Secrets of an EPM Cloud Solution - How to Deliver Superior Profit Performance Alithya
Oracle OpenWorld 2019
As organizations seek to improve the quality of service and reduce costs through the establishment of shared service centers for both corporate functions and client facing activities, the need for fully allocated P&Ls as a management reporting tool becomes critical to ensure that Divisional and Line-of-Business performance supports the overall corporate performance targets expected by senior management and investors. With most financial systems organized around managing expenses on a "supply side" basis, creating the pivot from "what it is" to "what and who it's for" becomes more challenging. Even if methodologies are agreed upon, providing both service providers and divisional leadership with transparency into the "why" behind P&L charges is a hurdle. For this reason, Oracle Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) Cloud applications such as Oracle Profitability & Cost Management Cloud Service (PCMCS) have been purpose-built to allow business users a mechanism to define initial models, execute them in an automated fashion, and provide transparency into allocated results and intercompany charges, allowing service providers and service consumers to better understand the levers that impact financial results. Attend this session for a case study that walks through the steps required to construct a fully allocated P&L within Oracle PCMCS. Topics covered include:
Designing a data model that enables transparency
Typical fully allocated P&L rule definition – sequencing and drivers
Leading practices in reducing rule maintenance
Self-service model validations and analytics

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.
Case Study: Using EDMCS to Solve Master Data ChallengesAlithya
Enterprise Data Management Cloud Service (EDMCS) is a relatively new but critically important addition to the EPM Cloud product landscape. As clients have discovered the challenges surrounding effective master data management do not go away just by moving to the cloud. If anything, the EPM Cloud transition has only further emphasized the importance of robust management of enterprise master data assets. Come to this session to hear about the practical benefits achieved by an EDMCS implementation project.
This session will briefly highlight the key features and concepts of EDMCS (note, EDMCS really is not “DRM in the cloud!”). Then we will dive into a recent project involving an EDMCS implementation at a large mid-Atlantic health care insurer in support of an enterprise cost management/allocation initiative. Challenges, lessons learned, and benefits achieved will be highlighted, along with a look at the unique mix of products and technologies involved in the solution (PCMCS, Linux, and EPM Automate to name a few). We will also touch on the interesting challenges involving dimensionality, primary and alternate hierarchies, and data mappings as they relate to an EDMCS implementation for PCMCS.

At Oracle OpenWorld last year, Wright Medical shared its first foray into Oracle EPM Cloud with a successful implementation of Account Reconciliation Cloud Service (ARCS). Join us this year to learn about our continued migration to the Oracle EPM Cloud, including the recent deployments of Enterprise Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (EPBCS) and Enterprise Data Management Cloud Service (EDMCS). We’ll discuss the migration from an on-premise Hyperion Planning deployment to a consistent Workforce Planning and Financials model that leverages the out-of-the-box (OOTB) frameworks, and we'll highlight the benefits realized with these features. We'll also outline the challenges and creative solutions to these hurdles. Additionally, learn about the deployment of EDMCS to replace EPMA and manage master data for not only EPBCS, but also our on-premise Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) application. Finally, we’ll discuss our roadmap for Oracle EPM, including the implementation of Strategic Modeling and a migration from HFM to Financial Close and Consolidation Cloud Service (FCCS). This is a "not to be missed session" for anyone considering an upgrade to Oracle EPM Cloud!

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.

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.

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.

Oracle launched in 2019 the Enterprise Licensing model, a bundle that includes by default Profitability and Cost Management. We often pay for services/subscriptions that we never really use, but not because of their lack of usefulness, but rather a lack of knowledge on our part.
This presentation kicks off with an overview of the different types of business problems that can be solved by Profitability and Cost Management, based on real-life implementations, followed by a short demo of how to quickly get up to speed with Profitability and Cost Management and where to start using this service that now comes included with your subscription.
This presentation is ideal for both customers and implementation partners who have not yet embarked on the journey of discovering how dynamic Profitability and Cost Management really is.
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.

Think Outside the Close: Profitability & Costing Reconciliations in EPM Cloud...Alithya
Let me tell you a story. The characters? Spreadsheets, shared drives, emails, and auditors. The conflict? A process in shambles—siloed data in disagreement. The conclusion? The implementation of EPM Cloud Account Reconciliation to save the day!
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.”

Taking Off to Flying Solo: Tracing Wright Medical’s Flight Plan into the CloudAlithya
After the first successful cloud project, many clients are tempted to sit back and relax. But for Wright Medical, “go-live” was just the beginning. In 2018, Wright took the first step with their Account Reconciliation implementation for the US business units. The following year they elevated their Planning and Master Data Management business processes to the cloud. Their journey culminated in a partnerless global rollout of Account Reconciliation—now that’s “flying solo”! Join us as we trace the plan that led to Wright’s successful takeoff into the cloud. We will discuss how they capitalized on the initial implementation investment with Alithya, launched best practices on an international scale, and continued their cloud evolution.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Summary - Project Outcomes

38. Does your company understand the true costs of its products or services?
Are costing models transparent enough? Can you easily trace back the assigned costs to the
activities and line item expenses that drive them?
Do your costing methods operate at the right level of detail?
Are you satisfied that you are allocating shared services (e.g. IT/HR) accurately?
Are people spending too much time maintaining our costing models and other elements of
our costing system?
Can people in your company quickly test how changes to commodity, input costs, lower or
higher volumes will affect our profitability?
Are you getting answers from our costing systems fast enough to be actionable? Would
reducing this process time improve our competitiveness or profitability?
Is all of the data that you need to understand true costs available in a single ERP system? If
not, what are the initial and ongoing costs of integrating that data into your ERP system?
