Comprehensive Reporting and Analysis
The power behind Financial Analyzer is the Express? multidimensional data model, which stores data in the way that managers think about their business.
Financial Analyzer leverages the Express Web Agent to provide instant, secure access to multidimensional data over corporate intranets and the World Wide Web. Key information may be viewed across any combination of dimensions--line items, time periods, products, geographical regions, and cost centers. Multidimensional data navigation tools allow users to isolate the source of a variance quickly. These tools make it easy to query the financial performance of a profit center by product, channel, and time period. Specialized tools, like Financial Analyzer's Selector, offer querying and exception-based analyses. With multidimensional analysis, users can control and analyze financial data, as well as design and save personal reports and graphs, without having to involve IS staff.

Perform data queries through the application interface or over corporate intranets using the powerful Selector tool.

Extensive Financial Modeling
Financial Analyzer supports a wide variety of financial management tasks with its modeling tools. Results of what-if analyses display immediately. An extensive library of built-in functions helps users create forecasts and calculate performance ratios. Users can incorporate general ledger and non-general ledger data into analyses to derive, and then share, new financial data. Models are characterized by controlled independence, which allows users to establish different detailed equations for particular organizations and scenarios, while consistent calculations are kept for universal or consolidated items.

Seamless Spreadsheet Links
Financial Analyzer leverages users' knowledge of spreadsheet applications. The system links directly with industry-standard spreadsheets so that users can submit, view and report Financial Analyzer data from those spreadsheets. This link also provides spreadsheets with access to the powerful data query tools of the Selector.

Access the centralized data and application power of Financial Analyzer through desktop tools, like Microsoft Excel.

Flexible Data Loading
With its extensive loading capabilities, Financial Analyzer can easily accept and validate data from general ledgers, spreadsheets, relational databases, and other
operational systems.

Decision-making with ERP Integration
Financial Analyzer seamlessly integrates with Oracle General Ledger. This integration eliminates the need for duplicate data entry and structural maintenance, and thereby provides a more cost-effective financial management solution. General Ledger information easily maps to Financial Analyzer where it is reported, analyzed, combined with other non-general ledger data, and used as the basis for budgets, forecasts, and plans. General Ledger account balances are reflected in Financial Analyzer. With a permanent link between the two applications, modifications to hierarchies and other structures performed in the General Ledger flow through to Financial Analyzer without additional maintenance. Data and structures can be automatically refreshed on a regular basis so that data control and integrity are preserved. Budgets created in Financial Analyzer can be written back to Oracle General Ledger and stored for comparative general ledger reporting. Analysis is made clearer with drill-through to the Oracle General Ledger, allowing Financial Analyzer users to see detail behind analysis.

Controlled Data Access
Ensuring consistent and reliable financial information is key to Financial Analyzer. The product maintains the integrity of financial data in a central source and ensures that users are able to access the data they need, both locally and at remote sites via the client or a Web browser.

Access controls allow the administrator to determine, by user, which financial data can be viewed and edited. Users see and manage only the information that is pertinent to their responsibilities and interests. Senior executives might receive summarized data tailored to their needs, while departmental managers might receive both detail and summary data.

Display an income statement and drill into the details of report data without having to know the data's location.

Adaptable Business Model
Businesses do not have to change their perspectives and processes to conform to Financial Analyzer; the product can reflect any existing business. Financial Analyzer adapts to any organization's business structures, such as cost centers, products, services, and retail outlets. Additionally, the product's models and data can be modified quickly to reflect new or potential business scenarios as well as organizational changes. Scalable to meet the data capacity requirements of your growing business, Financial Analyzer reduces the amount of time required for data management, affording users more time to focus on qualitative analysis.

Flexible Network Architecture
Today's financial management systems are most effective when they can be utilized by more than just the members of the Finance department. Organizations need to provide financial information to, and collect data from, a variety of users across networks and around the globe. Internet-enabled, Financial Analyzer delivers financial data and robust data analysis and collection tools throughout the organization. The variety of clients provided, accessible from users' desktops, can be Financial Analyzer specific, spreadsheet-based, or Web-based, offering flexibility to suit any organization's needs. The various system configuration options allows administrators to tailor the Financial Analyzer's unique, distributed architecture to the needs and location of financial managers. Flexible access and scalable architecture provide a networked application with the processing power, speed, and control required to handle the data volumes and complexity of current and future financial management challenges.
