Casabase Software has created a publicly available instance of ExoInsight to allow partners to test out and showcase how ExoInsight enables seamless integration between Alteryx and Oracle Cloud ERP modules. While Casabase Software is always happy to provide a full demo, we realize there are times that involving a third-party can be cumbersome when a quick demonstration is needed to pique a client's interest, close a deal, or prove out additional use cases.
This document will guide you through the process to gain access to ExoInsight, how to obtain and install the ExoInsight Alteryx Plug-in for Oracle Cloud ERP, and how to successfully demo the functionality.
Obtaining Access to ExoInsight
To enable access to ExoInsight, you will need to contact Casabase Software at support@casabasesoftware.com. You will be given the ExoInsight URL and username/password to Oracle Cloud ERP that you will use for the demo. This URL and username/password will be valid for long enough to allow you to become comfortable with the functionality and give the demo. The URL will not change over time so feel free to create workflows that utilize it.
