From Weeks to Days: How Innergex Cut Down Oracle Fusion ERP Reporting Time with BI Connector

As a global leader in renewable energy, Innergex relies on accurate, timely data to manage operations across hydro, wind, and solar projects. Every decision from optimizing energy production to financial forecasting depends on fast and reliable reporting. However, their existing Oracle Fusion-based reporting process was slowing them down.

Extracting data from Oracle Fusion ERP was a complex and time-consuming task, requiring high-level SQL expertise. In addition, report generation was a multi-step manual process, making it difficult for business users to access real-time insights. The primary end-users — finance, tax, and procurement teams — were more focused on daily management reporting than statutory reports.

The Impact: Reporting Delays and IT Overload

• Report turnaround took 3–4 weeks, delaying critical business decisions.
• Oracle Fusion ERP’s complex data structure made it even harder for analysts to extract and transform information efficiently.
• Finance and Procurement team users had a tough time accessing Oracle Fusion ERP data directly.
• IT team was overburdened with repetitive data extraction requests.
• Delayed reporting impacted visibility and accuracy in the processing of fixed assets, producing assets continuity schedules, and processing sales taxes upon purchase.

Without a better solution, Innergex faced difficulties in quickly delivering insights to internal clients, making data-driven decision-making slower and less efficient.

The Results: Faster Reports, Scalable Reporting, and More Flexibility

After implementing BI Connector, Innergex’s reporting process has transformed:

• Reports that once took 3–4 weeks are now prototyped in just 3-4 days.
• IT teams have reduced their reporting workload by 40%, freeing up time for higher-value tasks.
• Power BI is now the central reporting tool, with enhanced usability and seamless data access.
• Business teams have greater control over their reporting, eliminating delays caused by manual IT interventions.

By automating Oracle-Power BI connectivity, Innergex has improved efficiency, reduced costs, and enhanced data reliability — all while making reporting more accessible for its teams.

Conclusion: A Future-Ready Data Strategy

With BI Connector, Innergex has built a scalable, future-proof reporting framework that enables faster decision-making, reduces burden on IT, and cuts unnecessary costs. As Innergex continues expanding its renewable energy portfolio, BI Connector remains a critical tool, ensuring that every project is backed by timely, accurate, and actionable insights.
