Raleigh, NC – April 19, 2012 – Capturing a quick, clear view of real-time Oracle general ledger (GL) data is the foundation for faster, more accurate ad-hoc and financial reports. At Collaborate 12, April 22-26 in Las Vegas, hearing research and innovation leader Starkey Laboratories will describe how to achieve such reporting improvements with GL Wand, an Oracle Validated Integration solution from Excel4apps, a Gold-level member of Oracle® Partner Network (OPN) and provider of Excel-based reporting and budget-loading software. In addition, Excel4apps will showcase how Oracle e-Business Suite (EBS) financial users can get even faster access to GL data, with expedited start-up for IT departments, using GL Wand Pre-Release 5 for Oracle EBS.

“The incredible improvements in reporting processes that customers like Starkey Labs have achieved explain why nearly 100% of our customers in a recent survey would recommend GL Wand to other Oracle EBS users,” said Chris Meyer, Director Americas for Excel4apps. “At Collaborate 12, we are excited to introduce new features and other developments in GL Wand Pre-Release 5 that make GL reporting an even faster, more intuitive experience for financial users, with minimal IT involvement.”

Attendees of Collaborate 12, held April 22-26 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, can gain a user’s perspective on GL Wand’s ease of installation and capabilities for expediting ad hoc Oracle reports with Kirk Heitz, an Oracle Financial Business Analyst with Starkey Labs. Scheduled for Wednesday, April 25 at 4:15pm in room Reef D, the presentation, “Starkey Labs: Experience Clarity with Oracle Financial Reporting,” includes a demonstration of GL Wand.

Also, for Collaborate 12 attendees who want to hear how GL Wand Pre-Release 5 further empowers financial users with faster refreshes and drill downs to Oracle GL data, intuitive toolbars, and richer reports, Meyer will present “Introducing GL Wand Pre-Release 5 – The Latest Excel-based Financial Reporting Solution for Oracle EBS” on Wednesday, April 25 at 8:15am in room Reef D.
