A margin planning process must support risk and return management for retail banks and credit unions to outperform peers. The key to accomplishing this is a flexible and scalable scenario-modeling platform that empowers users to model net-interest income, margin, and funds-transfer pricing across a diverse portfolio of deposit and loan products. The tools and technology used are an important consideration to providing a competitive advantage; a margin planning solution should provide insight into a bank’s rapidly changing business and enable leaders to make quick and well-informed decisions. Attend this webinar to see how Oracle Cloud EPM provides a prescriptive business modeling process that seamlessly links C-suite, finance, and branch teams to drive new business pipeline. Alithya's Bank Margin Planning accelerator enables retail banks and credit unions to navigate economic uncertainties by exploring "what-if" interest rate benchmark adjustments to see the macro-economic impact. Hear a real-world case study of one of our retail credit union clients that successfully deployed Alithya's Bank Margin Planning accelerator using Oracle EPM Planning and see a live demo of its capabilities, user-friendly interface, and potential to revolutionize your financial planning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpZgH6VJFb4

This episode is sponsored by Resco.net. Power Platform has influenced how Microsoft customers and partners evaluate how to extend or customize business systems, including for mobile scenarios. Microsoft has adjusted its marketing around Power Platform over the years, with early emphasis on the citizen developers and no-code customization and now promoting its strengths as a development platform for everyone from business users to pro developers.
