The Latest Version of NoetixViews Features Support for Oracle Subledger Accounting and a Global Extension for Human Resources Views

REDMOND, Wash. -- Noetix([R]) Corp., a software provider that automatically generates business intelligence (BI) content from enterprise applications, today introduced a new version of its flagship product, NoetixViews, with an array of innovative features that includes support for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.

"Many organizations will be making the move to Release 12 in the coming months and Noetix is positioned to be a key part of this transition, providing upgrade protection and full support for the new features that have been introduced," said director of Product Management, Paul Winterstein. "Noetix continues to enable organizations to maximize their investment in Oracle's enterprise applications by significantly reducing the costs associated with deploying and maintaining business intelligence solutions."

Noetix is now shipping the following NoetixViews version 5.8 modules with support for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12: Oracle Assets, Oracle Benefits, Oracle Human Resources, Oracle General Ledger, Oracle Payables, Oracle Payroll, and Oracle Receivables. This accomplishment required new innovation to accommodate the following notable changes from Oracle in Release 12 including:

* The introduction of Oracle Subledger Accounting.

* Trading Community Architecture (TCA) expanded to now include bank and supplier information.

* Funds disbursement and supplier setup moving to the new Oracle Payments application.

* Bank setup moving to the Oracle Cash Management application.

* Collections and customer correspondence functionality moving to the Oracle Advanced Collections application.

* Tax calculations introduced by the new Oracle E-Business Tax application.

NoetixViews version 5.8 has been validated to work with Release 12, and will provide upgrade protection for the vast majority of existing customer reports and queries that use these views in an Oracle 11i environment.

Also introduced in version 5.8 is NoetixViews Global Extension for Oracle Human Resources (HR). These global HR views enable both Oracle 11i and Release 12 users with multiple business groups, to access data from one, multiple, and all business groups in a single query. Noetix has enhanced support for native Oracle HR security while adding the capability for customers to create custom HR security policies for reporting. Coupled with its plan to deliver native Oracle E-Business Suite authentication for third-party query tools from Cognos and Business Objects, these advancements by Noetix offer the most flexible, secure, easy to deploy, and simple-to-maintain solutions available in the marketplace.

"As we begin the process of upgrading to Oracle Release 12, we are confident that Noetix will protect our existing reporting infrastructure from Release 12 changes as they have done for us in the past, and look forward to the additional benefits of helping us keep our IT maintenance costs down while speeding our custom report development process," said Larry Frank, VP of Information Technology, First Choice Expeditions, Inc.

A beta version of NoetixViews for Oracle Discrete Manufacturing, Order Management, Purchasing, Advanced Supply Chain Planning, Projects, and Grants with support for Release 12 will be available in Q2, 2008. This version will include support for the new Release 12 common Inventory application. The remainder of the NoetixViews modules, including those for Oracle Service and Process Manufacturing, will ship with support for Release 12 in Q3 later this year.
