The document discusses accelerating EPM deployment with planning in the cloud. It notes that today's planning environment makes accurate forecasting challenging. Most organizations rely heavily on spreadsheets for planning, which is inadequate for enterprise processes. Oracle's new Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service provides their proven Hyperion Planning software in a cloud-based subscription model. This lowers barriers to adoption by removing the need for large upfront investments and IT resources. The cloud model allows for faster deployment, lower costs, and increased flexibility compared to traditional on-premises solutions.

Data-Driven Software Engineering for Agile TeamsTechWell
Remember the old days when software engineering teams used to tune software until it passed quality gates, gave golden bits to marketing, and finally threw a big release party? The world was simple, and writing code that worked according to a specification was enough to be a star developer. Viktor Veis says that world has changed. Software now often dials back home to record information about its usage and health. This telemetry flows back to engineering teams who are accountable for making sense out of this data. This is a fundamental shift in the software engineer role. Teams who can leverage data-driven engineering will delight customers by learning more about customers than they know about themselves. Teams who ignore data-driven engineering will continue based on assumptions and eventually lose competitive nerve. Join Viktor to learn how to start data-driven engineering today. Discover a practical approach that sometimes deviates from classical data science but is easy to learn and apply.
Digital Enterprise Journal identified 20 technology vendors that are providing innovative solutions for extracting business context from IT monitoring data and enabling multiple non-IT job roles to make better informed decisions. It should be noted that the primary purpose of the majority of these solutions is still IT performance monitoring, but their ability to provide business insights make them more valuable for end-user organizations, especially those that are looking to become digital businesses.
The study is based on insights from more than 800 organizations and its key goals are to: 1) identify a class of top performing organizations (TPOs - top 20% of the survey based on their performance in managing engineering teams); 2) analyze key capabilities that are having the strongest impact on their TPO status: 3) highlight business benefits of being a part of the top performing class.

Few decades ago, Managers relied on their instincts to take business decisions. They could afford to make mistakes and learn from it. Today, the scope for learning from mistakes is very minimal. Instincts should be backed by data to minimise mistakes.
Technological advancements, in addition to opening new channels of communication with customers, have also enabled organizations to collect vital information about their businesses with customers. But, have these organizations fully leveraged this data?
Today, Organizations make use of data for business decisions, but the data is not close enough to the customer to reap maximum benefit. In many cases, importance is not given to the granularity of data. The probability of “customer centric” decisions being right could be high, if the top management makes better use of the end user customer data (such as point of sale data, voice of customer, social media buzz etc.) to devise business strategies.

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.

1. Accelerating
EPM Deployment
With Planning in the Cloud
SUMMARY
TODAY’S ENTERPRISE PLANNING CHALLENGES
The planning environment has
changed considerably for most
organizations in today’s global
economy.
Global recession, erratic growth and
recovery, and market volatility all make
accurate planning and forecasting
a challenging process. In fact, a 2010
survey by CFO Research Services
revealed that 40 percent of CFOs can
only accurately forecast one quarter
into the future (Figure 1).
DROWNING IN SPREADSHEETS
In today’s challenging planning environment, reliance on spreadsheets
is woefully inadequate and fraught with peril. Packaged planning and
forecasting solutions can help alleviate these difficulties, yet may remain
out of reach for many organizations that do not have adequate IT
resources or capital budgets to justify the investment.
New cloud-based solutions, such as Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud
Service, Oracle’s first enterprise performance management (EPM) solution
for the cloud, opens up opportunities for organizations of all sizes to streamline
planning and forecasting, accelerate deployment, and reduce costs.

Figure 1: Challenges in Forecasting
2. To make matters worse, a recent Oracle survey
on planning and forecasting revealed that
93 percent of finance managers globally are
drowning in spreadsheets. This was especially
true in the area of budgeting, planning, and
forecasting, with 75 percent of respondents
indicating they used spreadsheets in this
area (Figure 2). While spreadsheets are easy
to use and are the preferred tool of finance
professionals, they are not well suited for
enterprisewide processes like planning.
“The addition of Oracle
Planning and Budgeting
Cloud Service to
Oracle’s cloud portfolio
offers us more choice
in deployment. We
found Oracle Planning
and Budgeting Cloud
Service particularly
easy to use with good
response times and
all the functionality
that we expect from a
sophisticated planning
application.”

Figure 2: Finance Managers Drowning in Spreadsheets1
When organizations are overly reliant on spreadsheets to support planning
activities, they face challenges around time, quality, flexibility, and cost.
Long planning cycles result in missed
opportunities and obsolete plans.
Data integrity and quality issues
show up in the form of errors in
Excel spreadsheets, version control
problems, and lack of audit trails.
Disconnected processes create a
lack of flexibility and responsiveness
to changes. And finally, too much
time spent gathering information and
not enough time to analyze it results
in costly waste of resources with
questionable benefits.
Yet, despite these challenges
with current tools, the adoption
of packaged enterprise
performance management
software is still not widespread.
This is evidenced by relatively
low EPM penetration rates
among ERP install base
customers.

