Usability
It is very useful especially for analyst
Pros
- Retrieve data for financial reports (template or manual set report in excel)
- To drill down into journal entries for detail analysis
- To distinguish the input of different type of entries and by different users
Cons
- It is possible but difficult to retrieve data or set criteria from different module into a single report or retrieve. If it is more user friendly instead of having to create a complex formula to retrieve the data, this function will be utilized more often.
- It will be nice to have visual (graphs, etc.) report template available
- It is helpful if we can retrieve data for a range of date, instead of just YTD, PTD etc. and multi-year data all at once for comparison too.
Return on Investment
- It improved analysts' efficiency in data review
- It helps in monthly reports (timely)
- It improve the feasibility of some of the financial review.

Usability
Easy to Install, Easy to Use, and Enterprise Ready
Pros
- Easy to install and maintain. After the initial installation, there is little involvement by the technical administrators.
- Cloning production to a test environment does not require any additional setups unlike Oracle EBS which does.
- Loading data and reporting on this data is handled via EXCEL spreadsheets which is the "language" of our financial users.
Cons
- Really cannot think of anything I would have them do differently. It does not require any intervention by the data base or system administrators after initial installation which is quite easy and bug free.
Other Software Used
