Oracle practice
Oracle reporting and analytics
Oracle Fusion has several reporting tools, and each fits a different need. We help you choose the right tool for each report and build them so they stay fast and secure.
What organizations bring us
Reports are where users judge a new system. If month-end packs, invoices and statutory outputs do not arrive in the format they expect, adoption suffers regardless of how well processes work. Teams then build everything in the first tool they find, usually running heavy queries against the transactional system.
We separate reporting by purpose. Quick operational questions go in OTBI. Formatted documents, such as invoices, checks and statutory forms, use BI Publisher. Historical analysis across systems moves to a warehouse fed by BICC or Fusion Data Intelligence.
What the platform covers
-
OTBI
Subject areas, analyses, dashboards and prompts for operational reporting, secured by Fusion roles.

Questions people ask
When should we use a warehouse?
When reports need history across systems, heavy aggregation or data from outside Fusion. Operational questions about current data can stay in OTBI.
Do OTBI reports respect Fusion security?
Yes, OTBI applies Fusion data security. Other tools need security defined separately, so we design it as part of the architecture.
