The document outlines the plans of the Department of Transport, Victoria to implement Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) to improve business reporting across various systems like Oracle E-Business and Hyperion. It discusses conducting a needs analysis and options analysis followed by a technology discovery stage to evaluate Oracle BI's capabilities. Based on a pilot, Oracle BI and Oracle Financial Analytics were selected for purchase and implementation in stages, establishing reporting infrastructure and enabling delivery of reporting capabilities. The project aims to create an enhanced eBusiness reporting environment to better support decision making.

Editor's Notes
The key to the table above is as follows: Easy – A current path to the source exists and it will only take a small change to include the required detail to be extracted from eBusiness Dimension – A decision will need to be made by the business to determine if this data is required as a dimension. Otherwise it can be extracted in row detail format which is again a small change to the ETL process. Analysis – Further analysis will be required to determine the best approach to extract this information from eBusiness to include in the data warehouse.
