]]> If any one word could encapsulate 2023, it would be “uncertainty.” For most of the year, finance teams have been preparing for a recession that never quite reached the heights (or depths) heralded by the media. And while no one is disappointed, constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop has had a notable impact on finance leaders’ approach to, well, everything.

Over the last 12 months, as we emerged from the pandemic, CFOs approached the finance function with a sense of realism and pragmatism, prioritizing functional growth in their budgets and plans over resource growth. They have invested in training existing employees over hiring additional people and in marketing existing hero products over developing new products. The need for greater efficiency and more accurate forecasting led CFOs to re-evaluate the tools and processes on hand and their ability to overcome skills shortages and drive agility.

Now, as we head into 2024, CFOs continue to seek balance and efficiency through digital transformation. A recent Hanover survey found that 70% of respondents feel pressure from inflation, economic disruption, and recession. Meanwhile, Robert Half recruitment data shows that nearly 90% of hiring managers are having a hard time finding skilled talent to join their finance teams.

With interest rates still rising, skills shortages still posing a challenge, and the specter of recession still haunting board rooms, CFOs are looking to technology to connect data, build agility, and drive profitability.

Connected Data Will be Pivotal to Driving Profitability in 2024

In today’s dynamic business environment, data connectivity is key to increasing business agility and driving profitability. CFOs will need to pursue a two-prong strategy, sustaining healthy revenue and reducing costs, to achieve financial stability and enhance investor confidence. Next year, the top priority for CFOs is to foster a culture of financial discipline within their organizations, shifting their attention to enhancing the efficiency, agility, and resilience of their finance teams.

Sustaining Healthy Revenue

By consistently generating revenue, an organization shows its resilience, financial stability, and ability to weather market fluctuations. Cash metrics and liquidity show a company’s ability to weather financial challenges and satisfy its short-term obligations, both attractive qualities for investors during uncertain economic times. A focus on sustaining revenue not only enhances financial stability, but also safeguards investor confidence, reinforcing the organization’s position in the market and supporting long-term profitability goals.

Decreasing Operational Costs

Reducing operational costs without reducing operational efficiency is key to driving profit in an uncertain market. Efforts to decrease costs involve streamlining operations, negotiating favorable supply chain terms, exercising stringent cost control, optimizing employee productivity, and implementing energy-efficient practices. These activities collectively reduce operational expenses, ensuring that the organization runs efficiently and cost-effectively.

Balancing these revenue-sustaining and cost-cutting efforts will be critical in 2024, enabling finance teams to fortify bottom lines and contribute to organizational profitability and long-term financial health.

CFOs Look to Automation and AI to Bridge the Efficiency Gap in 2024

Impacted by external factors like market disruption and skills shortages, finance leaders are looking to squeeze more value from existing resources; this means working smarter by leveraging automation and AI to improve efficiency and productivity. Generative AI, or GenAI, is still a new enough technology that CFOs are curious but noncommittal.

Finance leaders are excited about the productivity gains GenAI can provide but also wary of potential security risks. Much like business leaders use BI tools to visually see and understand data, executives need to understand how the data AI delivers is generated; given GenAI is predominantly a data output, executives can have concerns over how the numbers were generated and worried they are missing crucial business context.

For the upcoming year, proven automation tools with built-in AI capabilities will be the happy medium that provides finance teams with increased efficiency and data confidence without posing the security risks of a generative AI engine. Hanover research shows that many (43%) leaders plan to adopt new technology to close efficiency gaps while others seek to increase investment and training in existing technology to meet this goal.

Finance leaders will look to automation tools to:

2024 Goals: Connect Data, Enable Agility, Drive Profitability

External factors from market uncertainty, skills shortages, and the rising cost of debt are making a heavy impact on finance strategies for 2024. Technology that increases efficiency by simplifying reporting processes is important for finance teams to connect data, enable agility, and drive profitability.

]]> When extracting your financial and operational reporting data from a cloud ERP, your enterprise organization needs accurate, cost-efficient, user-friendly insights into that data. However, navigating the large datasets and numerous data sources and systems involved can pose threats to clean data that your reporting teams needs to confidently share actionable insights.

For your operational reporting teams that extract data from an Oracle Cloud Applications (OCA) ERP, choosing the best extraction method hinges on specific reporting needs, objectives, and other factors that include the use case and destination for your data. While real-time extraction is historically faster, your team needs the reliability of the replication process for your cloud data extraction.

