Essbase. TM1. JD Edwards.
Automated without an ETL tool.
The systems that run enterprise finance, planning, and ERP aren't going anywhere. InTouch ships first-class tools for Oracle Essbase, IBM TM1 (now Planning Analytics), and JD Edwards — decades of production experience baked into every parameter. No DataStage license, no Informatica seat, no fragile Perl script from 2008. Just a configurable tool, scheduled, audited, RBAC'd.
Built From Experience, Not Specification
Oracle Essbase
Nine distinct operations: MaxL calc scripts, data loads, outline updates, export, clear, substitution variable updates, backup, restore, and custom CDF execution. Intelligent mutual exclusion — the tool holds an exclusive lock against the cube during destructive operations so two jobs don't collide. A decade of production use across Fortune 500 finance departments.
IBM TM1 / Planning Analytics
Run chores, run TI processes with parameters, read and write cube slices, trigger rebuilds. Fanatical session management — TM1's session limit is a real thing and the tool respects it, with reconnection, timeout tuning, and exclusive-lock patterns for concurrent-run safety. Replaces expensive ETL tooling one job at a time.
JD Edwards Report
Submit UBE reports, monitor completion, retrieve output. Report queue management, per-environment targeting, output routing. The piece that turns "someone needs to run the UBE and email the result" from a daily ticket into a scheduled job.
These Systems Don't Die. They Deserve Modern Automation.
The Replacement Never Quite Comes
Finance and planning orgs have been "migrating away from Essbase" for 15 years. TM1 was supposed to be replaced by cloud planning tools. JDE was supposed to be replaced by Oracle Cloud. Somehow, they're all still in production. InTouch takes that reality seriously.
The Expert Always Leaves
The person who knew the calc scripts, who knew which TI had to run before which chore, who knew the JDE environment variables — they left. Their scripts went with them. InTouch jobs are declarative, documented, and versioned. The knowledge survives the employee.
Enterprise-Grade Access to Enterprise-Grade Systems
Essbase, TM1, and JDE credentials live in the encrypted credential vault, never in a script. RBAC on the job object controls who can run the "month-end close" sequence. The audit log records every run: who, what, when, how long, what rows moved.
