## Overview

### Key benefits of Enterprise Excel

The Benefits:&#10;&#10;All those spreadsheet features that you know and love – complete freedom to model creatively, unencumbered by restrictive platforms – are present in Enterprise Excel. The game-changing difference is that we’ve gotten rid of all Excel’s weaknesses. You keep the familiar, feature-rich Excel interface, and gain best-in-class processing speed, collaboration tools and security.&#10;&#10;Sounds too good to be true? Let’s take a closer look at some of the benefits:&#10;&#10;Faster Modeling:&#10;&#10;With standard desktop Excel, modeling corporate finance data is time-consuming and error-prone.&#10;&#10;Data must be exported from the ERP, MRP or general ledger system, reformatted, then manually imported into Excel. With Excel containing all business logic and handling all processing, entire models can be irreparably broken with a single keystroke, and worksheets can take an eternity to load. Sharing the worksheet creates duplicate copies for each recipient, eliminating the single-source-of-truth model.&#10;&#10;Not with Enterprise Excel. Instead of exporting data from the system of record, reformatting it into rows and columns and importing it into Excel, raw transaction data is sent from the ERP, MRP or GL into the A3 Cube, where consolidations are automatic and updates are instantaneous. That allows for real-time reporting, budgeting, forecasting and analysis.&#10;&#10;A Choice of Integrations:&#10;&#10;We can deploy Enterprise Excel on-site, or securely and remotely in the Microsoft Azure cloud.&#10;&#10;Whichever integration works best, you can be up and running in days. That means zero impact to existing workflows, and no need to redesign existing models and worksheets.&#10;&#10;Enterprise Excel works with all corporate data source types, including: &#10;&#10;Relational&#10;OLAP (Essbase and Analysis Services)&#10;OLTP&#10;Flat File&#10;Spreadsheets&#10;&#10;In turn, that means all ERP, MRP and general ledger solutions are supported, including:&#10;&#10;Microsoft Dynamics AX&#10;Microsoft Dynamics NAV&#10;NetSuite&#10;SAP&#10;Oracle&#10;Infor&#10;Sage&#10;Epicor&#10;&#10;It’s also Exastack Ready, and compatible with the latest versions of Oracle database 11g, Solaris 11, Linux 5.5, Exadata, and SPARC SuperCluster.&#10;&#10;A Single Version of the Truth:&#10;&#10;By centralizing your transaction-level information in the A3 Cube, we automatically create a single version of the truth from which Excel can pull data for modeling, analysis, what-if experiments, KPI monitoring, dashboard creation and more.&#10;&#10;Excel, but Better:&#10;&#10;By leveraging the power of the Cloud, even the most complex calculations can be run in seconds. Models can be shared without fear of breakage or loss of data integrity. Work product can be easily routed, dramatically shortening budget cycle times. Simply put, Enterprise Excel is how spreadsheets are supposed to be.

### "MINIMAL IMPLEMETATION TIME AND EASY FOR USERS TO UNDERSTAND" — 5.0/5

> **Jan** | *14 August 2014*
> 
> A3 Modeling is a reporting, budgeting and forecasting, Business Intelligence (BI) application easy for all users to understand.  It is Excel based and the models use Excel functionality that users already know. Thus user acceptance training is minimal. &#10;&#10;The flexibility that A3 Modeling provides to meet user and IT requirements is key to the business/IT decision making process.  The users can provide requirements to IT in an Excel spreadsheet.  IT in many cases can adapt Excel spreadsheet (without additional complex coding) to a controlled and secure platform for implementation.  Since many users have advanced Excel skills adequate enough to perform model maintenance, the need for consulting is minimal.&#10;&#10;A3 modeling leverages both OLAP and relational data sources for reporting. A3 Modeling provides web-based Business Intelligence (BI) platform with proper security for users to collect data for budgeting/forecasting and a controlled environment for loading data back to multidimensional (OLAP) and/or relational databases.  Any financial model for complex allocations, eliminations, balance sheet walk forward reconciliations, driver based forecasting can be incorporated into an A3 solution that can be accessed by users from a central source.  Since there is only one model to maintain on the enterprise server, the need for spreadsheet models maintained on user desktops and forwarded in emails throughout the organization is eliminated.  Dashboards from internet access are also included with an A3 Modeling solution.  Additional features that A3 Modeling offers are Workflow for approval processes and web portal for announcements/communication. &#10; &#10;The team at A3 solutions is responsive and cooperative when technical support is required.
