I Can do WHAT with PCMCS? Features and Functions, Business Benefits, and Use...Alithya
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.
Attend this session 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.

Supply Chain Advisory and MMIS System Oracle ImplementationAlithya
Many healthcare systems are experiencing rising operation costs and expenses due to operational inefficiencies, making it more challenging — and expensive — to provide quality patient care and engagements.
In this workshop, learn how to establish clear opportunities to optimize your labor, processes, procedures, technology, and inventory costs and a vision to integrate and optimize your current technology investments.
Become an organization that reinvents itself to accelerate efficiencies and cost reduction strategies using digital transformation to provide integrated systems and solutions for an immediate impact.
Digital Transformation in Healthcare: Journey to Oracle Cloud for Integrated,...Alithya
Healthcare has always been a data-driven industry. Until recently, many healthcare institutions struggled with disparate data in siloed enterprise systems because an integrated Cloud solution wasn’t widely available across Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Human Capital Management (HCM), and Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) processes. Today more than ever, it is critical that health systems have the ability to deliver quality care at the right cost. Equally important is the ability to remain agile and adapt to events around them. Without the right foundation in place – these things are impossible. That is why digital transformation is the future of healthcare.

Without the right foundation in place – these things are impossible. That is why digital transformation is the future of healthcare.
In this session, attendees learn:
• Establishing the foundation in the chart of accounts. Visualize how the right COA design can provide actionable analytics.
• Gain an understanding of how financials can directly connect with an EPM-focused solution like Planning to reduce manual processes and increase the efficiency of financial operations teams, therefore, assisting in bringing about real cost transparency to your organization.
• Finally, see how a Human Capital Management (HCM) and Payroll solution integrates seamlessly with the Planning process to provide better visibility into and reporting capabilities on the organization’s employees.
Join us as we embark on the Oracle Cloud digital transformation journey in pursuit of improving healthcare outcomes and bending the cost curve.
nter-pod Revolutions: Connected Enterprise Solution in Oracle EPM Cloud Alithya
The session will discuss a library of solutions implemented at clients for transferring between applications in separate pods. Each configuration has its own merits and use case. The four main categories that will be discussed are -
1. Trickle Feed - uses a combination of inter-pod REST API connection, data management load rule, groovy scripting and scheduled EPM Automate job on a jump server to pick-up the files from source and push to target.
2. Focused On-save Push - pushes an intersection from source to target using inter-pod REST API connection, data management load rule and groovy scripting.
3. Scheduled Push- uses a combination of windows or Linux job, inter-pod REST API connection, groovy scripting, data management load rule and EPM Automate commands to extract and push data en masse from source to target.
4. Json Extract and Load - uses a combination of groovy scripting and inter-pod REST API connection to extract and push an intersection on-save.
The audience will walk-away with learnings and understanding of inter-pod configurations, mainly for EPM Cloud planning applications. Snippets of code will form the "gold dust" takeaway from the session.

So, you can write basic calculations or maybe even intermediate. Nearly every Essbase and Planning applications requires calculations. The better you are at calculations, the more business value your applications deliver. But what makes the difference between good enough and great? What makes your code more reliable, faster, and easier to understand and debug? What techniques can you use to think through challenges and come up with solutions? This session offers some time-tested approaches to writing better calc scripts. Topics include:
Getting the requirements straight, thoroughly but without wasting time
Taking advantage of dimensionality and block structure
Variables and parameterization
One script or two?
What needs to be commented?
Alternative approaches to some common challenges
This session is intended for Essbase BSO developers who want to think about what “better code” means and how to write it. It requires at least some knowledge of Essbase BSO calculations.

Interstellar - The Thomas Jefferson Enterprise EPM Cloud JourneyAlithya
It’s a story of an interstellar journey where Thomas Jefferson (TJ) unravels the capabilities of Oracle EPM Cloud to benefit their cloud digital transformation across its academic and clinical pillars. TJ has six entities which were on separate platforms ranging from on-premises Oracle EPM systems to elaborate MS Excel models. This made it difficult to execute enterprise-wide planning and performance reporting standards. Planning scenarios for what-ifs, enterprise initiatives, and allocations were not swift nor robust across all businesses. Oracle EPM Cloud has provided a uniform platform with entity, business unit, and department level scalable capabilities, resulting in a robust and repeatable Enterprise Planning and Reporting process.

But here’s the secret: this isn’t just a Financial Close narrative. It’s a common tale across all domains—but can we give them the same fairytale ending? Using Profitability & Costing as a launching pad, explore what it looks like to move other financial processes towards being trustworthy and compliant, not just actuals data. Join us as we look at how EPM Cloud Account Reconciliation can move “outside the close.”

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

6. CHALLENGES IN REPORTING & ANALYTICS
8
The main issues facing our clients:
Difficult to link strategy to real World facts, scenario modeling is
manual and time intensive.
Traditional financial analytics are no longer enough. Rigorous
analysis of customer, market, product, supplier and HR are required
for break through performance.
Common Challenges:
• Too many reports, not enough insight
• Multiple BI tools impact analytical productivity
• Resources focused on the “routine” vs. what if / what should we
do about closing the gaps
• Investment in the “people” aspect (training, etc.) is not a priority

30. DO YOU HAVE A REPORTING STRATEGY?
> Technology & Data
> In which capability do we create the reports? (e.g. Transactional vs. BI vs. EPM )
> What tools do we use to create the reports? (e.g. Excel vs. Dashboards vs. Pixel Perfect Reports)
> What are the data sources of the reports? ( e.g. Financials vs. Custom)
> What is the level of detail I need? ( e.g. Balances, Transaction Details)
> People
> Who defines/owns the reports, and what skills are
required?
> Who produces/develops the reports, and what skills are
required?
> Who migrates the reports, and what skills are required?
> Who secures/distributes the reports, and what skills are
required?
> Who executes/interacts/runs the reports, and what skills
are required?
> Who consumes the reports, and what skills are required?
> Process
> Which business processes are we supporting,
and what are their nature?
> When are the reports run, and where do they fit in the
business process?
> When should we do this, and how should it be delivered?
> How do we govern our reporting environment ?
You know you do if you can answer the questions below
32
31. SO WHERE DO I DO MY MANAGEMENT REPORTING?
> Cloud ERP has Essbase “under the covers” and Smart View – the Tools I need, right?
> Although historically Essbase has become synonymous with “Management Reporting” – it is constrained to Transactional
Reporting within Cloud ERP due to the structure of ERP. Additionally customers need to consider “Thin” vs. “Thick” Ledger
considerations.
> Management Reporting and Analytics require the following capabilities:
> Integration of Multiple Data Sources
▪ Examples: Sales, Claims, Investments
> Forward Looking Views in addition to Historical Views
▪ Persistency
> Calculation Logic/Scenario Modelling Capabilities
▪ Examples: VOBA, Policies in Force, Surrender/Renewal Ratio
> The intended Oracle tools to enable these capabilities are:
> EPM – PBCS/EPBCS – Financial Reports, Smart View, and Dashboards
> OAC – Essbase and BICS – Smart View, Data Visualizer, BI Publisher & Dashboards
> EPRCS – Management Reports