The Challenges of Extracting Enterprise Data

Currently, various use cases require data extraction from your OCA ERP, including data warehousing, data harmonization, feeding downstream systems for analytical or operational purposes, leveraging data mining, predictive analysis, and AI-driven or augmented BI disciplines. Enterprise-level organizations like yours often have multiple data sources and systems. Similarly, the tools you use to run your enterprise are becoming increasingly diversified, from different vendors and cloud environments to various ERP systems and BI tools. Add in the de facto requirement to combine all your reporting data and it presents quite a challenge.

As more companies move their data into the cloud, methods for storing and managing that data also adapt and grow. This growth is caused, in part, by the increasing use of cloud platforms for data storage and processing. But it is also a result of the surge in multimedia content in cloud repositories that requires tools and methods for extracting insights from rich, unstructured data formats.

As your organization creates new departments, products, and services, you will see more and more data sources emerge. This evolving landscape means your organization must carefully choose tools and processes that offer the scalability to grow with your business. You need to be able to extract data the right way, with the right tool.

Replication Vs. Real-Time

Should your organization use a replication or real-time method to extract data from your OCA solution? The answer depends on your specific business needs and the nature of the data you are working with. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages:

Replication involves periodically copying data from a source system to a data warehouse or reporting database. This typically occurs on a schedule, such as hourly or daily.

  • Advantages:
    • Replication reduces the load on source systems because data extraction occurs at predefined intervals, reducing the real-time impact on production systems.
    • It provides consistency in data for reporting purposes, as you are working with snapshots of the data at a particular point in time.
    • It trends more cost-effective compared to real-time solutions because it requires fewer resources.
    • It ensures data consistency and provides a historical data trail, making it ideal for scenarios where maintaining a reliable record of data changes and supporting historical analysis are crucial for your team.
    • It reduces overhead and is more resource efficient as its processes involve batch updates at scheduled intervals, alleviating the continuous resource strain and infrastructure demands on your team associated with real-time reporting.
    • It is simpler and more predictable. It involves well-defined batch processes, making setup and maintenance straightforward, which can be especially advantageous when simplicity and manageability are prioritized.
  • Disadvantages:
    • Replication can cause delays in reporting because data is not updated in real time.
    • If your business requires up-to-the-minute data, replication may not be suitable.

Real-time data extraction involves continuously streaming or synchronizing data from source systems to your reporting system, ensuring that your reports are always based on the latest information.

  • Advantages:
    • Real-time reporting provides the most current data, which is crucial for businesses that require up-to-the-minute insights and decision-making.
    • It is suitable for scenarios where immediate action or monitoring is essential, such as fraud detection or stock trading.
    • It excels in situations where immediate access to data for real-time decision-making and monitoring is essential. Each approach has its own set of advantages, and the decision should align with the specific requirements and trade-offs that best suit the organization’s goals and resources.
  • Disadvantages:
    • Real-time solutions can be complex to implement and may require more significant resources, both in terms of infrastructure and maintenance.
    • It can put a higher load on source systems, potentially impacting their performance.

How BICC Wins Out Over BIP

For your Oracle Cloud-based reporting team, using Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Connector (BICC) is the method Oracle recommends for extracting medium to high volumes of data. It is considered the optimal approach for deeper analytical insights, as it minimizes strain on the transactional database and improves overall performance. By utilizing BICC replication, your operational database can remain unaffected by the analytical workload. Angles Enterprise for Oracle uses the recommended BICC approach, allowing your reporting team to follow the preferred Oracle method.

The alternative to BICC is BI Publisher (BIP)​. While BIP reports can be generated with different output formats, including Excel files​, BIP is not intended as a data extraction tool but rather a reporting tool.​ Additionally, BIP is not recommended for medium or high volumes of data​ – which is where your enterprise reporting team’s data will most likely be stored.

So, why is BICC the right path forward? It’s the data replication process that:

  • Offers functional completeness​
  • Handles all data volumes​
  • Moves analytics workload away from your ERP system​
  • Prescribed by Oracle as the optimal method for data extraction in any meaningful volume​

Your team’s opportunities expand with BICC​ because it:

  • Works with Oracle agnostic BI tools​
  • Integrates with third-party data​
  • Integrate with cloud data warehouses and lake-houses​
  • Leverages augmented BI – LLMs, Process Mining, predictive analysis​

]]> Peoplesoft has been trusted since 1987 for outstanding HR management. The on-premises technology promises streamlined processes and real-time insights, and while some teams swear by Peoplesoft, others look farther ahead to leveraging the power of the cloud and the associated advanced capabilities. But what if you can have your cake and eat it too? Here, we discuss challenges, benefits, and how to make the most of a hybrid setup.

