Noetix, a software vendor selling products to generate business intelligence content from enterprise applications, has introduced a new version of its flagship product, NoetixViews, with features including support for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.

 

"Many organizations will be making the move to Release 12 in the coming months," said director of Product Management, Paul Winterstein.

 

The company is now shipping the following NoetixViews version 5.8 modules with support for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12: Oracle Assets, Oracle Benefits, Oracle Human Resources, Oracle General Ledger, Oracle Payables, Oracle Payroll, and Oracle Receivables.

 

NoetixViews version 5.8 has been validated to work with Release 12, and "will provide upgrade protection for the vast majority of existing customer reports and queries that use these views in an Oracle 11i environment," Noetix officials say.

 

Also introduced in version 5.8 is NoetixViews Global Extension for Oracle Human Resources. These global HR views enable both Oracle 11i and Release 12 users with multiple business groups, to access data from one, multiple, and all business groups in a single query.

 

A beta version of NoetixViews for Oracle Discrete Manufacturing, Order Management, Purchasing, Advanced Supply Chain Planning, Projects, and Grants with support for Release 12 will be available in Q2, 2008.

 

Last November, open source business intelligence firm JasperSoft announced a new Business Intelligence offering, jointly developed with Noetix, for Oracle ERP users.

 

According to industry observer Madan Sheina the Jasper4Oracle E-Business Suite software blends JasperSoft's core BI Suite software with a set of Noetix reporting objects called NoetixViews designed to generate metadata about ERP data sources.

 

The software creates query subjects and items of Oracle E-Business Suite data and predefines their relationships to identify joins between dashboard-driven NoetixViews. The views are then used by JasperSoft's BI for end-user analysis and reporting.

 

"These simplified views transform data complexity into easily recognizable business views of data, allowing non-technical business users with intuitive and affordable Web-based, ad hoc BI for simplified self-service reporting," said Jose Morales, vice president of business development for San Francisco-based JasperSoft.

 

This is Noetix's third integration with a BI vendor; and it's second this year. In March it developed a dashboard "Generator" for Cognos BI that populates the Cognos Framework Manager model with NoetixViews that also map directly to Oracle's E-Business Suite. In 2006 it also struck a deal to integrate views inside Business Objects' Xcelsius software.
