Unite finance and operational data. Discover clarity. Drive performance

Oyster Data is proud to announce a first for the African market. We have launched Reporting as a Service (RaaS) based on the class leading Solver platform.

Now you can access all your valuable operational and financial data in a Cloud environment, build and share reports, streamline your budget process and go visual with Business Intelligence models.

Spend less time preparing reports and more time analysing the data and driving action.

But that is not all – we have dramatically lowered the minimum cost and spread the cashflow so you pay one low monthly that includes monitoring and support. This is a saving of over 30% over the traditional implementation model.

Feedback from our clients shows that a Solver implementation saves at least 10 finance manager work days a month. Expand datasets and reporting across the business and you have your valuable staff making quicker and better informed decisions.

Our experienced team, with its data, reporting and design skills, gets you up and running quicker  and supports you on your reporting journey. This means accelerated return on investment and a step change in your reporting environment.

With the demands of a regular job, keeping up with changes and maintaining best practices in data, modelling and reporting can be overwhelming.  Leverage our skills and experience to give you the capacity to focus on what matters most, without letting your FP&A process slip. 

We implement, maintain and support your Solver environment, data and budget and reporting templates. Choose from our support contracts, ranging from technical support to the full management of your FP&A process. For new or existing implementations.

In today’s fast-paced and competitive business environment, we help transform your organisation’s financial planning and analysis capabilities. With over twenty years FP&A experience and eight years’ experience building BI dashboards and data models, we empower clients with scenario-rich planning and forecasting tools. You shouldn’t have to wait days or weeks to see how changes in assumptions impact your forecast or budget bottom line, liquidity, or covenants. Imagine an hour-long discussion on key inputs that instantly generates your budget. This transformative approach to planning will allow your business to become increasingly agile.

We leverage Solver and PowerBI to meet your needs, from implementing cloud-based FP&A solutions from the ground up, to cleaning up and rewriting your Solver reports and budget inputs, and re-designing your PowerBI reports, all aimed at making them run faster and more robust with the necessary insight.

Having the right data is useless if you can’t easily understand or navigate it. Cluttered dashboards, inconsistent conventions, and a lack of information hierarchy prevents teams from adopting new products and systems that can boost your business’ bottom line. We ensure product adoption is not a hurdle by prioritising the design of our systems by integrating User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) design to maximise your return on investment.

We do more than make your dashboards visually appealing – we ensure they address the right problems, in the right way, tailored to your teams needs. We create BI dashboard mock-ups to facilitate clear communication among all stakeholders, ensuring alignment and sign-off before implementing your solutions.
