Converting Disco and FSG’s to BIP

Here’s the address to download the slides for today’s session. It’s in an hour’s time and the pressure is on, as last night I was awarded “UKOUG Inspiring Presentation 2010″ for last year’s presentation (”A BI Reporting Roadmap”).

Our session at this year’s UKOUG conference demonstrates some of the powerful functionality in BIP in the context of converting Discoverer and FSG (Financial Statement Generator) reports to BIP.

  • The session takes you through and end to end conversion of a FSG to a BIP report, concentrating on data templates.
  • I concentrate on Data templates as I’ve done loads of presentations on Presentation templates before (and some knowledge of them is assumed in this presentation).
  • The presentation culminates with bursting an FSG equivalent report (actual, budget, variance by cost centre and nominal, period and YTD (year to date)).
  • The report emulates drill down and is truly awe inspiring.

Check out the presentation here and get in touch with any questions or observations.
