Available at OAUG Connection Point® – EPM/BI/R12.1 Upgrade conference in Atlanta, this educational document details GL reporting changes within Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1
Raleigh, NC – November 8, 2011 – A new white paper by Excel4apps, a Gold-level member of Oracle® Partner Network (OPN) and provider of Excel-based reporting and budget-loading software, will be available to attendees of OAUG Connection Point® – EPM/BI/R12.1 Upgrade in Atlanta, November 15-16, 2011. The six-page educational document, titled "Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 Upgrade – Impact on GL Reporting," examines the impact of the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 on General Ledger (GL) reporting.
"This white paper is intended to help financial users prepare for their upgrade to the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1," said Michele Buson, CEO for Excel4apps. "In addition to reporting specifics related to the upgrade, the paper investigates reporting alternatives for the new environment."
The white paper details reporting changes with the introduction of the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1 while exploring various options to enhance reporting capabilities, including Oracle Validated Integration between Excel4apps GL Wand and the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1. The GL Wand software solution uses the familiar Microsoft Excel® interface to pull live data for real-time reporting and drill down, making it easy to create and modify GL reports from the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1. Installing quickly and requiring minimal training and IT support, GL Wand gives financial users the ability to effectively report from the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.
Attendees at OAUG Connection Point – EPM/BI/R12.1 Upgrade in Atlanta can attend a presentation of this white paper topic and live demonstration of the GL Wand solution during "What You Need to Know: The Impact of R12 on Your GL Reporting" on Tuesday, November 15, at 8:30am in the Walnut Meeting room, Level 3, North Tower, of the Omni CNN Center.

Nucleus Research Finds GL Wand Fills Reporting Gaps Left by Enterprise Systems and Traditional BI Software
RALEIGH, NC (July 21, 2011) – In order to provide value, financial data from enterprise systems like SAP and Oracle must be in the right hands at the right time, yet reporting information from these applications remains a challenge for many organizations in terms of time and resources. Even business intelligence (BI) tools fall short for companies that need to avoid the initial and ongoing costs of such applications.
In a recently published, independent research note, Nucleus Research found that gaps in reporting left by enterprise and BI systems can be filled by non-traditional BI tools such as GL Wand from Excel4apps, a provider of best-in-class Excel-based financial reporting software for use with SAP and Oracle. GL Wand pulls general ledger data directly into an easy-to-manipulate Excel ® spreadsheet, without the need for a data warehouse or information technology (IT) programming support.

Excel4apps and Z Option Announce Partnership to Offer Business Users Full Circle Access to SAP Financials
Business users gain direct links to SAP through familiar Excel interfaces for uploading and downloading data without programming help
RALEIGH, NC (March 23, 2011) – Excel4apps, a provider of best-in-class Excel based reporting software for use with SAP and Oracle, has today announced its partnership with Z Option, a leading developer of complementary software solutions for SAP. With easy spreadsheet uploads from Z Option's GLSU product and direct downloads of live SAP data for financial reports using GL Wand from Excel4apps, business users never leave the comfort of Excel to complete critical tasks.
"We are pleased to join forces with Z Option to provide business users real-time, full circle access to SAP, without lengthy waits for programming support that cut into valuable time needed for financial analysis," said Chris Meyer, Director Americas for Excel4apps. "GLSU's ability to quickly upload general ledger entries is a natural complement to GL Wand's fast downloads of SAP data for ad hoc and standard reports. Because users directly interface with SAP via Excel, productivity, as well as accuracy, is maximized with these products."
Both GL Wand and GLSU are easy to install and require no additional hardware. Likewise, the two products require little training, as most financial users and accountants have already mastered Excel. In addition to holding SAP Partner status, Excel4apps and Z Option share a similar corporate background, as well as a culture grounded in customer support.
"Excel4apps holds our own philosophy for establishing long-term relationships with customers, as well as our core belief in developing real solutions for real-world business challenges," said Jim Halepaska, Co-Founder of Z Option. "Like us, Excel4apps was founded by accounting and finance experts, so our common mission is to support these types of users by sharing our skills and providing flexible software that improves productivity in working with SAP."
For customers like iNova Pharmaceuticals, a provider of over-the-counter and prescription medicines to international markets, the combined power of GL Wand and GLSU results in an automated monthly accounting cycle. The company's finance group easily capitalizes on the familiar Excel access each tool provides to SAP.
"As an accountant, I simply calculate an adjusting journal based on actual values with GL Wand, then upload the adjustment amounts as journals using GLSU – without rekeying values or performing other error-prone and inefficient activities," said Peter Tysoe, Group Finance Manager for iNova Pharmaceuticals. "To complete the process, I simply click the refresh button to see the latest updated actuals. Any templates I may create can easily be used next month, or adapted for other areas to further speed up month-end cycles."
