Ask your EBS.
In Teams.
Your payroll, HR and finance teams ask Oracle E-Business Suite questions in plain English, in Microsoft Teams, and get answers from your own EBS in seconds. It’s read-only. It never changes EBS.

Payroll runs on questions.
In the days before every run, the same questions land on the few people who know where to look in EBS. Each one is a form to open, a query to run, or a message to send.
“What’s still open for this payroll?”Asked by the payroll manager
“Who hasn’t submitted a timecard?”Asked by supervisors and timekeepers
“Is anyone missing a tax record?”Asked just before the run, if at all
“Which step are we waiting on, and who has it?”Asked by finance and HR leaders
When the answer comes late, the run goes out wrong and gets fixed afterward. DNC EBS Assistant answers these in Teams, in seconds, from your own EBS, so the people who know payroll spend their time on payroll.
Know what’s open, and what will make the run wrong, before it runs.
Attendants are what you subscribe to, one for each area of EBS. The Payroll Attendant is the first, and it’s available now.
Checklist
Available nowWhere your payroll checklist runs in EBS, ask about it the way you’d ask a colleague.
- “What’s still open?”
- “What’s blocking the next step?”
- “Who is that step waiting on?”
- “Which runs are in progress?”
Precheck
Available nowBefore a payroll runs, Precheck finds what will make the run wrong. Errors come first, then warnings, and it names the people and their supervisors.
- ErrorMissing timecards
- ErrorMissing federal or state tax records
- WarningRetro pay pending
- WarningUnapproved timecards
- WarningElement entry batches not yet transferred
Timecard follow-ups. Reminders by Teams chat to the people a timecard is waiting on, with each batch approved by the payroll lead. Oracle Time and Labor first, then ADP.
Fixed rules that find payments and changes needing a second look.
Each rule runs inside your database and returns findings, never values. Every finding reads “needs review”, and goes to someone independent of the work.
- Payroll staffChanges staff make to their own pay records
- Employee paymentsPayment changes and payments that need a second look
- Third-party payeesPayee changes made close to a payment
- PayablesSupplier and invoice activity that needs a second look
- Suppliers matching employeesSupplier details that match an employee’s
Safeguards
- Findings only, never values: no bank account numbers, tax IDs, addresses or pay amounts.
- In private chats, nobody sees a finding about themselves, and findings involving payroll, HR or Payables staff go only to an independent audit group.
The assistant explains each finding and answers your reviewer’s questions. The rules, not the assistant, decide what’s flagged.

Want the history of that record, and who entered what, when?
Illustration of the assistant’s role. Names and details are left out.
A daily scan inside your network posts new findings to your own Teams, as cards and a digest. No AI decides what’s flagged, and nothing goes to DNC.

One assistant. An Attendant for each part of EBS.

Built for the security review.
A small DNC agent inside your network makes one outbound, encrypted connection to DNC. No inbound ports are opened. Answers are written by an AI model (Anthropic) from the lookup results.
Do we have to open a firewall port?
No inbound ports. You add one outbound rule, to a single DNC address.
Is AI involved?
Yes. Answers are written by an AI model (Anthropic) from the lookup results. It receives names and statuses, never bank, tax or pay values.
What can the agent actually run?
Only fixed lookups signed by DNC and approved by you. It can’t run anything else.
What data leaves our network?
You approve which classes of data leave. Bank numbers and national IDs never do.
Can it change anything in EBS?
No. It’s read-only. It can’t approve or record anything, and it won’t give pay amounts or bank details, however it’s asked.
How do we see what it’s doing?
A local audit log in your network records every lookup the agent runs. Your security team reads it.
Who can use it?
You choose. The assistant refuses anyone not on your list.
Tested against the database it answers from.
It’s built to Oracle’s EBS 12.2 integration guidance, and checked with Oracle’s own code and online-patching compliance tools.
Payroll Attendant answers identical to direct database queries, in DNC’s testing.
Outbound, encrypted connection to DNC. No inbound ports.
To set up: one read-only account, one outbound rule, and the Teams app.
