"The Oracle BI Applications are a set of packaged dashboards, metadata, data warehouse tables and ETL routines that provides pre-built analytics against a range of ERP and CRM systems. In this presentation, we look at how the BI Apps data warehouse can be extended and customized using the Informatica ETL tool, using Oracle's suggested methodology and leveraging data warehousing best practices. We examine how practical this approach is and whether or not it is a cost-effective alternative to creating a new data warehouse from the ground-up."
