“…companies are finding that spreadsheets no longer meet their
requirements. They need a system that cuts across operational
silos, taps into multiple asset classes and data sources, creates
structured databases of auditable information, then analyzes and displays
information in a role-sensitive manner, enabling action and management.”

What Customers Are Saying…
Customers Successfully Using the Solution
Because our GHG emission reporting is now incorporated
into our financial reporting systems, and based around
accounts payable data entry, we now have complete
confidence that the data is an accurate measurement of energy consumption. Oracle
Environmental Accounting and Reporting Solution provides a solid foundation for
meeting Abigroup’s internal and external reporting requirements and also feeding into
our clients’ own energy and emissions reporting obligations”
– Sarah Marshall, National Environment and Sustainability Manager
“We can view the greenhouse gas and energy figures for each of
our facilities on a daily basis. Before we had this solution in
place, we had to download the data from the JD Edwards
system and manipulate it in Microsoft Excel, which would take a
couple of months. Now, it takes a couple of days to get the data and enter it into the
Australian Government Web site. Data accuracy is far better too.”
