Not necessarily. For organizations with internal IT or development teams, the BI Connector Developer Edition gives developers everything they need to self-serve. For the BI Connector Platform, our onboarding service packs are designed to get your environment live quickly without requiring deep technical resources on your side. Most customers are reporting from Fusion within hours or days of starting onboarding.

BI Connector supports a broad range of Oracle Fusion modules across ERP (General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Assets, Projects, Procurement), SCM (Supply Chain, Order Management, Logistics, OTM), HCM (Core HR, Payroll, Talent, Workforce Management), and CX (Sales, Marketing, Service). Contact our team for a full module coverage list specific to your Fusion version.

Yes. BI Connector connects directly and securely to your Oracle Fusion instance using a certified connector. There is no middleware, no data extraction to a third-party store, and no replication delay. Your reports always reflect the latest refresh of Fusion data.

Yes. BI Connector supports Microsoft Fabric and Azure Data Factory (ADF) as pipeline destinations. The Fabric / ADF option is available on any bundle at a flat annual surcharge. This is well suited for organizations building centralized data warehouses or lakehouse architectures on top of Oracle Fusion data.

BI Connector Developer Edition is a standalone SQL tool for Oracle Fusion developers and power users. It lets you connect directly to your Fusion instance, browse the schema, and write and test SQL queries without needing Power BI, Tableau, or any other BI tool open. It is ideal for IT teams, data engineers, and report developers who need direct access to Fusion data for query development and testing.

The BI Connector Platform is the core data connectivity product. It creates a live, certified connection between Oracle Fusion and your BI tool, giving you access to the underlying data so you can build your own reports and dashboards. Pre-Built Solutions sit on top of that connection and provide ready-made query libraries and Finance dashboards for teams that want to skip the build and start reporting immediately.

A reporting area is a domain of Oracle Fusion data that BI Connector makes available to your BI platform. For example, within the ERP suite, Finance is one reporting area covering General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and related data. Projects and Procurement are separate reporting areas. Each area maps to a distinct functional team and set of Oracle Fusion modules.

Professional Services packs are fixed-scope engagements delivered by Oracle Fusion and BI specialists. Each pack has a defined set of hours and a specific outcome, such as a custom query library, a live pipeline into Power BI or Tableau, or a finished dashboard. There are no open-ended retainers. You know exactly what you are getting before work begins.

Onboarding is a one-time service pack that covers the full setup of your BI Connector environment, including connection to your Oracle Fusion instance, BI platform configuration, and validation of your first reports. Power BI and Tableau onboarding is a 10-hour service pack. Fabric and ADF onboarding is a 40-hour service pack given the additional pipeline complexity involved.

No. Your annual subscription price is fixed regardless of headcount growth. The only reason your price would change is if you choose to expand into additional suites or upgrade your bundle tier, both of which you control. You will never be surprised by a per-seat charge as your team scales.
