Business Intelligence Discoverer is used to access and analyze data in the database and create reports. Since it supports web-based publishing of reports, it serves as a single tool to query, analyze, report and publish it in the web. It is a very useful tool for non-technical or business analysts.
It is used only by a department and not across the organization.
It addresses the business problem of getting immediate access to data and analyze data in the database and create reports.

The Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) Discoverer is used by teams across the entire organisation for easy access to data and actionable-information in their day to day activities. For example, teams from the Marketing division use BI Discoverer to retrieve data that helps make decisions for running promotions. There are similar use cases for the Operations and Finance divisions as well.

Business Intelligence Discoverer is being used by my current department. We use it to analyze worker's compensation data, and run reports. It is also used to find results when an outside agency or trading partners have questions on current stats on things like the opioid crisis and disability rates. It is a quick and easy way to find results needed.

It is being used by our business as well as implemented to our clients. Business Intelligence discoverer is a tool-set for ad hoc querying, reporting, data analysis, and Web-publishing for the Oracle Database environment. Queries can be created and executed faster and the focus is aligned towards making decisions based on results rather than designing the queries.

OBIEE is a great tool by Oracle and we are using this tool to generate reports. We have more than 1000 users using this tool to analyze and build reports. Users use this tool Airforce-wide to generate multiple reports. We just migrated from Oracle Discoverer to OBIEE. This is being used across the organization and we have not seen issues so far.

Business Intelligence is used across all departments in the organization and it is used to provide analytical information to all business users which assists with business decisions in the respective departments. Users are able to get an overall picture of how the organization is performing at a glance. The executive team also uses these reports for decision making.

Business Intelligence Discoverer is being used agency wide. Our entire company supports our clients in the use and development of financial reports in it as well as the migration to Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE). The lack of visualization and ability to have the average users create reports is forcing our clients to look at alternative options. However, the seamless migration bath to OBIEE has helped us continue supporting our clients by delivering new and enhanced reports much faster than a full blown migration to a new product.

We use the Discoverer to extract and analyze data from our Avalon database. We are a manufacturing business and create a significant volume of test data. We need to analyze the data to look for trends and create predictions for future manufactures. Discoverer is also used to check methods of manufacture to ensure consistency in our process.

Data mining is a key element for our estate and we use Business Intelligence Discoverer to mine our CRM and Portfolio Manager data. We have scheduled reports setup that are dispatched across the company to various departments. Users create ad-hoc reports when required. Our Accounting departments also use the tool. Its widely used and very well respected by staff.

Discoverer is a great reporting tool and currently we use it across the organization but divided by business units - each business unit within the organization has their own setup for Discoverer. Discoverer puts great control in the hands of the end users. We divided user groups into Super Users and Consumers. Super Users of that group understand the data and create reports. Consumers will consume the reports and make a decision accordingly.

Being used across the entire organization. We use Discoverer to help mine data from our CRM (Oracle). The tool fills a gap between the raw data and the reporting needed by various departments. Some of the reports that are run are created centrally and stored in a company-wide, company-accessible database. Other reports are created "on the fly" and stored locally.

Business Intelligence Discoverer was used for some departments (majorly the BI department), the main focus user group is those who don't have enough in-depth SQL or let's say database knowledge. It's also only for those databases which don't have a complex relationship, and where the business user's graphic report requirement is quite straightforward. So, the end user can quickly transfer the info buried in the Oracle database to a more understandable chart and share with team members.

At my previous company, I was one of only two people who knew how to manage and work with databases as we were primarily using SQL in Access. Our organization had a need for deeper database integration with the amount of data we were pulling in and so they had opted to go with Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer as it did not require each user to know how to use or work in a database. This way, each member of the team could access the data and generate reports without needing to access the actual database.

Business Intelligence Discoverer has been the key user self-service reporting tool against Oracle E-Business Suite. Empowering the application users to create and run their own reports by developing a robust reporting structure has enabled application users to get the data they need when they need it without waiting on requests to the IT department. Discoverer is also used by Audit and Tax to pull data to support filings and respond to data requests.
