At Oracle OpenWorld yesterday there were Flex applications EVERYWHERE! There are even more to come today but before that I need to show off a few others from yesterday that we were able to grab pictures of.
These days how can you do data visualization without Flex? With the number of BI companies now using Flex it seems you can’t. I’m glad to see Oracle’s BI team using Flex and I’m looking forward to seeing more sexy dashboard goodness from them soon. Here’s a rather blurry photo of the new Flex based BI Publisher Dashboard (courtesy of Todd Ruhl):
Keep up the great work Oracle!

Hi James
Thats just for starters – as you saw, Publisher can consume Flex as a template format and we inject the data into the resulting Flex(Flash) output for truly portable interactive reports. I get to build the demos in Flex and Im having a ball with it – just wish I had more time to spend on it.
We’re now prototyping some of our new BIP tools in Flex including report, data extraction builders and a very slick ’slice and dicer’ app. We love it!
