Strategically Distributing and Deploying Oracle BI Mobile in the
EnterpriseJune 26, 2013 | 3pm
KScope2013 | Session #15Christian Screen
Session Abstract
The Oracle BI Mobile iPad application is based on a public distribution system via the Apple App Store. Its ability to connect to an organization's non-externalized Oracle BI server typically requires a VPN connection to be opened on the tablet device before leveraging the OBIEE mobile application. There are tremendous security concerns surrounding opening VPN access to other applications downloaded to the device. This session covers the latest Mobile Security kit released by Oracle and provides a high to mid-level overview of how implementing containerization and an internal application deployment strategy can help achieve ubiquitous mobile deployment and any organization. By the end of this presentation attendees should understand a basic strategy for successfully deploying mobile Oracle BI while adhering to security standards.

BYOD vs. Corporate Devices
Bring Your Own Device Not Bring Your Own Disaster; Bring your device of choice
Costs go down, worker productivity goes up * Reduces Redundancy of Devices Not built for the Enterprise or its Stringent Security Requirements So, Why not just have Corporate Devices in the first place?
Before the iPhone, Who competed with RIM Blackberry?

The Challenge with Mobility Policies
Only 44% of the Enterprise has a policy 62% predicted by end of 2013 61% of the 44% >= 1 Year Established Policy
11
* Based on TechRepublic and ZDNet Survey Resultshttp://www.zdnet.com/unavoidable-62-percent-of-companies-to-allow-byod-by-years-end-7000010703/
The Challenge with Mobility Policies
MDM policy is usually Enterprise –wide not specific to a single app Idea of BYOD policy is novel Managing BYOD policy (MDM) is a full-time job in an enterprise Additional costs associated with a MDM Solution IT gives up a bit of control. Users aren’t sure if this is real power. Creating a clear policy for both corporate and employee owned
devices Too many types of devices What data to wipe and when? Service costs to employees when required to access company info
on their mobile device Example: non Wi-Fi access on user’s limited wireless plan However, stipends are saving companies ~ 25%
12
Challenges with Mobile BI
It is a single mobile application It can be accessed via the tablet browser but also a mobile app Developing reports for mobile first doesn’t always make sense How do you provide access to individuals that work with you not
necessarily for you. Is your BI program an enterprise-wide initiative?
Are there field users and CXO users? What’s the total user count? How many users should have mobile access? Yes, surface your Hyperion Planning, HFM, and Essbase data and metadata
Oracle BI is ready right now for Enterprise Mobility, MDM, etc. How can we drive policy for this single application? Is access to BI data required outside of the firewall – in the field?

We’ve Moved Beyond Simple Communication
We are in the “Post-Blackberry” Era

Working with Oracle BI Mobile Deployment Scenarios

Oracle BI Mobile on the iPad
Android and Blackberry options Not Available as of 6/2013

Preparing to Plan is Planning to Fail
BI Teams and IT Administration Teams must Collaborate
What’s the Goal for Your Oracle Mobile BI?

Let’s Talk Mobile BI Distribution Scenarios
Three viable scenarios for Distributing Oracle Mobile BI: Scenario A
Default OOTB Oracle BI Mobile Open to internal network only
Scenario B Open to VPN Users Extension of Scenario A
Scenario C Mobile Device Management MDM Center of Excellence

Waiting my iPad to Come
iTunes download is free App is ready to go once installed on device
It’s free to download but there is a license costs if not on the Oracle BI Foundation Suite
Why Only for the iPad?
Oracle tends to follow the 80/20 rule when developing

Let’s Talk Scenarios – Scenario A
Scenario A – Out of the Box Option1. Get iPad (i.e.: BYOD)2. Download Oracle BI Mobile App from iTunes Apps Store3. Connect to OBIEE Server with standard security or SSO4. Enjoy Analytics:
Within the confines of the Building Wi-Fi
Usual Discussions Inability to manage application versions Inability to wipe device data, etc. No Corporate Customizations Users may alternatively use the tablet’s web browser Users are limited to Internal Network (Wi-Fi)
Let’s Talk Scenarios – Scenario A
Scenario A – Potential Solution for Access and Security A High Availability Oracle BI 11g Environment implies SSL and Infrastructure.

Let’s Talk Scenarios – Scenario B
Scenario B – The VPN Option Same as and provides same approach Scenario A Use VPN capabilities to users (Often combined with Single Sign-on) Enjoy Analytics:
Within the confines of your Company’s VPN Tunnel Outside of the Company firewall
Usual Discussions Same as and provides same approach Scenario A Leverage existing VPN Technology investment already probably implemented Our vendors/customers are not on our network and need to see dashboards Allows external firewalled entry into network (the entire Network!) How many times will I have to log in?
Let’s Talk Scenarios – Scenario B Setting up VPN on iOS Device
Same as on iPhone as iPad
Let’s Talk Scenarios – Scenario C
Scenario C1. Get iPad (i.e.: BYOD)2. Application Developers get Mac OS, Xcode, Apple Developer Account, Oracle
BI Mobile security toolkit3. Company leverages an MDM Solution or Internal Enterprise App Store4. Download OBIEE from corporate app store/repository5. Enjoy Analytics within the confines of your Company’s Mobile Policy
Usual Discussions Is this an IT purchase decision or can it be departmental? Do we need an MDM Solution? How is security controlled? Can we wipe the device’s data or remove an app administratively? So, the Oracle BI Mobile Security Toolkit Doesn’t Give Us This!
Scenario C - Enterprise App Store
What Could We Do if We Just Understood How it all Works!

Scenario B & C May Use Single Sign-On
Single Sign-On requires first being authenticated via network Provides a means for integrated security with Mobile App Still Requires Configuration on Oracle BI implementation

Deploying Oracle Mobile BI
BYOD users have applications in “Containers” Containers open a secure tunnel to the network (i.e.: behind the
firewall) for all corporate MDM Apps

Just Give Me My Dashboard on the iPad
VPN is proven and “always” works, even on the iPad Who complex is VPN access to manage vs. a standardized MDM Policy
Complete and prevailing control requires MDM Visually there will be differences; There should be!

Mobile Device Management Software and Concepts

Mobile Device Management Providers
Lots of Providers Of course, there is a cost. It’s an Technology Management Tool Most major vendors have a tool but niche mobile companies have
focused advantages
40
Distributing Oracle Mobile BI
VPN Scenario BYOD Download the latest Oracle BI Mobile HD App Use VPN to connect to network via App on iPad Access via Mobile App or Web Browser Again, it does not provide the means to wipe a device’s data or app
Internal Network or Public DNS Scenario BYOD Download the latest Oracle BI Mobile HD App Use on-site Wi-Fi to connect to guest network or DMZ via App on iPad Access via Mobile App or Web Browser
41
Distributing Oracle Mobile BI
Distribute on Internal or 3rd Party App Stores BYOD or Corporate Issue Compile Custom Logic via OBI Mobile Security Tool Kit Distribute via App store of choice Download the latest Oracle BI Mobile App from MDM Corporate App Store
MDM Scenario BYOD or Corporate Issue Compile Custom Logic via OBI Mobile Security Tool Kit Distribute via the MDM solution App store Download the latest Oracle BI Mobile App from MDM Corporate App Store
42
Summary
BYOD is happening, so don’t get left behind Push for mobile now as a user and more granularity as network
security Deploy Oracle BI mobile in test groups with buy-in from CXO-level Develop a strategy for mobile BI.
Think Location Intelligence not just maps an tables Design for mobile for mobile users – not one size fits all It’s okay to start with VPN Prepare to skill-up your teams for mobile
