INTELLIGENCE?

2. BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE
Oracle's Hyperion Planning is a web driven Planning and Budgeting tool that utilizes
Oracle Essbase as the data storage and calculation engine. By leveraging Essbase's
multidimensional data model as well as standard relational database management
platforms, Oracle's Hyperion Planning provides a powerful tool for forecasts,
budgeting, reporting, and analysis. The Essbase portion of the application gives
Hyperion Planning the calculation power to handle predictive planning, allocations
and complicated revenue recognition planning. The relational repository allows
Planning to collect textual information critical to a coordinated understanding of the
budget.

3. BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE
Hyperion Planning contains process flow management and process guidance for
end users. While Hyperion Planning is a web software application, it also has an
add-in with Microsoft Office (called Smartview) which allows users to forecast or
budget in Microsoft Excel, an environment comfortable to most finance users.
Hyperion Planning is part of Oracle's Hyperion EPM software suite and is often
utilized with Hyperion Financial Reports and Web Analysis to enhance the analytic
value inherent in its underlying use of Essbase. Hyperion Planning has two
additional add-in modules; Workforce Planning and CapEx Planning that can be
