WHY DATA mart for Excel

MANY ENTERPRISES HAVE DiscourageD USER DEVELOPED APPS because of security and FINANCIAL CONTROL  concerns WITH END-USER Excel VBA.

But as a true enterprise reporting platform, D4E manages apps built for integration with MS Office without UDAs & user VBA. By inter-operating with MS Office applications, the enterprise-controlled apps become secure tools or data robots that access databases via ODBC (Oracle, DB2, MS SQL). With D4E, you can build self-service data discovery tools; or full enterprise projects with Ribbon menus & batch processing; or robotic solutions with simplified extract tools.

MS Excel IS an end-user computing TOOL that supportS FINANCE FOR: 

-   Data Storage,

-   CALCULATIVE Processes,

-   Data Visualization,

-   High-Fidelity Reporting, etc.

However, continuous use of supporting tools in Finance is not SOX/ICOFR-compliant and ultimately results in "Excel hell".  D4E provides a systems solution that eliminates supporting tools by:-
- moving all calculative processes and ETL to the enterprise environment via an external apps store,

- moving all data storage to enterprise databases,
- allowing only non-update user actions (e.g., data visualization, what-ifs, high fidelity presentation) in Excel, and

- replacing an unlimited number of UDAs (e.g., Excel macros, MS Access, SQL scripts) with a single integrated system hosted in Excel.

By seamlessly integrating all of above in MS Office, D4E delivers end-user computing approach - but also delivers enterprise approach for data strategy and governance (including change control, accuracy, security, disaster recovery and service level agreement), whilst mobilizing Excel's strengths in user-friendliness, deep end-user experience, presentation and what-if analysis. Your end-user applications will be subject to the same robust controls as the rest of the financial reporting process.
