According to a February 2010 report from independent analyst firm Forrester Research, Oracle is a leader in predictive analytics and data mining (PA/DM).

“The Forrester Wave™: Predictive Analytics And Data Mining Solutions, Q1 2010,” written by Senior Analyst James G. Kobielus, states that “Oracle provides a PA/DM solution portfolio that is built into its own widely adopted DBMS, DW, data integration, and BI platforms, with a wide range of prepackaged predictive applications, and it provides a powerful assortment of algorithms for mining complex structured and unstructured information types.”

An option to Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition, Oracle Data Mining enables customers to integrate actionable predictive information and build into business intelligence and other applications. Using the data mining functionality in Oracle Database 11g, customers can easily find patterns and insights otherwise hidden in their data warehouses.
