Oracle Hyperion Conversion
Oracle Hyperion Conversion
Thousands of organizations around the world are using legacy performance management application suites such as Oracle Hyperion. While these products have provided value over spreadsheets and manual approaches, their architectures can cause Finance teams to spend a large amount of their time on data integration and movement between applications, maintaining metadata in multiple systems, and managing upgrades.
These suites typically include separate products or modules for:
Financial Close and Reporting: Data Integration/Data Quality, Financial Consolidation, Financial and Management Reporting, Account Reconciliations, Disclosure Management, Tax Provisioning.
Financial Planning and Analysis: Financial Budgeting and Forecasting, Strategic Planning, Workforce Planning, Capital Asset Planning, Project Planning, Sales Planning, Profitability Management, Performance Reporting, Multidimensional Analysis, and Modeling.
As a result, data from source systems such as GL, HR, CRM, and others must be loaded into multiple databases and applications. In addition, data must be moved between applications to perform simple tasks such as actual vs. budget or forecast analysis.
Getting organizations to make the move from legacy application suites to more modern, unified CPM solutions can be challenging due to many forces. This can include a lack of leadership, lack of time, lack of resources, risk avoidance, and others. But building a solid and compelling financial business case for conversion can help get the attention of senior management and spur the entire organization to action.
