Of interest will be the differences b/w Discoverer & Answers. What functionality do we gain, what do we lose...
Also, any advice on formal education options to learn BIEE, aside from Oracle Education (too pricey)?
Looking forward to your posts...

Dan,
Thanks for that feedback - the differences between Discoverer and Oracle BI EE is certainly something I plan to cover in more detail. Here are some of the key differences in Oracle BIEE:
- Alerting, scheduling and distribution using Delivers
- Pure thin client interface for ad hoc queries
- Highly interactive dashboards
- Tight MS Office integration with Excel and PowerPoint
Regarding learning Oracle BI EE - try the Oracle By Example series on OTN: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/index.html
