CD Group Accelerate For Oracle Business
Intelligence - Accelerate General Ledger Analysis
Data Sheet
CD Group's Accelerate offerings for Oracle® BI
are solutions that leverage predefined data
relationships and templates specifically for JD
Edwards customers. These frameworks connect to your
JD Edwards environment using the OBIEE platform,
providing a quick implementation and deployment
approach, while keeping the necessary flexibility to
fit your business requirements. Accelerate takes all
of the complexities of the underlying JDE data
relationships, and enable self sufficient users to
create their own financial content simply by
dragging and dropping fields in terms they are
familiar with. GL Analysis Accelerate offerings
create an 'analyze, and then query' mentality which
differs from the typical JD Edwards static
reporting.
GL Key
Performance Indicators
GL Analysis Accelerate offerings provide
valuable incite to actionable metrics such as:
Period Postings and Closing Balances
→What departments have
exceeded their budgeted expenses for the current month and for
the year as a whole?
YTD / QTD / MTD →
What are my general expenses for the year? For the
quarter? For the current month?
Current vs. Previous →
Which branch plants are selling more this year
compared to last year? Which ones are selling more this quarter
compared to last quarter?
Dimensional Analysis
Regardless if you are exploring a metric above or any of the
additional metrics contained in standard GL Accelerate, you have
the ability to break them down by any combination you want of
the descriptive attributes contained within the templates. As
part of the implementation, CD Group consultants work with you
to understand the appropriate naming conventions of your data,
and tailor your category codes and other important fields to use
your business jargon. Once configured, you can create reports
and dashboards breaking down your metrics by the following and
their attributes:
- Company
- Business Units
- Chart of Accounts
- Time Calendars
Our standard GL Accelerate template includes an out-of-the-box
chart of accounts hierarchy, and our consultants will work with
you to create other customizable dimensional hierarchies where
appropriate, enabling "drill-down" types of analysis in OBIEE
Answers, and allowing for better interaction of any GL
Dashboards that are created.
Extensibility
CD Group has three fundamental GL Accelerate offerings; GL
Accelerate, GL Accelerate Plus, and GL Accelerate DW. The base
Accelerate offering connects directly to JD Edwards, allowing
for a very quick implementation and resulting in real time data
for the end users.
Accelerate Plus includes everything the base Accelerate offering
has, and adds the power of Essbase Cubes. These cubes enhance
the end user experience with faster response times, and allow
write back capabilities to analyze various "what if" scenarios
for planning, budgeting and forecasting. This OLAP tool also
provides Excel add-in capabilities for slicing and dicing
of the cubes within the comfort of Excel.
Accelerate DW offerings leverage Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) to
extract data from JD Edwards and load it into a fully conformed
data warehouse. The structure of the data warehouse is optimized
into a star schema for better handling of large data sets. The
OBIEE end user platform then sits on top of the data warehouse,
giving end users the same capabilities that exist in the base
Accelerate offering, only with better performance.
Summary
Regardless of which option you choose, end users will enjoy all
of the end user functionality that comes standard with the OBIEE
platform. Implementations are rapid with a focus on driving you
to self sufficiency. CD Group will work with you to determine
your best entry point to fit your needs. You can then grow at
your own pace by adding additional functionality, or by adding
additional subject areas. GL Accelerate offerings will help you
make the most of your JD Edwards investment providing visibility
to key financial metrics and helping to enable faster month end
closings, all while lessoning the burden on your IT Department.
