9 replies
The Absence Visualization solution, developed through the Blitz Report Champion program , showcases how the tool can address unique customer problems. It leveraged Blitz Report’s ability to extract complex HR data via SQL and deliver it into a format (Excel) that facilitates easy visualization and analysis, transforming raw absence data into understandable metrics.
What is the key advantage of using Blitz Report for visualization over standard Oracle reporting for HR metrics?
The primary advantage is the combination of speed and flexibility. Traditional methods often require complex BI tools or manual data manipulation. Blitz Report extracts the exact dataset needed using optimized SQL , and outputs it immediately as a native Excel file. This Excel output can then be directly utilized for visualization, even integration with tools like Excel Bing Maps if geographic data is relevant.
Does this require a developer to manually create the visualization logic inside the report, or is the visualization part handled in Excel afterwards?
The report itself extracts the data set required for visualization, often including calculated metrics. The visualization (e.g., Pivot Tables or Charts) is typically performed seamlessly in Excel afterwards, leveraging the clean, formatted data produced by Blitz Report.
I’m interested in the Champion program—does it focus solely on technical SQL solutions, or also on creative functional reports?
The program encourages Oracle EBS professionals with an interesting, creative solution for EBS reporting to enroll. It focuses on both technical excellence and creative problem-solving across functional areas, such as VAT reporting, Payroll Balance Listing, Preventative Maintenance Scheduling, or WIP Production Job Details.
We need a quick win to prove the value internally. How can we test this visualization capability?
You can download Blitz Report, which is free to use for up to 30 reports. This provides an immediate opportunity to create and test custom reports for HR or any other functional area requiring unique visualization solutions.
