Turning your Excel Business Process Workflows into an Automated Business Inte...OAUGNJ
Many organizations have evolved key internal business processes built on top of Microsoft Excel. These cross-functional workflows involve several organizational units responsible for collecting business system transactions, modifying this raw data, consolidating, transforming, pivoting and preparing data into a published set of Reports & Graphs – all in MS Excel. Such workflows are a burden to organizations – not repeatable, costly, time-consuming, inflexible and hard to scale, and evolve to become more complex over time. Business critical processes such as financial analysis, operational analysis and revenue analysis are often supported this way. Attempting to replace such systems can be quite daunting and a barrier to replace. The goal of this session is to present an easy to understand methodology and use cases to demonstrate how to move from an operational workflow in Excel to truly automated Business Intelligence.

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.

Planning
Streamline Enterprise-wide Planning and Budgeting Process
Enterprise alignment is challenging to achieve in financial plans due to disconnect
between the office of finance and sales and operational business units. Financial
planning and forecasting often ends up being a resource and time consuming process
of gathering information spread across a multitude of disconnected spreadsheets or
point solutions used by the office of finance and various sales and operational business
units.
Oracle Hyperion Planning provides the required agility to the enterprise planning
process by quickly aligning financial plans, models and forecasts across cost centers
and lines of business thus enabling decisions to be made at a speed which business
demands. The impact of changes to key plan drivers and assumptions can be
evaluated instantaneously, and revisions made available immediately to all stakeholders
without the reliability risks from manual interventions. Oracle Hyperion Planning has built
in time intelligence and allocation logic and comes with a powerful calculation engine
that can be used to express a range of business requirements, from simple arithmetic
formulae to complex allocations. Oracle Hyperion Planning offers guided task flows and
supports both bottom-up and top-down agile planning processes. Its robust workflow
capabilities support efficient review and approval processes.

Companies today are faced with a rapidly changing business environment. Constantly
changing market dynamics can bring in demand, supply and price fluctuations that
require decisions based on alternate outcomes. A key need to make informed decisions
in such a market is to be able to understand the financial impact of key business drivers
and revise forecasts reliably and quickly.

specified intersection of key plan dimensions. Approval paths can be altered based on
data changes to provide true matrix approval. When a planner “promotes” a plan for
approval, the system can automatically identify the next approver. All of the above
processes can also be performed in conjunction with what-if analysis and scenario
testing that allows users to compare and contrast multiple scenarios prior to promoting
the selected scenario for approval up the management chain.

snappy review and approval processes with a new mobile application.
Large Deployments with Scalable Architecture at Low Cost of
Ownership
Oracle Hyperion Planning is built to scale with the organization’s growth. It is based on
hybrid architecture, which makes optimal use of relational and MOLAP technologies to
facilitate a variety of planning needs including annotations and commentary which are
essential for variance analysis. The scalable architecture enables organizations to start
with an initially small deployment before extending it out to hundreds or thousands of
concurrent users. The architecture allows for flexible data entry, analysis, and frequent
real-time updates from anywhere, in a safe and secure environment.
Moreover, Oracle Hyperion Planning provides collaborative planning processes and
dependable, centralized user and data management, significantly reducing maintenance
and distribution costs. Oracle Hyperion Planning interoperates with accepted user
management systems to help ensure maintenance and security consistency.

imported and exported or for backups using flat files or using out of box mapping
features. Users can drill back from their planning data into the details in their source
systems. Deployments can be easily categorized as development, test and production
environments with easy movement of data models across these environments for quick
and fast deployments.
Lay the Foundation for Enterprise Business Planning
Oracle Hyperion Planning is the center piece of Oracle’s broader solution for Enterprise
Business Planning. The Enterprise Business Planning process spans strategic planning,
budgeting and forecasting, workforce planning, capital asset planning, project financial
planning and other elements of operational planning that have a significant impact on
financial performance. It also involves an ongoing evaluation of business costs and
profitability analysis and uses those insights to drive change in business plans. In
addition, Enterprise Business Planning can leverage predictive analysis and simulation
techniques to constantly evaluate and quantify risk and uncertainty, inherent to all of
these plans, and takes actions to mitigate those risks as appropriate.
