Creating an Unified Dashboard of Disparate Systems

Why a Unified Dashboard Matters

A unified dashboard provides a centralized view of key business metrics and insights, enabling data-driven decision-making. It helps businesses:

• Gain real-time visibility into operations.

• Break down data silos.

• Improve collaboration across departments.

How Oracle Integration Cloud Enables Unified Dashboards

Oracle Integration Cloud simplifies the process of connecting legacy systems and creating a unified dashboard through:

Pre-built Connectors: OIC provides pre-built adapters for various technologies, enabling seamless integration with non-Oracle systems.

Data Mapping and Transformation: Built-in tools allow for data transformation and normalization from multiple data sources.

API Management: Legacy systems can be exposed as APIs, making their data accessible for dashboard reporting.

Event-Driven Architecture: OIC supports real-time data synchronization, ensuring dashboards reflect the most current information.

Connectivity Agents: Connectivity agents in OIC help securely integrate on-premises legacy systems without exposing them directly to the cloud. These lightweight agents facilitate communication between on-premises applications and the cloud, ensuring secure and reliable data transfer.

Steps to Build a Unified Dashboard with OIC

Identify Data Sources: Catalog the legacy systems and data points to be included.

Configure Connections: Use OIC adapters and connectivity agents to establish secure connections to each system.

Define Integration Flows: Set up data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) processes.

Push Data to a Dashboard Tool: Integrate with Oracle Analytics Cloud or other dashboard solutions.

Monitor and Optimize: Continuously monitor data flows and optimize performance.

Benefits of Using OIC for Dashboard Creation

Reduced Complexity: Simplifies data integration across multiple legacy systems.

Enhanced Data Accuracy: Real-time synchronization minimizes data discrepancies.

Scalability: Easily accommodates additional data sources as business grows.

Conclusion

Oracle Integration Cloud provides a comprehensive solution for creating a unified dashboard from disparate legacy systems. By breaking down data silos and enabling real-time data visibility, businesses can make more informed decisions and drive operational efficiency.
