Profitability is a major indicator of business performance. Unfortunately, the typical financial system manages expenses and revenues from different perspectives. As a result, finance teams often rely on large, complex allocation models (sometimes “black box” systems) to provide management with the strategic P&Ls by geographical area, business unit, product, segment, and more—all in an attempt to pivot from “what it is,” to “what it’s for.” Regardless of industry, company size, or function, more strategic insight into underlying cost structures and their impact on profitability is necessary. Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management Cloud Service (PCMCS) is a performance management application that introduces a world of possibilities for organizations to enhance financial data generated through their general ledgers and EPM systems into meaningful, accurate, and consumable information. Unlike traditional profitability systems, which require a large investment in both infrastructure and related technical overhead, PCMCS allows business users to easily create and manage their profitability systems with unparalleled speed and efficiency, supporting numerous use cases in both the financial close and management reporting domains, including IT financial management, operational transfer pricing, expense allocations, fully allocated P&L, strategic P&Ls, and operational profitability. View this webinar to learn how PCMCS is an effective solution with benefits for every industry—one that empowers business users to gain insight into hidden profit and cost across key business dimensions. The presentation provides an overview of business needs using a perspective around corporate and shared service allocations. You’ll also gain insight into the PCMCS solution capabilities and functionality, including a comparison to other EPM tools, and we’ll share specific use cases.

In the past five years, the EPM world has changed dramatically. The introduction of Oracle's Cloud Services has forced all organizations to rethink their EPM usage and strategy. As cloud adoption continues to grow, data integration has become a critical success factor in a cloud evolution. In this session, we will focus on two primary areas to better position your organization for success in its cloud journey. First, we will highlight the most commonly deployed of the myriad of tools available including FDMEE, Cloud Data Management (including Integrations), EPM Automate, and the REST APIs. We will also discuss third-party tools and how they may (or may not) fit into an overall integration strategy. Armed with a greater understanding of the tools and their strengths and weaknesses, we will then discuss the foundational elements that are the building blocks to efficient and scalable integration. We'll explore how these components interrelate to one another so that you can avoid the common pitfalls that often occur without this in-depth understanding. After attending this session, you will be empowered by not only understanding which tools are available but also how to leverage them effectively to address your data integration needs for both on-premises and cloud EPM applications.
