What is EPBCS?

What is Enterprise Planning & Budgeting Cloud Service ?

EPBCS or Enterprise Planning & Budgeting Cloud Service is now known as Planning in the Oracle EPM Cloud. EPBCS is similar to PBCS (Planning & Budgeting Cloud Service) in that it comes with modular-based Planning offered as Standard cloud feature. In addition, EPBCS comes with custom planning, free form planning, and customized groovy scripts offered as Enterprise cloud features.

Pre-built content can be gradually customized to your planning needs, and all modules can be integrated with each other. End users can create custom planning and forecasting models or get up and running quickly with purpose-built planning models that include prebuilt calculations, dashboards, and reports.

Additional features of Oracle’s Planning in the Cloud solution include:

Decision-Oriented Plans with an Instant Feedback Loop - meet the objectives of your business by creating goal-oriented, driver-based plans, reports, and dashboards.