Embracing a Hybrid ERP

A hybrid system is a combination of hybrid and cloud ERPs. This is especially helpful for organizations that already have a complex and customized on-premises ERP that also want to leverage cloud capabilities. Hybrid systems are on the rise–a recent Google report found that 93% of organizations say they’re “mostly cloud” in some form, but a significant 48% say they’re “mostly hybrid.” Interestingly, this number has jumped 8% since 2020. Even fewer organizations are strictly on-premises at 7%.

Migrating fully to the cloud is a daunting task, especially for organizations that have invested significant time and money in customizing their on-premises system for their unique business needs. If you are attracted to the advantages of Oracle ERP Cloud, but don’t have the resources to support a hard switch, then choosing a hybrid approach may hold many advantages. You don’t have to reinvent the infrastructure that your business runs on while leveraging advanced, new cloud technology. But with two data streams hybrid instances can be challenging to manage and maintain without the right tools.

Migrating fully to the cloud is a daunting task, especially for organizations that have invested significant time and money in customizing their on-premises system for their unique business needs. If you are attracted to the advantages of Oracle ERP Cloud, but don’t have the resources to support a hard switch, then choosing a hybrid approach may hold many advantages. You don’t have to reinvent the infrastructure that your business runs on while leveraging advanced, new cloud technology. But with two data streams hybrid instances can be challenging to manage and maintain without the right tools.

Overcoming Cloud Migration Challenges

Maintaining a hybrid ERP approach, especially with a combination of on-premises and cloud-based solutions like PeopleSoft and Oracle ERP Cloud, poses several challenges for finance teams:

  • Integration challenges: Finance teams face hurdles integrating varied data formats in PeopleSoft and Oracle ERP Cloud, requiring careful planning and real-time synchronization for accurate financial analysis.
  • Security and compliance demands: Maintaining robust data security, encryption, and adherence to complex regulations like GDPR poses challenges in hybrid ERP environments, necessitating meticulous compliance practices.
  • Data quality and governance complexity: Ensuring consistent data accuracy amidst discrepancies, establishing clear governance policies, and managing financial data lifecycle across diverse systems demand constant vigilance and strategic management.

The good news is that the right automated reporting tool can overcome these challenges and mitigate the productivity lag and compliance risk commonly associated with cloud migration. By unifying data access and enabling real-time synchronization, an automated reporting tool eliminates data silos and ensures consistency for accurate financial analysis. Look for a vendor that addresses security concerns through encrypted data transmission and adherence to compliance regulations like GDPR and Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Streamlines data governance, enhancing data accuracy and allowing efficient management of data lifecycle tasks.

Pitfalls of Native Reporting Tools

Finding the right reporting tool to support your hybrid instance is key. The convenience of PeopleSoft’s native reporting tool nVision, can be alluring, but make sure you understand its limitations before trusting it with the success of your migration project.

With nVision, you can bring all your live data from PeopleSoft into an Excel spreadsheet. But this is when things can get sticky. To create the custom reports that your leadership is demanding, nVision can require technical knowledge that only IT departments possess. nVision skills are in short supply, so companies often become dependent on a handful of IT and/or external consultants to make small changes.

Beyond the need for technical know-how, there are other downsides when using PeopleSoft’s native reporting tool for finance:

  • Lack of intuitive, self-service functionality
  • Difficulty drilling into details
  • Requires technical knowledge to build and modify reports
  • Primarily designed for GL reporting, and not so much for PS Query
  • Requires its own Windows server to run, which adds additional cost and maintenance

If you are seeking a seamless switch to a hybrid ERP instance, then these limitations can pose a significant roadblock. Managing two data sources is hard enough without endless delays waiting for IT to generate the custom reports your business needs to navigate a turbulent market. Consider a third-party automated reporting tool that connects seamlessly to both ERP instances, offering complete oversight and a single source of truth for your finance team to efficiently report against.

Ensure a Seamless Transition to Your Hybrid Approach

Angles Professional can help you through your cloud migration and beyond. The solution fits seamlessly with hybrid ERPs by providing multi-source connectivity and a library of pre-built reports to get up and running quickly, all without having to wait for IT. With Angles Professional, you can:

  • Drill down to find the root cause of data discrepancies across systems.

]]> Finance teams are turning to automation for fast processing and actionable insights. This shift toward these stand-alone business intelligence tools is motivated by a need for rapid, informed decision-making in the competitive business landscape, allowing organizations to adapt swiftly to market changes and optimize their processes for better outcomes. However, leveraging these insights can be challenging if your reports and data don’t speak to each other.

