Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Analytics Cloud Service
OACS is used on a distributed reporting platform in the US for reporting to the UK parent. It is a global organization in the infrastructure and construction space. OACS solves the consolidation issues posed by large global organizations on different GL / ERP platforms, time zones, currencies and sizes. Not the entire organization uses OACS, however, given the Oracle universe an appropriate product for size and utility is definitely available.
- Financial Consolidation (Actuals)
- Financial Consolidation (Forecast)
- Financial Consolidation (Budget)
- Divisional reporting
- Management reporting and distribution
- Integration with Excel
- Ease of Cloud / Web reporting development
- Exporting and building forms for either cloud use or Excel
Oracle EPM Cloud seems to be the leader in this space. By my estimation, OACS is definitely leading the big 3 (IBM Cognos and SAP, being the other two) in terms of being progressive, features, dev tools for the end user, end user empowerment and plain old marketing.
