whitepaper SH Electric Power Improves Data Analysis and Reporting With Integrated Data Warehouse2008-05-01 Oracle
  The Shanghai Municipal Electric Power Company (SH Electric Power) handles the transmission, distribution, and sale of electrical power in Shanghai. A major challenge under the Business Information (BI) project was to move the company's routine reporting function away from its production system database, which would reduce the load on the system, and allow for new reporting features to be added. The company selected the Oracle OLAP and Oracle Data Mining modules running on Oracle Database 10g.

whitepaper Probabilistic Forecasting Solution Helps BP Manage Oil Field Costs and Risks2008-04-01 Oracle
  Founded more than 100 years ago, BP is both a pioneer of the oil industry and one of its leading innovators. Oil and energy markets have been going through dramatic changes in recent years. Crude supplies are becoming harder to find outside areas controlled by national oil companies, forcing private-sector oil companies like BP to reach into some of the most remote corners of the earth, and drill to depths never thought possible before. After experimenting with a number of probabilistic forecasting solutions, BP adopted an easy-to-use application called Crystal Ball, one of a suite of business intelligence applications from Oracle.

whitepaper Avoid Growing Pains: New Cube Update Features You Should Know About2008-03-12 SAS Institute
  After a SAS OLAP cube is created, it is possible to update the data for the cube without completely recreating it. The SAS 9.2 OLAP Server enables one to incrementally update SAS OLAP cubes. An incremental update involves adding cell data and members to an existing SAS OLAP cube. Incremental updates of a cube are generally faster than rebuilding the cube from the combined set of input data and update data. There are several decisions one must make before one creates the cube that will make the incremental update process run smoother. One will need to decide how to structure the cube and the input data as well as choose a method of update.

whitepaper It's 9:00am - Do You Know Where Your Critical Talent Is?: Retention Analytics for Human Capital Management2008-02-18 SAS Institute
  Employee retention is an increasingly serious issue in many business sectors. Understanding which factors cause employees to leave and which actions retain them is an important Business Intelligence application. This paper demonstrates analytic methods to address this problem. Data mining and predictive modeling can be used to improve retention of critical employees. The business user can use the retention analysis to generate reports that show how the loss of critical skills would affect an organization. Reports identify job groups, geographical regions, or organizational areas that have higher risk for employee voluntary termination. Additionally, the influential drivers to high-risk groups are identified to suggest the best course of action to reduce the risk.
