Karen L. Brown, senior principal product manager of JD Edwards, illuminates the benefits of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne One View Financial Statements in this webinar. She first presents the problem businesses need to solve and then shows how One View proves a beneficial enterprise management system for today’s finance professionals. It’s important to note that OneView is just one of the many tools provided by the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.2 upgrades.

The problem

Brown explains an all-too-common business problem. Current financial management systems act too similarly to complex developer tools — hardly the top-notch financial resources businesses need to operate efficiently.

Enter One View

JD Edwards EnterpriseOne presents an easy-to-use interface engineered for financial users to create statements. One View can create quality statements with data visualization in real time, and statements can be reproduced in Word or Excel.

Update with ease

Because this update is native to the JDE EnterpriseOne suite, users won’t need a 3rd party system or advanced IT support. And you can make quick adjustments to the columns, the layouts and the versions because this update was specifically designed with the flexibility to create complex, attractive statements.

The application’s self-service model ensures ease of use because, for JDE users, Brown said the navigation should look familiar and consistent with other applications.

Additional features include:

• No learning curve – Traditional column/row format that analysts are accustomed to
• Image additions – Ability to add charts and graphs with ease
• Real-time access – Create your statements and see data in minutes, not hours or days
• Data visualization – See your data in action with imagery that adds up

Real programs for real people

The overarching benefit of OneView? To Brown, it’s clearly the user experience that ultimately enhances productivity — the ideal feature for any work software. Pre-built content enables easier adoption, and the seamless JDE EnterpriseOne interface collaborates with Oracle BI (Business Intelligence) Publisher and One View Reporting. Best of all, the process of statement creation takes minutes, not hours … with changes occurring right before the user’s eyes.

So far, every real-customer case study reports successful client testing on each key feature, including statements of cash flows, statements of operations, income statements, income variance analyses and more. Furthermore, users can transpose data across programs, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF. These JDE tools can also apply filters and display updated numbers instantly.

This application proves that the efficiency of financial reporting is changing. According to Brown, “Instead of going home and coming back in the morning to find your report, you can go grab some lunch and come back to find the report.”
