Simplify Oracle Cloud ERP Reporting with Orbit’s Operational Reporting Solution

In today’s rapidly changing world, business leaders are looking for a world-class operational reporting platform. They want a plug-and-play solution that can be used by business users, with minimal support from IT.

For operational leaders using Oracle’s Cloud ERP solution, there is a clear need for a self-service operational reporting product. They want a tool that will help them go from data-to-reports-to-insights as seamlessly as possible. Additionally, even in organizations where Oracle Cloud ERP has been used, some other on-prem business systems do exist. In this case, business users need a reporting solution that can blend data from multiple sources.

Orbit’s Reporting and Analytics solution seamlessly integrates with Oracle Cloud ERP Applications and facilitates building reports using data residing in the cloud. Some of its key features include:

Adhoc Data Reporting:

Operational reports are usually presented in a tabular layout and comprise a no. of columns. In the Orbit tool, these reports are called “Data Reports” and they are designed to handle large volumes of data. It also offers business users the ability to search, organize and interpret data quickly.

Operational Insights:

Business users from across teams can analyze the same report, but each user with a different intent. Orbit’s tool makes it easy for individual business users to derive personalized insights – relevant to their context. In Orbit, this can be done without the need to modify underlying code.

SQL DirectQuery:

With Orbit’s SQL DirectQuery, there is no need to save scripts on a user’s PC; Users can centrally maintain, share and reuse scripts as SQL Models to create reports that cannot be produced by semantic data models, and also create data extracts.

Report delivery

With Orbit Reporting and Analytics, you can output your data any way you like. Design templates – such as invoices or purchase orders (in Word or Excel) with just a few clicks.

• Extract ERP Cloud data and combine the data output with on-premise data

Orbit provides an interactive user interface (UI) that controls the frequency of data synchronization. It also supports Oracle Cloud’s HCM extract.

Orbit’s GL Sense is an Excel-based reporting tool that synchronizes with Oracle general ledger and sub-ledger applications. This lets users create real-time financial statements within minutes.

With Orbit FSG, users can:

Feature #4 – Data Governance and Security

Orbit makes it easy to comply with your organization’s data governance and security requirements at the application and data levels. Orbit leverages Oracle Identity and Access Management as well as built-in security management features that control security down to a field level. This ensures compliance with the security policies and standards associated with application and data integration.

Along with user authentication, it eliminates vulnerabilities such as misuse of enterprise data. By leveraging the same security features as Oracle ERP Cloud, Orbit automatically syncs the roles and provides permission-based access. In case of a change in role in Oracle Cloud ERP, Orbit automatically updates the information and provides access accordingly.

Feature #5 – Automatically Convert Your Discoverer Reports

Oracle discontinued support for its ad hoc reporting tool, Discoverer, in June 2017. Migrating those reports to any other reporting tool can be a challenge as it is a manual process and can be prone to errors apart from being time-consuming.

Orbit offers a free Discoverer Migration Assistant to automatically convert your existing Discoverer reports that can be accessed and processed in Orbit. The Assistant can help to quickly and efficiently migrate your reports and improve your reporting with Oracle E-Business Suite data.
