  3. You can add a more complete solution for ETL, and platform independent, called Oracle Data Integrator.

    As BI tools, you have a more accesible solution called Oracle BI Suite Standard Edition One, who has the same architecture as OBIEE, but less client tools, such as Delivers, Disconnected Analytics, MS Office plug-in... but it includes Answers, Dashboards and BI Publisher. It's a complete suite, and you can upgrade to OBIEE as your requierements grows up. It includes standar database and Oracle Warehouse Builder too.

  4. I can add that Oracle Data Integrator is capable to get data from heterogeneous sources, and then, it can load transformed data in heterogeneus database servers too. So it's the most complete solution por ETL (EL-T).

  5. You left out Information Builders.

    Information Builders offers both Business Intelligence and Integration tools from a single platform. There are ETL, Performance Management and Search solutions built on top of this platform as well as the standard BI functionality you'd expect. The integration offering handles both EIM and MDM with native data adapters for over 300 data sources.
