Three things, done right

What ESC Lens does, in plain terms.

Ask anything

"Show me overdue invoices by customer." "What's our trial balance for FY2026?" "Compare last month's AP to this month's." Your AI Agent translates plain English into structured data — tables, charts, and Excel exports — in seconds.

Read-only. Role-scoped.

The AI Agent is strictly read‑only by design — no UPDATE, no INSERT, no DELETE. Every query is run as the user, not as an admin, and inherits your JDE role‑based security. Your AP clerk cannot see executive payroll. Your regional manager sees only their plant's data. The database is never wide open.

Excel in one sentence

"Export this to Excel." That's the whole command. You get a branded, formatted XLSX in two seconds, with summary totals, your company logo optional, and drill-down ready — not a CSV dump.

The unhappy status quo

Your ERP has the data. Your CFO is still waiting.

How it works today

The 2‑day report cycle.

  • Need a number for the board? Submit a ticket. Wait 2 days.
  • Quick AR aging question? Hope the analyst with the right access is in.
  • Want to verify a metric before a call? Have IT write a custom Crystal Report.
  • Year-end close getting tight? Queue behind 14 other requests.
  • Strategic decisions delayed because the data is locked in screens nobody wants to navigate.
How it should have worked

Ask. Get the answer. Move on.

  • Plain‑English question → answer in under 30 seconds.
  • Each user sees only what their JDE role allows. No exceptions, no workarounds.
  • Every answer comes with the SQL it ran, fully auditable.
  • One sentence to export anything to a branded Excel file.
  • Your IT team stops being a reporting helpdesk — finally.

The same question, three correct answers

Security isn't a checkbox.
It's the entire architecture.

AI Agent injected the row filter based on the user's JDE role. No access to GL or HR — same as inside JDE itself.
UserFinance Mgr
Returns vouchers across Companies 00001 and 00050.

open vouchers
Broader JDE role scope. Bank account columns still hidden by the AI Agent. HR data still blocked.
UserProcurement
Query refused.

"Your JDE role does not have access to Accounts Payable. Please contact your AP team."
JDE role denies AP table access. The AI Agent refuses upfront — no SQL written, no data read.

Each result is from the same AI Agent answering the same question. The difference is who's asking — and the agent applies the user's JDE role‑based security before writing a single line of SQL. Read-only, always.

Frequently asked

The questions every IT & finance lead asks first.

Does ESC Lens have write access to my ERP?
No. The ESC Lens AI Agent is strictly read-only by design. We require only SELECT permissions on the tables in scope — nothing more. No UPDATE. No INSERT. No DELETE. The platform is architecturally incapable of modifying your ERP data, and every query generated is logged for audit.
How does the AI Agent handle our JDE security?
The AI Agent reads your existing JDE role-based security at every query — the same row, column, and table rules your JDE administrator already configured for that user in JDE itself. Row filters are injected into the SQL. Hidden columns are excluded. Denied tables are refused upfront before any query is written. The user sees exactly what their JDE role permits them to see in JDE — nothing more, nothing less. No service accounts. No bypass. No wide-open database.
What versions of JD Edwards do you support?
JD Edwards EnterpriseOne 9.0 and above. We connect to your underlying database (Oracle, SQL Server) read-only — no middleware or AIS server required.
How do I know the SQL queries are accurate?
Every answer ships with the exact SQL that generated it — fully visible, fully auditable. Your IT team can review, validate, and export every query. In practice, accuracy matches your ERP exactly because we're querying your actual data, not a copy.
How long does deployment take?
Two to three weeks for the typical Starter or Professional deployment. Week one: connect to your sandbox JDE, map your security roles, validate the first 10 queries together. Week two: production cutover, user training, and your first live demo to leadership. Enterprise deployments with on-prem hosting take 4‑6 weeks.
Where does my data live?
Your ERP data stays in your ERP. ESC Lens connects to it for each query and never persists query results outside your environment. The platform itself can run as a hosted SaaS on our cloud, in your own Azure / AWS tenancy, or fully on-premise for Enterprise customers.
Do my users need SQL or technical training?
No. ESC Lens is designed for business users. If you can type "Show me overdue invoices for Company 00050", you can use it. The whole point is to remove the technical gatekeeping that keeps the data locked away from the people who need it.
