10. Oracle Commerce:
Cool Stuff/Lessons Learned
In-Preview
Editing
Provides
business users
the ability to
make changes
while viewing a
page… but
requires preview
integration and
proper tagging.

11. Oracle Commerce:
Cool Stuff/Lessons Learned
XM “Site”
Capability

13. Endeca Information Discovery:
Cool Stuff/Lessons Learned
Mashing up structured and
unstructured data is easy and
uncovers new insights
Creating geospatial heat maps
and using unstructured data are
user friendly and truly self
service
A few “gotchas” to be aware of
•Once you have loaded data using the data
integrator you have to continue using it, and
cannot just mash up a spreadsheet
•Geospatial is “cool” but it only maps points
on a map, and will not connect the points to
draw lines (requires customization)
•Migrating applications is not a simply
import/export process. Only the pages are
included in exports, and not the data
