Finance teams who struggle to meet the demand for recurring operational reports are increasingly adopting Oracle ERP Cloud for ease of access to real-time data. While Oracle ERP Cloud offers a multitude of features that will accelerate your reporting efforts, you should consider additional support to ensure that you are getting the most out of your investment.

Challenges with Existing Operational Reporting Tools

Oracle Cloud users love having easy access to real-time data when creating operational reports, but there are some downsides to the native ERP reporting tools. Why are nearly 90% of teams unhappy with their operational reporting tools?

Reporting is slow. Building custom reports takes time. Out-of-the-box reporting rarely covers specific organizational needs when it comes to operational reporting. The burden of creating and modifying these reports falls on IT, resulting in long lead times for custom-built reports and a lack of operational visibility for the organization.

63% of IT decision makers find that Finance is over-reliant on IT.

Reporting is complex. Creating custom operational reports with Oracle Cloud applications requires deep technical knowledge and skill. Organizations must understand how to extract complex data on a regular cadence and present the reporting to end users to manipulate through an interactive BI tool.

Reporting is inflexible. Out-of-the-box reporting is inflexible. It’s hard to quickly grasp the meaning of operational data when it’s presented in a tabular form that has no real interactivity or drill-down capability to be able to analyze and investigate issues and variances. Users struggle to tailor reports to fulfill the needs of their audience, and they require deep technical expertise to be able to self-serve.
