Use the Cloud to Up Your Operational Reporting Game
With economic volatility, geo-political unrest, and supply chain disruptions all stubbornly impacting global markets, traditional processes are giving way to new processes. Enter operational reporting, the change agent in our story.
In the past year alone, a staggering 66% of IT decision-makers have witnessed a surge in requests for operational reports. Recent findings highlight the increasing importance of operational reporting and the significant impact it has on organizations. Astonishingly, more than two-thirds (71%) of IT departments, accounting, finance, operations, and project management professionals spend an entire day every week dedicated to preparing operational reports. This is a huge investment of time and resources.
The demands on companies are increasing, and as the landscape continues to evolve, they must find better ways to meet growing reporting requirements while minimizing the resource drain.
How does your company avoid such time-consuming processes? Follow along as we discuss moving your data to the cloud to save time, improve results, and make life easier for your operational reporting team.
Challenges with Existing Operational Reporting Tools
Oracle Cloud users love having easy access to real-time data when creating operational reports, but there are some downsides to the native ERP reporting tools.
- Reporting is slow. Building custom reports takes time. Out-of-the-box reporting rarely covers specific organizational needs when it comes to operational reporting. The burden of creating and modifying these reports falls on IT, resulting in long lead times for custom-built reports and a lack of operational visibility for the organization.
- Reporting is complex. Creating custom operational reports with Oracle Cloud applications requires deep technical knowledge and skill. Organizations must understand how to extract complex data on a regular cadence and present the reporting to end users to manipulate through an interactive BI tool.
- Reporting is inflexible. Out-of-the-box reporting is inflexible. It’s hard to quickly grasp the meaning of operational data when it’s presented in a tabular form that has no real interactivity or drill-down capability to be able to analyze and investigate issues and variances. Users struggle to tailor reports to fulfill the needs of their audience, and they require deep technical expertise to be able to self-serve.
