The Problem: Breaking Through Data Analysis Barriers

Oliver Wyman had been relying on OBIEE for over a decade to maintain a single version of truth in its data. However, the platform lacked modern, self-service data visualization capabilities. The user community faced significant challenges in transferring large volumes of OBIEE data to Tableau, a tool they adopted for its advanced visualization features.

The initial solution, a web data connector, failed to support complex union queries and was incompatible with the latest versions of Tableau. This led to frustration among users and a decline in engagement.

The Solution: Finding BI Connector

Oliver Wyman explored BI Connector and found it to be the perfect solution. Eric Nizard from Oliver Wyman stated, “We were really looking for something which was like a modern, more self-service. So we started to look at the tools in the marketplace and then very quickly landed on Tableau.”

However, Tableau alone couldn’t meet their integration needs. They explored BI Connector and found it to be the perfect solution. By trying the free trial version, they quickly established live connectivity between OBIEE and Tableau. BI Connector supported the complex union queries and was compatible with the latest Tableau versions, instantly solving the existing challenges.

In the words of Eric Nizard, Director of Data & Analytics at Oliver Wyman, “BI Connector enabled self-service Tableau visualization for OBIEE, significantly enhancing the value of our Tableau deployment by automating data flow from OBIEE.” Watch the video below to learn more about how Oliver Wyman leveraged BI Connector to overcome their data challenges.
