Real-time Access to Information

Noetix Generator enables direct access to the data in the transaction system providing users with the most complete and up-todate information. Access to real-time transaction data through NoetixViews complements Oracles data warehouse-based analytics. While data warehouses are optimized for querying summarized, historical information, they also impose restrictions on the level of detail and timeliness of data they contain. It is simply not economically feasible, nor desirable, to try to address all reporting needs through a data warehouse.

Automatically Tailored For Your Business

NoetixViews automatically reflects customers individual application configuration options such as key and descriptive flexfields, charts of accounts, operating unit and organization setups, security profiles, and more. Therefore, Noetix Generator automatically creates a unique Enterprise Information Model for every Oracle EBS instanceno two customers models are exactly the same. While some BI vendors have tried to provide universal BI applications that work with Oracle, SAP, and other applications, they are not optimized for any particular application and therefore require extensive customizations to address application-specific concepts. Noetixs patented technology virtually eliminates the need for additional customizations by automatically detecting and integrating specific application configuration options.

Shields Reports From Application Upgrades

Through application upgrades and patches, Oracle often introduces significant changes to Oracle EBS base tables. NoetixViews shields reports and queries from these changes by remapping the views to the new base tables. Noetix Generator automatically keeps the Enterprise Information Model synchronized with NoetixViews, preserving the linkage between users reports and the views. By shielding reports from database changes, Noetix saves customers a portion of their application upgrade budgets which would ordinarily be spent rewriting reports.
