Why MeasureIT
The Problem Most Oracle ERP Cloud Customers Face
Oracle ERP is great at running the core processes that keep your business running — but most teams hit the same roadblocks when it comes to reporting and analytics. Getting answers takes too long, costs too much, and often stops short of the detail you actually need.
The Reporting Options — and Their Limits
Oracle ERP customers typically choose from three reporting options. Each has its place, but none fully solve the problem:
Oracle Transactional Business Intelligence (OTBI)
Oracle’s built-in ad-hoc reporting solution. It’s good for quick, basic queries, but:
You can’t customize the data model.
It lacks advanced analytics, visualizations, and AI capabilities (those live in FDI).
Results are limited to transactional detail — no big-picture metrics or drillable dashboards.
Oracle Fusion
Data Intelligence (FDI)
Oracle’s premium, metric-based analytics solution. It includes prebuilt KPIs and polished dashboards that look great in demos, but:
It’s expensive and requires a separate subscription.
It’s tightly governed and difficult to customize or extend.
You can’t drill to the underlying transactions to validate or trace numbers.
Third-Party BI Tools
External reporting platforms outside Oracle’s ecosystem. They can be powerful, but:
They add another system to manage.
They duplicate and sync data outside Oracle.
They increase integration points and vendor dependency, adding complexity for IT.
Oracle built OTBI and FDI with upgrades in mind, not flexibility. That keeps customer systems consistent for Oracle — but leaves you with reporting that’s locked down, inflexible, and difficult to use.
How MeasureIT Bridges the Gap
MeasureIT combines the best of OTBI (transaction-level details) and FDI (prebuilt data models, KPIs, analytics) — without the restrictions.
Everything runs 100% inside Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) using Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) and Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW). Your data never leaves Oracle — it stays secure, consistent, and always in sync with ERP.
With MeasureIT, you can:
Customize dashboards, KPIs, and data models to reflect how your business operates.
Drill down from a top-level KPI all the way to the transaction details (invoice, purchase order, journal, etc.
Extend the reporting solution with your own tables, fields, and even non-Oracle data sources.
The result is reporting that finally works the way your business does — giving you full visibility and control of your data.
Why MeasureIT…
-
MeasureIT is live and usable in weeks, not months. You start with prebuilt content right away and add more reporting as we configure it for your business’s exact needs.
-
MeasureIT costs at least 50% less than Fusion Analytics. You still keep/use your Oracle licenses, but avoid the high cost of FDI.
-
MeasureIT runs natively on OAC, ADW, and OCI — the best-in-class Oracle tools — keeping your data secure, reliable, and fully in sync without third-party platforms.
-
MeasureIT starts with prebuilt content made for how businesses actually run. You can add tables, fields, KPIs, dashboards, and even non-Oracle data so reporting reflects your exact business processes.
-
MeasureIT lets you drill from KPIs to the exact invoice, PO, or journal entry. Every number is traceable and easy to validate or audit.
-
MeasureIT is a complete reporting solution — think OTBI + Fusion Analytics in one usable package, without limitations or stitching other platforms/tools together.
-
MeasureIT runs on Oracle Cloud, so it can scale from midsize organizations to global enterprises. It handles growing data, users, and reporting needs without slowing performance.
-
MeasureIT keeps your data in ADW, so you can extend it for machine learning, predictive analytics, and/or other AI initiatives whenever you’re ready.
The Result
Oracle ERP gives you data. MeasureIT gives it meaning.
We unlock your ERP data so you can:
Own it. (No third-party dependence.)
Trust it. (Every number ties back to the source.)
Actually use it. (Run your business with clarity and confidence.)
No half-finished solutions. No third-party tools. Just reporting that finally works the way your business does.
What This Means for You
A CFO who can close the books faster and drill into variances in seconds.
A procurement team that can finally measure supplier performance without juggling spreadsheets.
A supply chain leader who sees order cycle times, inventory health, and fulfillment issues in one dashboard.
Executives who can trust that every report matches the ERP — no more “which spreadsheet is right?”
FAQs
-
MeasureIT runs completely on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure(OCI). Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC), Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW) and Object Storage are typically needed. These are core OCI component that you likely already license — or plan to as part of your Oracle Cloud ERP environment — and you pay Oracle directly for those. Our reporting solution is an additional cost licensed on a per user basis directly from MeasureIT.
-
Yes. Because MeasureIT runs on ADW, you can easily bring in other data sources — CRM, logistics, quality systems, spreadsheets — without building a separate data warehouse. Your ADW effectively becomes a governed data lake, letting you create a single source of truth across Oracle and non-Oracle data, while keeping everything secure and governed.
-
MeasureIT and FDI both deliver governed analytics, prebuilt metrics, and strong visualization tools. The difference is that MeasureIT keeps everything fully customizable and drillable to the transaction level, without requiring extra subscriptions beyond OAC and ADW. FDI is built for standardized KPI reporting but is hard to extend or adapt once implemented. Many customers choose MeasureIT when they need flexibility, transparency, and control over their data model.
-
Everything stays inside your Oracle Cloud environment. This can integrate with your single sign-on (SSO) and can enforce the same security rules you use in ERP, including role-based and row-level security. All data is continually sync’d with your live ERP data.
