Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I utilized Oracle Data Visualization Cloud in my organization to solve a variety of business analytics needs, from providing live updating dashboards to the relevant executive teams, to analyzing the impact of various business moves on profitability and on customer use patterns. This has solved our problem of a lack of visibility into the actual impact of initiatives and reporting them to relevant people
