We strongly believe that Service + Solutions = Maximum Value
Service

consultant’s work, not how many hours they charge.
– Finit has no external owners and Finit partners are involved in every full‐
cycle implementation.
– Finit uses its own employees, not contractors.
Solutions
– Finit consultants are Hyperion product experts who enjoy designing, building
and deploying great solutions, applications and processes.
– Finit works closely with Oracle Hyperion development on product strategy
and beta testing.
– Finit consultants receive 2 weeks of product / functional training a year.
– Finit Answers provides support services on a pay‐as‐you‐use model.