Disconnected enterprise performance management (EPM) operational reporting can present significant limitations and challenges for your business. It can lead to outdated and inconsistent data, hindering timely decision-making processes. And maintaining this data consistency becomes difficult when information is spread across various disconnected systems, leading to errors and inefficiencies and an inability to tell your story.

Collaboration and communication can also be hampered, as sharing and updating reports becomes cumbersome and time-consuming. Moreover, the lack of real-time updates can result in missed financial opportunities and market strategies, impacting your organization’s overall efficiency and competitiveness in the market.

CXO Dashboards Meet Power BI to Turn Static Data Into Dynamic Insights

A recent survey by insightsoftware reported that 89% of organizations feel they are not getting high-value data insights from their EPM. This means that you likely aren’t able to access the data you need the way you need it.

That is why adopting a robust business intelligence solution that integrates with your EPM system could just be the solution you seek. By transforming static information into rich, dynamic report packs with integrated commentary you can tell the true story behind your numbers.

Together, CXO and Power BI provide you with access to insights from both EPM and BI data in one tool. You can now elevate their decision-making process by drilling down into more detailed data, and enriching EPM figures with non-financial data.

Transforming Financial Reporting with Dynamic Dashboards

1. Expand Your Reporting Insights

The EPM data reported through CXO are designed to provide you with aggregated insights. It can, for instance, tell from which country profit growth is coming. However, eventually you aren’t able to drill down further if you want to deep dive into this profit growth. This is because the transactional detail necessary for such analysis is captured in different software. Power BI struggles with connecting to EPM systems and representing EPM data. However, it is designed for transactional data reporting. By embedding Power BI reports in CXO dashboards, you can have the best of both worlds. You’ll have access to insights for both strategical and tactical decision making in the same tool.

2. Gain Richer Data Access

Beyond delving deeper into EPM data, you no doubt aim to enrich your CXO dashboards with information beyond what EPM systems offer. With the incorporation of Power BI reports, you can enhance CXO dashboards with diverse data points, such as NPS scores, ESG metrics, and project details. This integration consolidates all pertinent information within CXO, providing management with a comprehensive overview in one centralized location, eliminating the need to juggle multiple tools.

3. Benefit from Dynamic Data Interaction

The integrated Power BI reports respond to the filtering selections made within CXO. When you switch from one month to the next in CXO, the embedded Power BI report automatically adjusts to reflect the changes. Notably, member names in CXO and Power BI sources often differ.

By adopting this integration, you’ll unlock real-time insights, streamline processes, improve collaboration, and adapt to the ever-changing financial landscape, ultimately contributing to your organization’s success. With CXO and Power BI, you’ll be able to see your EPM, operational, and non-financial data in the same dashboard, give your management complete information with financial and non-financial KPIs, and be-able to do deep dive analyses from aggregated to transactional level. This will let you help better tell your company’s financial story.

]]> Reporting teams need to go beyond native reporting with deeper, flexible analysis of their data. Without the right control, they struggle with inflexible report layouts and spend days dumping data into spreadsheets, limiting the available time to focus on value-added analysis. 

If your finance team is using JD Edwards (JDE) and Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), it’s like they rely on well-maintained and accurate master data to drive meaningful insights through reporting. For these teams, data quality is critical. They need confidence that master data, encompassing customer details, product information, and supplier data, is updated and error-free. 

Data Quality Challenges for Reporting Teams 

Poor data quality impacts your team by introducing inaccuracies, inconsistencies, and inefficiencies into their reporting processes. Incomplete, outdated, or erroneous data means your team is generating unreliable insights which can lead to poor decision-making. Low data quality causes not only costly errors and compliance issues, it also reduces stakeholder confidence in the reported information. None of which is good for your team. 

Diving deeper into the top three challenges, teams typically encounter: 

  1. Data integration and complexity: One of the key challenges is integrating data from various sources and modules within your ERP systems. Both JDE and EBS are highly complex and may involve multiple modules that store data in different formats. Ensuring that data is integrated seamlessly for reporting purposes can be a daunting task. 
  2. Data quality and accuracy: Accurate, high-quality data is crucial for meaningful reporting. Inaccurate or inconsistent data leads to flawed insights and decisions. Maintaining data quality within JDE and EBS can be challenging due to the volume of data and the constant changes that occur in ERP systems. 
  3. Performance and scalability: As your organization grows, the volume of data in JDE and EBS systems increases. Reporting on large datasets can impact performance, leading to slower query response times and lags in real-time reporting. 

