Delivery options that work for you - Agile Delivery

Drill to Source

Understand what makes up your final figures:

Drill to any level, all the way to source if required, and be confident you’re working with accurate
information and producing the correct figures

Get information such as rule number to enable detailed logic tracking and investigation

Cube Views and Data Browsers

Navigate and inspect data in a hierarchical structured way:

Profitability by defined dimensions
Drill down to transactions and filter to the information you need in a user-friendly way
Export results to excel for sharing purposes
Build data browsers with easy to manage views of the figures you want to see

Data Dimensions, Mapping and Validations

Replicate your exact business structure, logic and organisational hierarchy:

Make modifications easily in a controlled environment
Unlimited mappings and hierarchies with many to one easily configured
Multiple data models for different reporting or business logic requirements
Validate, transform and tolerate your source data to ensure accuracy and catch inconsistencies
before they are submitted

Scenario Modelling and Plan Comparison

Rapid scenario modelling to create and manage complex data models and processes configured in the computation engine and dynamic input cubes:

What If planning (supporting workforce planning, sales assumptions and drivers)
Long-range strategic planning, scenario analysis, initiative planning where updates can be seen in
real-time
Support your Strategy Planning:

Long-range strategic planning, scenario analysis, initiative planning where updates can be seen in
real-time
Long-range debt and cash management, including data from multiple funding sources, prioritisation,
and the impact of funding structures on valuation and share price

Enable Plan Comparisons:

Produce multiple scenarios of your plan with easily maintained version control. You can compare
different versions of your plan or modelling reflecting changes to your business
Variance analysis of unlimited scenarios with any view of the data you require

Variance Analysis

ORYX enables detailed quantitative investigation to determine the difference between actual and planned/prior results:

Budget or Forecasted analysis (based on the timeframe you want, for example the prior year, or
prior month)

Dynamic Cube Input

Cross departmental data input, especially useful for more accurate and timely forecasting across the business:

See actuals from different departments for efficient forecasting
Formulaic cells for automatic calculation or reconciliation checks
Manage Late Adjustments (including period 13)
Non-financial data (Workforce Planning)

Accounting Treatments

Financial Instrument computation:

Loan interest calculation, FV revaluation, Hedging calculations, Treasury Management, etc…

IFRS Computations and reporting:

Adjustments for new standards or multiple data models for different reporting requirements

Equity Calculations:

Participating Interests, EPS and Minority Interests Calculations

Capex Planning:

Plan assets through the complete lifecycle, add additional asset types, depreciation schedules, salvage
values or useful life information required for capital asset planning
FA Register Reconciliation

Logic Tracing and Walkthroughs

Create process walkthroughs and logic tracing:

Rule links and process flows to enable thorough investigation, especially for audit purposes

Audit Logging

Changes tracked for audit purposes fully supported by user permissions:

User permissions for specific tasks, with access to confidential data separated by components
Ability to revert back to previous state with ease
Supports full audit trail with all changes to the system fully tracked including information such as user,
time and description

Convert at multiple different currency rates, and run what-if analysis around the impact of changing
rates

ORYX maintains adjustments for legislative regions (GAAP vs IFRS) and industries (Stat vs GAAP):

Version-specific calculations

Elimination of intercompany transactions, dividends, revenues and expenses:

Use prebuilt analysis cubes to reconcile and report results to separate entities

Forecasting

ORYX has powerful Predictive Planning Capability:

Provide the ability for predictive planning capabilities that can generate reliable statistical predictions
based on time series data over long periods of history
Provide the ability to perform simple and multi-variable linear regression and constraint optimisation
for predictive planning
