# 1 Overview

Oracle Product Lifecycle Analytics (OPLA) is a comprehensive, prebuilt Business Intelligence solution that delivers pervasive intelligence and provides key insights into your Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) data. OPLA provides an integrated view enabling greater alignment of information across product organizations. OPLA is built on the Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) ETL and Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition (OBIEE) platforms.

OPLA addresses business use cases specific to these Agile PLM solutions:

- Product Quality Management (PQM)

- Product Collaboration (PC)

- Product Portfolio Management (PPM)

- Agile PLM for Process: New Product Development (NPD)

- Global Specification Management (GSM)

OPLA allows you to use different source systems. Data is transferred from the source systems to the OPLA target analytical data store. In OPLA, the transactional data sources are either Agile PLM 9.x or Agile PLM for Process.
