Oracle unveils project analytics solution

Oracle has released Primavera P6 Analytics to help organisations obtain up-to-the-minute information about their project portfolios, and in turn make better project investment decisions, reports Market Watch.

Oracle's Primavera P6 Analytics is a new business intelligence (BI) solution that enables organisations to identify issues and uncover trends to reveal valuable insights into project and programme performance.

This new solution provides management-by-exception capabilities through interactive dashboard reports, enabling organisations to benefit from enterprise-level reporting across the portfolio and insight into project trends and history.

Business intelligence dashboard software provider iDashboards is tracking the 2010 World Cup tournament in SA with its interactive dashboard software, states Live PR.

This offers soccer enthusiasts a visually rich dashboard to access the latest information on match schedules, scores and overall team records, the company says.

These dashboards monitor the matches played by each team, match scores and points earned by each team in easy-to-view charts and graphs which are updated after each game.

Ohio's Miami University is using software it already had on hand as part of a successful BI programme, one that's designed to help boost enrolment and contain costs, writes Campus Technology.

Jump-started by a basic goal of measuring and containing costs, a project at Ohio's 200-year-old Miami University is using existing software tools and staff as part of a successful BI roll-out.

The project, now in its second summer, focused overall on increasing summer enrolment. This year, with the advantage of some solid numbers from the BI solution, the focus is driving up enrolment to contain costs - a delicate balance of good academics and better financial management.
