CPI Card Group completed a cloud migration from its on-premise Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) system to Oracle's Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud Service (FCCS). The migration timeline involved defining requirements, restructuring entity dimensions, migrating metadata, loading and validating data, and user acceptance testing over a period of 6 months before going live on the new FCCS system in February. Perficient assisted with the migration due to their expertise in HFM, FCCS and Oracle applications as well as their ability to build strong working relationships and provide knowledge transfer. The migration addressed challenges with the on-premise system such as limited user knowledge, lack of functionality for roll forwards and cash flow, and manual

Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud Service (FCCS) mixes best practices with customization to streamline and enhance the close and consolidation process. This configurable product leverages out-of-the-box content which gives companies the framework needed to deploy an easy-to-use, yet sophisticated, close solution. It requires no infrastructure investments, offers flexible deployment options, and provides fast time-to-value.
In this presentation, we explore the full range of capabilities of this solution, including the orchestration of the close process, supplemental data collection, ease of administration, and more. Find out how FCCS can be used to address the complexities that are encountered with consolidations, such as foreign currency translation, intercompany eliminations, and ownership requirements. We touch on additional features that are improved in the cloud such as process automation, administration, and supplemental data collection. Interact and ask questions to learn more about this world-class solution for close and consolidation applications and decide if it's time for you to make the move to the Cloud!
Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud Service (FCCS) is the latest evolution of Oracle’s market-leading Financial Close Suite. What makes it different than Hyperion Financial Management (HFM)? A lot!

FDMEE versus Cloud Data Management - The Real StoryJoseph Alaimo Jr
Are you considering or have you recently purchased an Oracle EPM Cloud Service? If so, you've likely heard about Cloud Data Management and how it can satisfy all of your data and master data needs. Sounds like Nirvana, right? Not so fast.
This presentation explores the capabilities of Cloud Data Management and its supporting technologies as well as its on-premises counterpart, FDMEE. It weighs the pros and cons of each option, including software and hardware costs, functionality, and sustainability.
In this session you will learn how you can use EPRCS to perform a wide range of reporting—everything from narrative reporting to fully formatted reports to regulatory filings. The full range of reporting features, as well as the workflow aspects, will be covered as part of the discussion.
In this session you will learn how you can use the supplemental data features within FCCS to gather and report on data in a level of detail greater than what you have in a typical multi-dimensional model. The full range of features, including data input, workflow, integration, and reporting will covered.
Finit solutions getting the most out of hfm - web data forms tips and tricksfinitsolutions
One of the great features in HFM is the ability to create web data forms in which users can enter data directly, without the need for account mappings, journals, or Smart View sheets. These web data forms can be designed in ways that provide very tight security and control over the data that users can enter into HFM. At the same time, the web data forms can be formatted to be very user-friendly and intuitive, so that users find the process simple and easy to follow.
On September 15, you will learn about the pros and cons of using HFM web data forms versus other methods of getting data into HFM, such as data loads, journals, Smart View, and data grids. We will talk about the considerations for each method and why web data forms may or may not be the right choice for various types of data. We will also discuss ways in which data entered via web data forms can be ‘protected’ during iterative trial balance data loads, so that the data entered via web data forms is not erased when loading a trial balance data file in ‘Replace’ mode.
During this webinar, you will also learn some of the more advanced design, formatting, and functions for web data forms, including:
SCalcs
Dimension / member overrides
Colors / fonts / general formatting
Dynamic row expansion
Exporting / importing from Excel
Opening web data forms in Smart View

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.
