Blitz Report™ is the solution Oracle should have provided for EBS users

Still using Oracle Discoverer? You are not alone…

EBS users need their Discoverer reports, even now, long after the product has been end dated by Oracle. Why? Because before Blitz Report, Discoverer was the only EBS reporting solution that allowed Business users to self-create reports by selecting the data they require, delivering the results in the Excel format they need. How does Blitz Report Compare?

  • Includes analytical reports to identify unused Discoverer reports

  • Automated Discoverer report migration

  • User layout templates including pivots, graphs and dashboards

  • Direct output to a perfectly formatted Excel workbook

  • Unlimited data export

  • BI Publisher, ECC, Reports Wand and Polaris Reporting Workbench import

“Blitz Report allowed us to completely phase out Oracle Discoverer with a much faster and easier to use reporting tool.”

Armin Maier, RBI, HR Data Management & Analysis

Create customized dashboards and report layouts with Excel templates

The Excel template upload functionality in Blitz Report allows users to create their own layouts by uploading an Excel template with additional sheets and charts, automatically refreshed when the report runs again. This allows to create custom dashboards and more advanced visualizations of report data.

  • Create additional sheets with graphs, pie charts, and other Excel functionality

  • Add pivot tables to summarize and analyze report data
  • Create interactive dashboards with dynamic filtering and sorting options
  • Add conditional formatting and data validation to the report to highlight important information and ensure data accuracy
  • Include macroses in the template to automate data manipulation
  • Customize the report layout and design to match company branding

“I can’t believe how easy it is for users to customize reports without having to get a developer involved.”

Tired of searching for the “latest version”? Central repository & version control solve the problem

Developers are creative by nature, using different solutions to address business reporting needs – SQL developer, Toad, APEX, BI Publisher, Oracle Analytics Cloud, and other 3rd party tools. This often results in multiple versions of the same report, in different applications, or on different developers’ local laptops.  Blitz Report was designed to address this exact problem, providing a complete central solution for development, distribution, and execution of reports.

  • SQL scripts are created inside the report setup screen, and stored in the central repository
  • Reports developed outside Blitz Report can be copied and pasted into the report setup screen, to be included in the central repository
  • Every SQL change is automatically captured and logged with the date, author, and a copy of the “before” SQL
  • Blitz Report includes a sophisticated parameter matrix to allow maximum flexibility to reduce report duplication and maintenance

“We are eight months into our Blitz Report journey and have come to rely on the tool for all our ad hoc requests.”

What does “seamless integration” mean? Blitz Report users are 30 minutes from introduction to expert

Blitz Report was designed to work with Oracle EBS. “Seamless integration” means that the user experience is so familiar and similar to standard Oracle EBS, that acceptance and use of Blitz Report requires little or no additional training. In fact, most users are up and running in less than 30 minutes. It also means that Blitz Report blends into your technical environment – there is nothing new for your DBA team to learn or maintain.

  • Based on Oracle Forms – easy for business users to learn as it looks and behaves like EBS
  • Direct access to the EBS database
  • Leverages EBS Security – and even extends it

  • Able to execute reports directly from inside any Oracle standard form

  • Uses the Concurrent request manager for scheduling data extracts/interfaces
  • Uses standard Oracle delivery options for email, FTP distribution

  • Uses EBS output files maintenance – no additional tasks for the tech team

“We were able to run the GL Account Analysis on multiple ledgers and non-consecutive periods without any issues, just as predicted … you have a group of very happy customers here.”

Kirsten Koch, Sr. Manager Financial Applications, Quantcast
