If you already have Oracle as your ERP system, you’re sitting on one of the most valuable assets in your organization, your financial data. Every invoice, journal entry, supplier payment, and ledger balance is captured with precision. Oracle ensures control, compliance, and operational reliability.

But here’s where most organizations hit a wall. You have the data, but not the answers when you need them. By the time reports are generated, validated, and shared, the business has already moved forward. Finance ends up reacting instead of guiding decisions.

So, the real question is no longer just: How do you access your Oracle data? Real question is how do you interact with your data in real time, and get answers instantly? This is where the shift begins, from systems and dashboards to AI-driven financial intelligence powered by Databricks Genie.

How It All Comes Together

At a high level, the flow looks like this:

• Oracle ERP captures financial transactions
• Brickbuilder transforms and organizes Oracle data into a governed Lakehouse
• Data is structured into business-ready Gold layers
• CFO dashboards provide real-time visibility
• Databricks Genie enables conversational insights and what-if analysis

The result? a complete shift from reactive reporting, manual analysis, delayed decisions to real-time intelligence, self-service analytics, and proactive decision-making.

Let’s go through each step-in detail to understand the solution better.

Oracle Data to a Data Foundation with Databricks

Oracle ERP systems are incredibly robust, but they are not built for flexible, real-time analytics.

Organizations often deal with:

• Fragmented financial data
• Slow reporting cycles
• Heavy reliance on analysts
• Limited advanced analytics capabilities

To solve this, Bizmetric’s Databricks Brickbuilder solution creates a structured data foundation by transforming Oracle data into a governed Lakehouse with curated Gold layers.
Brickbuilder is not the destination, it’s the foundation. The real transformation happens when this clean, trusted data becomes interactive.

From Dashboards to Decisions and Beyond

With curated data in place, organizations can build CFO dashboards that deliver:

• Real-time visibility into profitability and cash flow
• Working capital insights (AR, AP, inventory)
• KPI tracking aligned to business performance

Finance leaders can explore data without analyst dependency, identify trends instantly, and drill down into issues in real time. Even with dashboards, you still have to navigate, filter, interpret and that takes time and hinder decision-making.

Databricks Genie: Turning Data into a Conversation

What if instead of navigating dashboards, you could simply ask your data? This is where Databricks Genie becomes the core of the solution.

Built on top of the curated Lakehouse (powered by Brickbuilder), Genie introduces a conversational AI layer that allows finance teams to interact with data using natural language. It brings no SQL, no technical skills, no waiting and delivers immediate answers.

Why Genie Changes the Game for Finance

Genie is not just another analytics tool, it fundamentally changes how finance teams work. It operates directly on trusted Gold layer data sourced from Oracle, ensuring that every response is accurate, real-time, fully traceable. This is critical for finance, where decisions must be backed by trusted data.

But the real power of Genie lies in how it enables thinking. Instead of static reports, finance teams can now:

• Explore scenarios
• Test assumptions
• Ask follow-up questions instantly
• Move from insight to action in seconds

Conversations with Dashboards

What if instead of navigating dashboards, you could simply ask your data? This is where Databricks Genie changes the game.

Genie works directly on trusted Gold layer data sourced from Oracle, ensuring that every answer is accurate, real-time, and fully traceable. This is critical, especially for finance, where trust in data is non-negotiable.

The Kind of Questions Genie Can Answer

Genie can answer any question based on the data it has.

Here are some example questions:

On Receivables (AR)

• What if our top 10 customers delay payments by 30 days, how will it impact cash flow?
• Which customers are consistently moving into 60+ day aging buckets?

On Payables (AP)

• What if we extend supplier payments by 15 days—how much cash can we preserve?
• Which suppliers are critical and should be prioritized for payments?

On Cash Flow & Working Capital

• What if AR improves by 10 days while AP stretches by 10 days—what is the net impact?
• When is our next projected cash gap?

Finance teams can now simulate scenarios instantly—without building complex models.

On General Ledger (GL)

• Which journal entries don’t have proper subledger linkage?
• What if we restate GL balances by removing manual adjustments above a threshold?

On Financial Integrity (Subledger to GL)

• Are all AR invoices correctly reflected in GL?
• Where are the reconciliation gaps between subledger and ledger?

These are questions that traditionally take days to answer, now available in seconds.

Success Story Snapshot

In one of our implementations, a large enterprise was struggling with siloed financial data spread across multiple systems (mainly on Oracle EBS), a heavy reliance on manual reporting, and delayed access to critical insights that slowed decision-making.

Our Solution: We implemented Brickbuilder to unify Oracle data into a centralized Lakehouse, built intuitive CFO dashboards to deliver real-time financial visibility, and enabled Databricks Genie to provide conversational AI-driven insights.

The transformation was significant: finance teams transitioned to self-service analytics, decision-making became 2× faster, reporting cycles were reduced by 80%, and operational costs dropped by 55%.