Addressing these challenges requires a combination of technical solutions, data governance practices, and a clear reporting strategy. You may need to invest in data integration tools, data quality management processes, and performance optimization measures to overcome these obstacles and derive valuable insights from your JDE or EBS systems.

The Tools Needed to Solve the Challenges 

As users of JDE or EBS, your team must have relevant, real-time insights so they can make more robust decision-making. They need a solution that doesn’t require complex technical tools to dig into their master data for the meaningful insights they must deliver. Accessing a vast library of pre-built, turnkey content templates for finance and operations reporting can ensure your team a fast time to value with minimal training required. 

Seek a solution that simplifies your users’ admin experience with a host of controls, including full integration with EBS and JDE security, as well as workflows, approvals, and user types to control access and provide a full audit trail. Enable access to master data to boost trust in accuracy and deliver higher-quality reports. 

Fortunately, there are products purpose-built for JDE and EBS that directly link to master data and offer the advanced, intuitive reporting functionality your team craves. With the proper tool, your team can solve their JDE or EBS data challenges by bringing all key metrics together in one place using easy-to-consume, real-time web dashboards to display meaningful visualizations.

]]> Your SAP system collects vast amounts of financial and operational data. But you only tap into a portion of SAP’s potential power when this data is kept siloed within separate departments, systems or spreadsheets. CFOs are under increasing pressure to provide actionable insights that guide leadership decision-making. In today’s turbulent market, it’s key that these insights include data inputs from across the whole organization, not just finance.

Our recent Hanover report echoes this sentiment. 48% of finance teams are seeing efficiency losses from global economic disruptions. To combat close this efficiency gap, the number one CFO priority is “increasing collaboration across teams and departments”.

To achieve oversight and agility, your finance team needs the right tools to aggregate all relevant data sources and provide the comprehensive analysis your leadership craves.

Why Finance Teams are Struggling
with Efficiency in 2023

Disconnected SAP Data Challenges

Siloed data poses significant collaboration challenges to your SAP reporting team like reporting delays, limited visibility of data, and poor data quality. Unable to collaborate effectively, your team will struggle to promptly respond to leadership needs and custom data queries required to navigate your business through troubled waters.

The top three challenges facing your SAP reporting teams’ data collaboration are:

  • Data integration complexities: You face reporting delays due to the complexities of integrating data from various silos.
  • Limited data accessibility: Restricted data access obstructs comprehensive reporting and limits visibility into business processes.
  • Data quality concerns: Data quality is impacted by inconsistent and incomplete data, stifling accurate reporting and analysis.

To give you a real-world application, supply chains all over the world are having to adjust. . Chief supply chain officers (CSCOs) require comprehensive oversight of organizational data to effectively manage supply chain efficiency.

Financial data helps CSCOs understand the financial implications of their decisions, while operational data provides context and actionable insights into how the supply chain is functioning on a practical level. If your SAP data is siloed, CSCOs might have operational data showing the efficiency of certain processes, but without corresponding financial data, they cannot assess the cost-effectiveness of those operations, thus hampering well-informed decision making.

To achieve oversight and agility, your finance team needs the right tools to aggregate all relevant data sources and provide the comprehensive analysis your leadership craves.

A Single Source of SAP Data Truth

Connected SAP data offers many advantages for your teams, including real-time visibility, improved data accuracy, consistency, efficiency, and cost savings.

Real-time Visibility and Decision-Making:

  • Timely and accurate data: Connected SAP data allows organizations to access real-time and up-to-date information from various departments and processes. This gives decision-makers access to current data for financial and operational reporting, reducing decision-making based on outdated information.
  • Faster decision-making: Real-time data enables faster decision-making, allowing organizations to respond quickly to ever-changing market conditions. This agility helps organizations capitalize on favorable circumstances.

Improved Data Accuracy and Consistency:

  • Data integrity: SAP data integration pushes consistent and accurate data across the organization. This reduces errors and discrepancies in financial and operational reporting.
  • Single source of truth: Connecting SAP data creates a centralized repository for financial and operational data, ensuring that all departments and stakeholders are working from the same set of data. This promotes data consistency and eliminates the need for manual data reconciliation.

Enhanced Efficiency and Cost Savings:

  • Automation: Teams can gain refreshable, drillable reports and close the books faster, leading to more time for insights and analysis.
  • Cost savings: Improved efficiency, reduced errors, and streamlined processes can lead to significant savings. Organizations can allocate resources more effectively and avoid unnecessary expenses associated with manual data handling.
