PBCS offers users the benefits of an enterprise-grade solution and, by hosting it in the cloud,
at a significantly lower cost. PBCS provides tremendous value for both middle market and
enterprise customers; smaller deployments can easily scale as the business grows, while large

When key information is made accessible to everyone who has a stake in it, better, faster,
decisions can be made. An Oracle survey shows planning and budgeting is the leading EPM
application adopted in the cloud today, with respondents indicating nearly double the
number of companies using it compared with the next most popular cloud application which
is workforce planning.
