Orbit Platform
Security, report catalog, metadata, scheduling, and governed refresh.
Microsoft Excel
Live workbooks with formulas, pivots, charts, formatting, and analysis.
Two Excel Products
Purpose-Built Reporting for Finance and Operations
Position this page under Products as the unified Excel Reporting destination, then route visitors into the right product based on whether they need financial statements and GL detail or operational reporting from live application data.

Orbit XLEdge for Operational
Reporting
