Report, Analyze, Upload: AI Agents in Excel Taking Action in Oracle E-Business Suite

Oracle E-Business Suite users spend much of their day moving data in and out of the system, extracting balances, rebuilding financial statements, analyzing information in Excel, and re-entering transactions. This session demonstrates how Blitz Report brings reporting, financial statement generation, analysis, and data upload together in a single Excel-based interface. Through live demonstrations, we will show how users can extract EBS data directly into Excel, build and analyze financial statements with Blitz FSG, and upload data back into EBS without switching between multiple tools or interfaces. The session will also explore the next step: AI Agents in Oracle E-Business Suite. We will demonstrate how AI-powered capabilities can help users create and run reports, analyze EBS data, and accelerate data-upload processes through natural-language interaction.  Using the Blitz Report Add-In for Excel, users have conversational, AI-powered Oracle EBS reporting directly into Excel, with no additional server components to deploy, and every action is enforced by the user's existing EBS responsibilities, report assignments, and data-access rules.

Learning Objectives: 

  1. Gain insights for achieving time savings with your E-Business Suite data processes.
  2. Understand how AI Agents can enhance Oracle EBS workflows.

Staying In Control of Oracle EBS: The Three Questions Every Controls Team has to Answer

If you’re responsible for controls in Oracle E-Business Suite, most of the job comes down to answering three questions, both to yourself and to your auditors. These are: who can do what? What did they actually do? Do they still need it? Each one is easy to ask, but in a real EBS environment, each one is surprisingly hard to answer by hand. In this session, we look at how many companies, due to the enormous scale of the task, only look at a sample to gauge how effective their controls might be. Here we look at the options, specifically automation, that enable analysis of all controls, giving an exact picture of how your controls are performing.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Understanding the three key elements that make up effective control in EBS.
  2. The current methods employed to deliver results against current controls.
