Analytics implementations · Oracle · Workday · SAP

Your ERP is live. Your analytics still are not.

Irvine Analytics turns Oracle Fusion data — across finance, HR, supply chain, and planning — into a customer-owned analytics layer in 10 business days. We combine a proprietary Oracle Fusion metadata catalog, pre-built data models, deployment automation, and an AI Analyst interface so mid-market enterprises can avoid long consulting cycles and vendor lock-in.

About the firm

Experience inside Oracle Fusion apps and other enterprise systems — implementations, integrations, custom reporting, and analytics. The productized analytics layer is the core offering. Engagements across North America and the United Kingdom.

Senior practitioners end-to-end. No offshoring, no junior handoffs, no surprise change orders. Every engagement ships with the customer owning the code, the data model, and the runbooks.

Vendor cost above is platform license alone — big-four or mid-market integrator implementation typically adds $500K–$3M, billed separately. Irvine Analytics’ $200K is all-in. Oracle comparison based on published Oracle list pricing; Workday and SAP comparisons are modeled estimates based on typical licensing, implementation, and operate scope. Figures sized for typical mid-market 100-user deployment over 3 years. Excludes hyperscaler infrastructure (paid directly to Google Cloud, AWS, or Azure in both scenarios). See methodology notes 2, 5, 6, 7.

Fit
When Irvine Analytics is the right answer · and when it isn’t
Where Irvine Analytics fits best
  • Mid-enterprise · 1,000–10,000 employees. Where a $3M big-four overhead isn’t worth it.
  • CFO or CIO who values ownership over managed-service convenience. You want the code, the models, the dashboards — not a renewable subscription to access them.
  • Teams on Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, or ADW. Or planning to be. Your reporting tool is Power BI, Tableau, or ThoughtSpot — not the vendor’s.
  • Analytics live in weeks, not years. The data already exists in Oracle Fusion, Workday, or SAP. You don’t need eighteen months of discovery.
  • Procurement that prefers fixed-price. Time-and-materials runs 30–60% over plan on enterprise analytics builds.
Where to pick someone else
  • Already standardised on Oracle Analytics Cloud as the enterprise reporting tool. Stay on Oracle’s stack; Irvine Analytics deliberately doesn’t.
  • Existing multi-year consulting relationships still in flight. Wait for the next renewal cycle.
  • Customers who want a managed black-box service. Irvine Analytics’ entire premise is customer ownership; if that’s not what you want, the answer is FDI, SAC, or Adaptive Planning.
Governed AI Analyst
Read-only · 24/7

Reconciliations, anomalies, plain-English Q&A.

Does not replace financial review. Monitors reconciliations, data quality, refresh failures, unusual movements, and semantic-layer drift. Plain-English answers grounded only in approved metrics and governed data models, with drill-through to source records.

Anomalies
Unusual patterns — manual JEs above threshold, balance shifts, transaction velocity changes.
Data quality
Reconciliation drift, missing data, mismatches between source ERP3 and downstream reports.
Config drift
Settings changed from baseline — period close rules, security roles, account mappings.

01 Speed
Proof of concept in 10 days.
First production dashboard live in ten days. Full module coverage in thirty to sixty days. Fixed dates, fixed scope, fixed deliverables — set at the start of each phase and held to.

What ships in 10 days

  • One module live in production · real data, real users, real refresh
  • Raw extracts and organized data for the chosen module
  • Five core metrics ready to use
  • An executive scorecard wired to the source

Illustrative data based on Oracle Fusion ERP reports we build with our customers. Production cockpit reconciles automatically with full audit trail to source. Irvine AI Analyst is a read-only review layer — it summarizes approved reconciliations, anomalies, and metric movements from governed data models. It does not post journals, approve transactions, change source data, or replace controller review.

Methodology & references
8 notes · figures basis · vendor pricing · engagement scope
Expand Collapse +

Each numbered claim on this page links here. Figures are illustrative and based on published vendor list pricing; your actual figures depend on user count, module scope, and existing licensing.

1
Proof of concept in 10 days. One source module live in production at the end of a fixed-fee 10-business-day engagement. Includes raw extracts, organized business data, five core metrics in production, an executive scorecard wired to source, and source-control checked in to customer's Git. Real users, real data, real refresh. Ten business days assumes prerequisite access, a single in-scope module, a ready cloud workspace, and daily finance SME availability. Complex security, custom chart-of-accounts logic, or historical backfills may extend the timeline.
2
80% lower cost. Three-year total cost of ownership comparing the vendor's own analytics product (published list pricing for a ~100-user enterprise deployment) vs Irvine's fixed-fee engagement at $200K covering pilot, production, and three years of light managed operate. Specific platform figures in notes 5, 6, 7. Excludes hyperscaler infrastructure (paid directly to Google Cloud, AWS, or Azure in both scenarios).
3
0% variance to source. Trial balance, journal totals, and key control totals reconciled to the source ERP exactly before each go-live. Automated daily reconciliation checks alert on any drift. Variance refers to reconciled control totals; individual transactions reconcile by design.
4
100% customer-owned. All source code, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform), and dashboard definitions checked in to the customer's Git. All infrastructure on the customer's cloud account. All data in the customer's tenant. Zero proprietary frameworks. Zero exit cost. The customer owns the deployed code, data model, dashboards, infrastructure configuration, and runbooks. Irvine retains its reusable accelerators and implementation methodology. There is no required Irvine runtime license after delivery.
5
Oracle Fusion cost basis. Vendor: Oracle Fusion Data Intelligence at $450/user/month list price × 100 users × 36 months = $1.6M (rounded). Source: Oracle published pricing. Irvine: $200K covering pilot, production, and three years of light managed operate.
6
Workday cost basis. Vendor: Workday Adaptive Planning + Prism Analytics module licensing plus implementation partner cost for a typical mid-market build with three-year operate — estimated $1.0M over 3 years. Irvine: $200K covering pilot, production, and three years of light managed operate.
7
SAP cost basis. Vendor: SAP Analytics Cloud + Datasphere licensing plus implementation partner cost for a typical S/4HANA Finance analytics build — estimated $1.2M over 3 years. Irvine: $200K covering pilot, production, and three years of light managed operate.
8
Productized core vs available. Oracle Fusion ERP Analytics is our productized core offering with multiple production references. Oracle EPM is available via a specialist team and vetted subcontractor network for advanced configuration. Oracle HCM, Workday, and SAP S/4HANA are available on the same methodology with system-specific extraction patterns.
9
Extraction method. For most finance modules, Irvine uses Oracle-supported extraction patterns such as BICC bulk extracts, BI Publisher extracts, and source-system reporting validation. Refresh cadence is agreed by module and source-system capability.
