from other systems in step with Oracle’s application data?
• Is Noetix capable of handling KPI’s, drill down, trending analysis, scorecards?
• With the built in BI integration to popular BI platforms are you able to go beyond Oracle, Cognos and SAP? (Noetix Generator)
• Can an end-user override the automated aspects of Noetix Generator? Especially around the presentation model and semantic layer?
• How do you protect your clients against Oracle Application upgrades? When customization takes place how are these changes in source structure migrated to the data model, semantic layer and glossary?
Slide 34 © 2012 Enterprise Management Associates, Inc.
Questions
• What are the hardware requirements to support Noetix Analytics? • What about ad-hoc queries? Does Noetix support this type of
analytic function? • If real-time analytics is required how do you serve that need? • When leveraging the Oracle E-business Suite what operational
areas do you find customers in the deepest pain. Financials, Supply Chain, HRMS, Procurement
• How do you approach clients that already have a DW? IS Noetix looking to replace the existing DW or operational data stores?
• How does Noetix handle issues of access, security workload query complexity etc…
• Does your platform support collaborative interactions between decision makers?
• Does Noetix have the capability to integrate data from Hadoop or other Big Data platforms?
