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

As an enterprise platform, D4E manages apps built for integration with MS 365 that replace UDA's and user VBA. Effectively, you can "compile" and maintain UDA's, VBA, PowerBI, SQL, and macros in an secured app store that is separate from any user files; and yet can be used as easily as before in Excel via ribbon menus. With D4E, you can build self-service data discovery tools that access ODBC databases (Oracle, DB2, Teradata, MS SQL).

Are you using a supporting tool, or an enterprise system?

Allow business users who are subject matter-rich but SQL-poor to report securely from data warehouses or data lakes.

Sox auditors

Use D4E to validate data  between applications and DWH. As a common tool, D4E will give a common answer from all sources.

DATA GOVERNANCE

• "D4E can make it easy to maintain hundreds of apps stored in one location."
  
• "We use D4E more than we use the original vendor supplied enquiry tools."
  
• "D4E output sheets do not use vendor formulas (UDFs) and so can be refreshed/ transported as part of an end-to-end solution."
  

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

-   Data Storage,

-   CALCULATIVE Processes,

-   Data Visualization,

-   High-Fidelity Reporting.

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

- moving all Excel permanent 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.

D4E keeps all end-user Excel functionality but elevates Excel data retrieval functions to align with enterprise data strategy and governance (including change control, accuracy, security, disaster recovery and service level agreement), thereby mobilizing Excel's strengths in user-friendliness, deep end-user experience, presentation and what-if analysis. As a result, your critical VBA or SQL code or PowerBI M-queries or DB credentials, are now hidden away (still editable via change control). End-user applications will be subject to the same robust data and logic controls as the rest of the enterprise financial reporting process.

DATA ANALYTICS

SOlve the 80/20 dilemma of time spent on data gathering VS. data analysis by USING INNOVATIVE tools to COMPRESS reporting TIMES.

D4E can be part of an enterprise data architecture such as:-

- Core Enterprise Systems (GL, DW, CRM, Cloud Data),

- Tools for data transformation and delivery (BI tools, PEGA, Informatica, Microstrategy, D4E), and

- Tactical solutions to meet ad-hoc reporting needs (TM1, Solvexia, D4E).
