Unlocking Value with Oracle Essbase 21c Marketplace
Dodeca Cloud is here, and it changes how finance teams think about Excel.
For as long as EPM has existed, finance teams have been fighting the same battle. The data lives in Essbase, or Planning, or some combination of systems that took years to build. The analysis happens in Excel. And the gap between those two worlds is where accuracy goes to die, in manual downloads, broken links, version confusion, and late nights spent reconciling numbers that should have reconciled themselves.
We built Dodeca Cloud to close that gap for good.
Delivered in partnership with Dodeca Software, Dodeca Cloud is a fully managed reporting and analytics platform hosted on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. It connects directly to your ERP, EPM, and data systems and delivers live, governed data inside the Excel interface your team already uses every day. No new tools to learn. No infrastructure to manage. No more emailing spreadsheets back and forth hoping nobody overwrote the wrong cell.
The question we hear most often is: why now? The honest answer is that the technology has finally caught up to what finance teams actually need. Cloud infrastructure is mature enough to make this kind of deployment fast, reliable, and cost-effective. Dodeca 8.7 is the most capable version Dodeca has ever shipped. And the appetite for doing things differently has never been higher , finance leaders are done watching their teams spend 80 percent of their time gathering data and 20 percent actually analyzing it.
Two offerings, one promise
We built Dodeca Cloud in two configurations because finance teams come to us from two very different starting points.
What it actually solves
The problems Dodeca Cloud addresses are not abstract. They are the specific, recurring frustrations that finance teams bring up every time we talk to them.
Reporting cycles that take weeks because someone has to manually pull data, paste it into a template, and send it around for review. Dodeca's governed automation collapses that cycle and eliminates the manual consolidation step entirely.
Version chaos. When ten people are working in ten copies of the same spreadsheet, errors are not a possibility, they are a certainty. Dodeca centralizes templates, enforces role-based access, and brings controlled workflows to a process that previously had none.
The spreadsheet consolidation problem. If you have ever had to manually combine dozens or hundreds of departmental submissions into a single view, you already know how painful that is. Dodeca consolidates thousands of spreadsheets in seconds.
Data source fragmentation. Finance teams rarely pull from a single system. Dodeca integrates with ERP, EPM, SQL databases, and other data sources, so your team works from one governed environment rather than stitching together exports from six different places.
The part that matters most
The goal of Dodeca Cloud is not to replace Excel. Finance teams are not going to stop using Excel, and they should not have to. The goal is to make Excel behave the way it was always supposed to, connected to real data, governed at the enterprise level, and producing numbers that leadership can actually trust.
If your finance team is spending more time managing spreadsheets than managing the business, that is the problem worth solving. Dodeca Cloud is how we solve it.
