improve finance end-user reporting and analysis with minimal IT involvement. Many
of these, such as Excel4apps are linked to specific core financial applications/ERP
suites 1
Excel4apps empowers end users to create their own reports in Excel.
2. Consider applications from specialist vendors on a tactical basis, but you must view
these applications as part of a broader business analytics strategy. 1
Excel4apps solutions complement your BI strategy, are quick to install,

ownership.

Characteristics
1. Packaged Data Extraction Capability:
Applications include predefined connector to data sources like ERPs
Excel4apps has packaged connectors for both SAP and Oracle for real-time
access to data.

capabilities, due to their complex data models. These applications enable finance
users to create their own financial and management reports, and perform ad hoc
analysis without significant IT support. 1

Excel4apps leverages existing Excel competencies of users and wizards
make reports quick and easy to create.
