Oracle Endeca

February 21, 2013

It appears that Oracle is effectively marketing its search acquisition, Endeca. The company’s blog posts a piece on its business intelligence features in, “Transforming Workforce Management with Oracle Endeca Information Discovery.” Meanwhile, the Quest 4 ATG blog shares some migration tips for the commerce platform in its piece, “Stepping into Oracle Endeca Commerce 3.1.1.”

Oracle’s BI post asserts that Human Resources is where the action is for companies right now, but that the challenges of accessing unstructured data can stand in the way of making the best decisions in that area. Their Endeca Information Discovery, they say, can help by:

  • Understanding the voice and sentiment of the workforce.  By providing the ability to use natural-language queries to derive insights from information from all sources, Oracle Endeca Information Discovery provides insight into the effectiveness of strategic and tactical HR decisions. . . .
  • Identifying the root causes behind events and exceptions. . . . HR organizations are empowered to determine the reasons why things happen and respond to findings without direct IT involvement, saving time and cost.
  • Supercharging existing business analytics investments.  With the unscripted exploration of workforce data and full-featured search, navigation & interactive analytics, HR organizations can leverage, improve, and extend existing investments in workforce analytics and HCM applications.

The post at Quest 4 ATG is more of a practical matter. It documents that blogger’s migrations from Endeca Commerce version 3.1.0 to version 3.1.1. Clearly described in outline form, with illustrations, these instructions are good to note (and bookmark) if you, too, need to migrate.
