Well, I’ve been under a rock all morning (or at least at a client site configuring things) and just saw the announcements that Oracle bought Hyperion. (http://www.marketwatch.com/News/Story/Story.aspx?guid=%7bDD070F86-54F7-4709-A26A-12199FEB68B3%7d&siteid=yhoo&dist=yhoo) I think its a great move on their part, from what I’ve heard the buy was more for the Essbase side of the house rather than Brio. As always, I’m sure Oracle will find a way to keep Brio alive and the customers 😉 This comes as a surprise, there was talk about buying Hyperion a year or so ago, but all the recent ramblings were around Business Objects. Hopefully this is the last purchase Oracle makes in the BI space for a while, my head is about to explode with the influx of new components to learn.
