Creating a SQLServer BI cube from Oracle data source

We currently have a process that tracks errors with submissions. The current process is a job that has multiple tables that are joined and inserted into a final table. This final tables data was to be used for reporting and I suggested building a small cube with this data. My initial thought was to create dimensions with all the tables in the procedure and insert into a fact table, with start schema,  and use this for reporting.
My first question is when using Oracle data source in a SQL Server BI solution, what is the best way to do this when the tables are fairly large? Should I create an SSIS package and bring the data from Oracle into staging tables and then create the cube in SQL Server based off of these staging tables?
