General direction for BI Suite SE and EE

Here are some highlights from the Open World session. I've also linked to photos of the slides if you're interested in how it was all presented:

• The release schedule for BI Suite EE is firstly to release version 10.1.2.2, with support for user-defined custom members and new graph styles, and then the 10.2.3 release which has support for enhanced custom members. The 11g release will then feature JSR-168 portal integration, integration with BI Suite EE Answers, Dashboards and Delivers, and will come with migration utilties and methodologies to support moves to BI Suite EE.
• Discoverer customers will have three options going forward: to stay with Discoverer indefinitely, to stay with Discoverer but take advantage of EE features such as Dashboard and Delivers, or to migrate to EE. Migration is optional though and there's no compulsion.
• The forthcoming "Maui" release of BI Suite EE has 200 new features including Oracle OLAP integration, RSS feeds, Linux support and 64-bit support.
• The new Maui release (10gR3 V10.1.3.2)'s 200 new features can be categorised into six areas: firstly Lower cost of setup & administration, analytic server enhancements and dashboard and reports enhancements, and secondly Fusion Middleware integration, Oracle DBMS & OLAP integration and Security enhancements (see slides for more details), and
• The 11g release ("Negril") will feature enhancements around the Analytic Server, dashboards, better OTLP and BI integration, and support for MS Office 12.
