“Intelligence breaks the boundaries, empowering organizations to reinvent, explore further, and transform their core IT infrastructure.”
Every business today is driven by the goal to enhance performance, and a big part of that comes down to how well they understand the flow and function of their data. That’s why more and more organizations are choosing analytics as a strategic asset. As analytics drive business decisions, the traditional methods of carrying long pages can never match the evolving technological needs that lead to business excellence. Analytics that shape fast, accurate, and strategic directives across the enterprise are crucial in the world today that completely leverage AI powerfulness + actionable intelligence.
On the other hand, the role of cloud-native applications is to simplify and automate business processes on a unified dashboard that accelerates decision-making. Oracle Cloud Applications have out-of-the-box capabilities that can unleash underlying analytical capabilities thus enabling the power of data to achieve business outcomes and actionable intelligence whenever need arises.
Different roles across an organization rely on different kinds of information. A CFO, for example, may want a high-level view of global business metrics like total revenue, overall profitability, and current cash reserves. On the other hand, an Accounts Receivable Manager might focus on the largest outstanding accounts, delayed payments, and daily sales. In every corner of the enterprise, decision-making relies on relevant, timely, and context-specific data.
Oracle Cloud Applications are equipped with prebuilt, embedded analytics designed to reduce cost, increase efficiency, and fuel performance. These embedded features operate in real time, providing up-to-the-minute data so your decisions are always based on the latest insights.
Embedded Analytics Role Within Oracle Cloud Applications
- Key Performance Indicators: KPIs are foundational to business performance. Oracle provides a range of prebuilt KPIs, while also allowing customers to define their own. These indicators are tailored by user roles and presented in a dashboard-style layout, offering a clear, high-level overview of critical business metrics. The “glance, scan, and commit” approach enables users to quickly absorb what matters most. KPIs can also be shared across teams to encourage alignment and avoid complexity.
- Analytics and Reports: Oracle Cloud Applications offer robust reporting capabilities that deliver meaningful, actionable insights for business functions. Customers can use prebuilt reports or easily create custom ones using wizard-driven tools. With embedded reporting, both simple and complex reports are supported; complete with alerts, agents, and dashboards embedded directly within application pages. Deep linking provides direct access to transactions, and subject-area views simplify the report creation process. Customers can also perform ad hoc queries to build custom data models based on existing database tables.
- External-Facing Reports: Oracle makes it simple to create business-critical documents like invoices, checks, purchase orders, and financial statements. One standout feature is the separation of layout and data extraction, allowing users to design templates using familiar tools like Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat. Reports can then be generated in multiple formats (PDF, Excel, HTML, etc.) and languages, minimizing maintenance needs and empowering users to make layout changes without depending on IT.
Extending Embedded Application Reporting with Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence
While the built-in analytics are powerful, some organizations prefer to extend their capabilities further, especially if they want a unified reporting tool for Oracle applications alongside external data sources like spreadsheets, data lakes, warehouses, or third-party cloud platforms.
