PRISM: Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC)
Oracle Analytics Cloud
Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) is a comprehensive enterprise analytics environment used for analysis and reporting of data. It offers dashboards, ad hoc querying, and scheduled distribution of the University's financial information in a secure cloud-based environment. The tool is primarily used by the CFO’s Office and is focused on PRISM General Ledger data in the Financial Data Warehouse and also provides access to CONCUR expense reporting.
OAC provides both a curated data model with subject areas for building "single source of truth" analyses as well as self-service analytics capabilities for users to ingest, cleanse, and combine their own data for rapid data discovery.
OAC Data
Posted General Ledger data is loaded into the Financial Data Warehouse on a daily basis. Please keep in mind that the close of the month occurs on the third business day of the following month and the monthly payrolls are costed just prior to close. Concur data is also loaded on a daily basis.
User Access
User access is typically granted at the RC level by Pitt IT ERP Financials in collaboration with the Office of the CFO. Click here for OAC Financial Data Warehouse and Concur dashboard access.

What do I do if my OAC account is locked?
