Publisher Description
BI Consulting Group has developed what is recognized as the most complete, most comprehensive set of dashboard and report design “best practice” standards ever developed, specific to Oracle Business Intelligence (formerly Siebel Business Analytics). These best practices have not been created simply to provide a “standard”, instead they are based on the most important litmus test – what standards actually cause dashboards to be used, and what “best practices” of dashboard and report development provide insight into the business, rather than just reports. This guide was started with the Siebel Analytics 7.8.x platform, before Oracle acquired Siebel. The current version of the guide reflects Oracle’s 10.1.3.3.x releases of Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE). Expect this guide to be enhanced and revised with subsequent major releases of OBIEE.

Bad formatting makes it difficult to read
This is one of the few technical books available in iBooks. I was excited as I would like to see more technical books supported here. I just downloaded a sample of this book just to check it out. This review is about the eBook formatting in iBook than the book because i could not get past the poor formatting/presentation in iBook. Perhaps these are iBook bugs? I select a font and on landscape view it is applied to left page only, or in portrait mode, fonts switch from one section to another. No, it isn't to delineate emphasizes or quotes where you might normally see font change, either. The line breaks happens at really odd places that totally changes the visual presentation of a paragraph, affecting the cadence of reading. Or it doesn't happen that section header ends up at the tail end of the prior paragraph/sentence.
I tried adjusting the fonts and font sizes, portrait and landscape to no avail. I can't justify paying $25 for this as it currently is. Not even usable even if it was free! You'd think publisher/author would preview the book in iBook before playing to sell it there. Not ready for prime time!
