City of Detroit Reaches Financial Reporting Milestone with Excel-based Tool for Oracle Business Users

8 March 2011

Easy access to complex Oracle financial data via Excel expedites annual report

RALEIGH, NC (March 8, 2011) – For the first time in more than a decade, the City of Detroit in 2010 submitted its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) ahead of schedule, assisted by GL Wand, an Excel-based reporting tool from Excel4apps. Installed in 2009, GL Wand provides finance users a direct link via Excel to financial data in the City’s complex Oracle ERP system, a capability that has quickly decreased the time needed to prepare the CAFR.

“When I arrived at the City’s Finance Department in 2008, it seemed that we were two centuries behind in the technology needed to produce the City’s CAFR,” said Norman L. White, Chief Financial Officer, City of Detroit. “We would manually run the Oracle reports and then transfer the data to Excel spreadsheets to compile the CAFR -- a long and arduous process.”

With GL Wand, Finance can quickly produce financial statements from Oracle data. Users pull the data and transmit it directly to the City’s CAFR template. In addition to completing the 2008 and 2009 CAFRs within one fiscal year, the City submitted the fiscal year 2009-2010 CAFR two weeks ahead of deadline. According to White, GL Wand also increased the integrity of the City’s CAFR and enabled users to easily document source data.

“The ability to drill down directly from the CAFR to the supporting transaction detail has been a great analytical tool,” White described. “Thanks to GL Wand, it now seems like our technology for producing the CAFR and other financial reports is ahead of our peers.”

GL Wand Simplifies Project Accounting at HBO

6 August 2009

With just a year of experience since their implementation of Oracle R12 in August 2008 and the purchase of GL Wand, HBO accounting professionals are singing the praises of using GL Wand for their project accounting. More than 50 members of the Pittsburgh OAUG were treated to a presentation by Michael Hinck from HBO’s New York headquarters during the group’s quarterly meeting in June.

Although initially brought in for GL reporting, the ease of using GL Wand quickly had ideas flying at HBO about using the tool in the Project Accounting area. Projects at a company like HBO are of gargantuan size. They include all of their original programming, such as wildly successful series like Sex in the City, the Sopranos, and Entourage, as well as dozens of projects that are in development every season. Projects are tracked from inception through production, and once produced and airing, the projects success may mean many are destined for syndication to other networks, both domestic and overseas. Projects also have video components and merchandise, and tracking revenue per project, on a show that lasts many seasons, can be a complex and difficult thing. Or at least it was before GL Wand. Since each show includes its own independent expenses, executives require P&L statements for each program. On traditional networks, revenues come from advertising, but on a network like HBO, it comes from distribution, flowing through a variety of revenue streams.

“We had purchased GL wand for our GL reporting. We loved the tool, but our GL reporting was really simple, so we decided to try to use it with our Project Accounting. By using SLA in R12, we were able to change our core data and point it in different directions, so we send it to GL Wand. Now we can track our revenue not only within each project, but across category lines. Our executives often want to know how a certain genre is performing, such as all one hour dramas or all half hour comedies,” Hinck says.

To assist in adapting GL Wand for Project Accounting, the team at Excel4apps created a way for users to query DFF attributes. This allowed for reports to be created that compared various projects to each other and combined revenues and other information. “The fact that the team at Excel4apps would work with us to customize the product really blew us away,” Hinck says. “It’s customer service that is out of this world.”

Today if an executive at HBO asks for how much sales and marketing expenses have occurred with one hour dramas that are in development, the number can be found with a few simple clicks. Users at HBO particularly appreciate the product’s reporting tools that allow you to drill down or expand upon information and send reports that correspond to user’s security clearances. This allows them to slice and dice data within programs, genre, or function.

“With GL Wand, it’s simple to create different reports for non-finance users and end-users who need the detail. You create your queries and get information, and then you can drill down to the vendor detail, but users will only see what they have the security clearance to see,” says Hinck. “The best thing is you build your reports in Excel using GL Wand and you save them. Then every month you just have to change the date field and use the Get Balance formula to update the report. You refresh the screen, and you have an updated report. The report manager creates the emails that send the customized reports to all your users. It couldn’t be easier,” Hinck says.

Financial Power “Even Executives Can Use”

18 September 2008

In this age of technology, it’s not uncommon for senior executives to do things for themselves. When your organization is running lean and mean and striving for productivity to help capitalize on exciting opportunities, the tools you use make a difference. For Integro Insurance Brokers, their acquisition of technology is always based on an analysis of functions, ease of use, and wherever possible, self-sufficiency. Scott Ashen, who is responsible for Integro’s Oracle and HRIS systems spends half his day in IT and the other half in accounting. With resources spread thin, he knew his users needed simple solutions that would allow them to create ad hoc reports and complex reconciliations without involving IT. With GL Wand, he got exactly what he needed.

“Our consulting partner was helping us evaluate reporting options. We evaluated GL Wand and another product, and GL Wand was a slam dunk. Our people think in Excel. It’s like their right arm, so they are working in a media they are extremely comfortable with,” Ashen says.

Today Integro uses GL Wand not only for dozens of reconciliations and ad hoc reports, but also for most of their month end reporting. The presentation quality reports appeal to Integro professionals, and according to Ashen, the flexibility and power of the tool is literally cutting the time it takes to do complex reconciliations in half.

“We are saving so much time organization-wide while giving people the ability to be self sufficient. Our executives can do reports themselves, and they like that a lot,” Ashen says. For more about Integro, read our press release and case study coming soon.
