Oracle Named a Leader in Embedded Analytics by Nucleus Research

In its analysis of the market, Nucleus Research Senior Analyst Alexander Wurm wrote: “Oracle is positioned as a Leader in the 2022 Embedded Analytics Technology Value Matrix as recognized for the embedded capabilities of the Oracle Analytic Cloud platform. The Oracle Analytics Cloud platform provides capabilities across the entire analytics process, including data ingestion and modelling, data preparation and enrichment, visualization, and collaboration, with integrated security and governance.

Tools SDK

Tools SDK is a powerful tool for developers that allows for simplified interrogation of Oracle Analytics Cloud workbooks, enabling developers to perform tasks such as retrieve specific data values, generate textual descriptions, refresh data, and create thumbnails of projects or visualizations. This SDK also supports the new story exchange format (SEF), which helps generate AI avatar newscasts using third-party providers such as Synthesia. The format uses Tools SDK to retrieve relevant information from the workbook, transforms it into a textual narrative, and then passes it through the SEF to the AI avatar vendor to render the newscast video.
