Overview

Hubble is a web-based reporting, budgeting and planning product from insightsoftware built specifically for organizations running Oracle JD Edwards EnterpriseOne (JDE) or Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS). It lets finance and operational users build and modify their own reports from templates designed around common JDE data structures and customizations, rather than submitting requests to IT for RPG-based or custom report-writer work.

The platform connects directly to live JDE/EBS data for real-time reporting, and is positioned to avoid the heavy queries that can slow a production ERP system. Beyond ad hoc and financial-statement reporting, Hubble supports collaborative budgeting and planning workflows across business units, with Excel-style modeling that multiple users can work in simultaneously. The Hubble 24.2 release added a new workspace interface, PDF generation, configurable log-generation thresholds and stream alerts. Access carries over a customer's existing JD Edwards security roles, layered with single sign-on and multi-factor authentication at the insightsoftware platform level, and Lineos AI provides in-product, searchable answers about Hubble functionality.

insightsoftware markets Hubble alongside its other Oracle-focused reporting products, Angles for Oracle and Wands for Oracle, positioning Hubble as the web-based reporting option within its broader ERP reporting portfolio, which the company says over 500,000 users rely on across its full product line.
