Oracle Ebs
Have you thought about Business Intelligence / Reporting solutions in the past but dismissed them as to expensive or complicated?  Have you considered “Big BI” which is designed for a power user analyst and a company that is prepared for a lengthy and costly deployment? 

iQ4bis offers a full cradle-to-grave Business Intelligence Solution for Oracle Ebs at a fraction of the cost.

Nearly three hundred clients have chosen iQ4bis for their analysis and reporting needs. Several of our clients have multiple data sources and had to spend less time aggregating and sorting data and more time empower their end users to make decision based off facts, not a ‘gut feeling’.

Typically, our JD Edwards clients are looking for:

  • A solution to interact with multiple data sources (Excel, legacy databases etc) including Oracle Ebs
  • A solution which is implemented in less than 2 weeks (and didn’t cost six figures!)
  • This tool should be user friendly enough for end business unit managers to become self sufficient for reporting without relying on IT.
  • This solution should be scalable and provide Finance Features (Actual vs. Budget vs. Forecast / AR /AP Cash flow etc.), Sales, Inventory Analysis and Supplier Scorecard and more. 
  • A vendor that is willing to back their claims by offering proof-of-concept equating to a mini implementation at no cost.

Still think reporting out of Oracle is ok?

Top 5 challenges regarding Report Design Aid (RDA) & WorldWriter:

  1. The inability to easily join data from Oracle with multiple tables into a single report, much less data from non-JDE sources i.e. Excel (example Budget), another ERP, CRM even a legacy database!
  2. Converting Julian format into something that is legible Example (108031) = 1/31/2008.
  3. Converting UDC (user defined codes) to the actual description.
  4. One report generates 10 new requests. "The Reporting Ping Pong".
  5. Enabling end users to become self-sufficient for information WITHOUT relying on IT!


Why iQ4bis?

  1. Pre-built Solutions for Oracle include: Sales Analysis, Finance Analysis (GL, Actual vs. Budget, AR/AP, Cashflow), Inventory and supply chain scorecards.
  2. iQ4bis has won Gartner Group’s Midsize Enterprise Innovation™ Award for Best Midmarket Solution: Software’ at Midsize Enterprise Summit 2 years in a row.
  3. Lowest Total Cost of Ownership - you won't have to hire us for future development, you can do it all in-house!

A few quotes from our customers on JD Edwards systems:

iQ4bis sits on top of our multiple data sources so we can look at sales, or eventually inventory, procurement, financial, and other information, no matter what the ERP source.” - Glenn Pinnel, Applications Director, Alpharma

“ERP is a great tool for transactional processing and linking operational areas like manufacturing, supply chain, and finance.  But it does a terrible job with reporting. iQ4bis’ unlocks the data for your users so they can move the business forward. - Glenn Pinnel, Applications Director, Alpharma
 
“The BI application we selected had to be cost-effective, integrate cleanly with JDE and easy to operate so that our management team could find the information they were looking for. iQ4bis was installed and validated in two weeks.” - Ron Myshka, Vice President Information Services, E.A.Sween
 
“iQ4bis lets me quickly analyze my data and make a decision about what and how I manufacture through the day.  For each hour that goes by that I can’t get data, that’s an hour that I can’t get my manufacturing group started on what they need to build.” - Marlys Clay, VP of Vendor Managed Inventory, First Look Studios

“I don’t believe we would have been as successful with our initiative to decrease E&O inventory if it weren’t for the visibility provided by iQ4bis.” - Fred Berndt, Manager of Sales Analysis and Financial Planning, Midwest
