The typical use case for Oracle Big Data Appliance, which my clients use, is usually that the customer who has an Oracle application uses it because they can leverage the storage part.

I don't need to ship my data from the Oracle database application into another data warehouse or big data solution. I have everything in one place. All the clients that I dealt with are Oracle houses.

I am a consultant and I provide services that include this solution.

One of my customer's use cases was regulatory work, specifically with a Medicare application. The solution was designed for regulatory reporting and claim management.

I use Big Data Appliance to have a single source of truth for my data and to keep all my data in one place.

We use Oracle OBI EE to allow end-users in our organization to build reports from our databases based on their needs and roles.