1. Performance Management: An Incomplete Picture. Study carried out by Dynamic Markets for Oracle Corporation, April 2011
3. A SHIFT TOWARD THE CLOUD
New technologies like cloud make it easier to get off of spreadsheets and adopt best practices,
such as rolling forecasts and driving the planning process beyond finance to the broader
community of line managers.
Gaining the input and intelligence
of line of business managers
becomes much more feasible with
a cloud-based model that can be easily
and flexibly rolled out across the
organization.
Whereas a couple of years ago,
we still saw reluctance in the Finance
department around adopting cloud
applications, largely driven by security
and data confidentiality concerns,
this is changing rapidly.
In conversations with CFOs, some of the reasons they cite in favor of
cloud-based finance systems include the resource allocation flexibility that
comes with avoiding large upfront investments, the ability to avoid fixed capital
investments during periods of corporate or economic uncertainty, and timely
access to the latest software capabilities.
The fact that traditionally risk-averse CFOs are open to moving their mission-
critical finance systems into the cloud should be a clear indication to all
companies that cloud services are fast becoming the go-to strategy for finance
executives looking to access the latest technologies quickly and cost-effectively
to support their corporate objectives.

Figure 3: Movement Toward EPM in the Cloud3
A 2013 Gartner Financial Executives International (FEI) CFO Technology Study
showed an increasing interest in the SaaS model, where only 16 percent (up
from 9 percent in 2012) of firms said that they would never imagine half of their
enterprise transactions being delivered by SaaS.
Instead, during the next four or more years, 84 percent of CFOs (up from 53
percent in 2012) said they believe that half of their transactions will be delivered
through SaaS. It appears that 34 percent in 2012 have made a SaaS directional
decision, as there were no “don’t know” responses in 20132
. As CFOs shift
their attitudes toward cloud, we are also seeing the SaaS model for EPM
applications gaining traction. In the 2013 Gartner FEI study, budgeting,
consolidations, and reporting selections showed a continued movement to
cloud where almost one in five companies sees themselves using SaaS (Figure 3).

4. LOWERING THE EPM ADOPTION BARRIER
As we see our customers’ attitudes and requirements shifting toward
cloud, we want to meet those changing needs. Thus, Oracle is making
its market-leading Oracle Hyperion Planning solution available in the
cloud on a subscription basis with a new offering called Oracle Planning
and Budgeting Cloud Service.
By way of background, Oracle
Hyperion Planning is a market-leading
application that accelerates planning,
budgeting, and forecasting. It’s built
to leverage the powerful Oracle
Essbase calculation and business
rules engine, and includes a web or
Excel interface, robust workflow and
process management, and prebuilt
functionality to address the most
complex planning and budgeting
requirements and best practices
in this area. Oracle Hyperion Planning
supports driver-based planning to help
connect operational assumptions
to financial outcomes, and it supports
a hierarchical planning process that
encompasses both corporate finance
and the lines of business within
an enterprise.
Oracle Planning and Budgeting
Cloud Service removes the barriers
to adoption of on-premises applications
and makes it much easier for
businesses of any size to deploy
a world-class planning and budgeting
solution in a matter of weeks.
Most Hyperion EPM customers
have deployed the applications
on-premises. And over the past five
years, Hyperion EPM applications
have been available as a hosted
solution through Oracle Managed
Cloud Services (formerly called Oracle
On Demand) or many of our hosting
partners around the world.
ORACLE HYPERION PLANNING IN THE CLOUD
“The pre-delivered
training in Oracle
Planning and Budgeting
Cloud Service is a
great value-add to the
customer. This training
helps to accelerate
deployment by
facilitating onboarding,
education, and buy-in
for the product when
rolled out.”
—Maria Hugo,
Enterprise Systems Manager,
Salmat
But now we are moving our EPM applications into Oracle Cloud and making
them available as SaaS-based solutions. Moving to cloud-based applications
has the potential to remove the adoption barriers for many organizations that
didn’t have the IT resources or budget for packaged software applications
in the past.
4
5. Oracle Hyperion Planning has seen rapid
adoption over the past 10 years, with more
than 3,700 organizations having deployed the
solution. And many of these deployments have
become quite large, many with more than 1,000
users and a few with more than 5,000 users.
The results that our customers have achieved with Oracle Hyperion Planning
have been impressive. Most often cited is the ability to reduce budgeting
and forecasting cycle time (Figure 4).
Customers have also reduced reliance on spreadsheets and improved the
accuracy of their forecasts. And in many cases, customers have justified
the investment based on the potential to reduce the amount of FTEs
dedicated to the budgeting and forecasting process. This allows finance
resources to be shifted to more value-added activities and away from
the drudgery of collecting and consolidating spreadsheets.
All the infrastructure, reporting,
migration, and data integration
components of Oracle Hyperion
Planning are included.
Specific enhancements for the
cloud have been added to accelerate
deployment and usage and to simplify
and minimize administration and
maintenance. Rapid start kits, intuitive
application creation wizards, run-time
diagnostics, and migration tools allow
organizations to deploy robust financial
applications in weeks, accelerating
time to value.
Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud
Service includes integration capabilities
that enable data load from legacy
or third-party applications to Oracle
Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service
on Oracle Cloud, allowing you
to import high volumes of data.
Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud

6. THE MOST COMPLETE, MODERN, FLEXIBLE,
AND SECURE ENTERPRISE CLOUD
BUILT ON ORACLE CLOUD
Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service is built upon the robust
Oracle Cloud, and, as pointed out above, integrates with your other
on-premises and cloud applications.
Not all clouds are created equal, and one size does not necessarily fit all.
Unfortunately, many organizations are finding out the hard way that the value
of lower up-front costs is often overshadowed by the inherent problems with
most first-generation and/or point solution cloud applications. Customers who
entrust their business to multiple niche cloud providers are not realizing the
full promise of the cloud in terms of functionality, control, and flexibility.
In fact, a recent survey showed that operational silos are often preventing
organizations from realizing the promise of improved business performance
from cloud applications.
In the survey, more than half of respondents (54 percent) say their
department has experienced staff downtime in the last six months
due to cloud integration problems.
In fact, departments not even using
cloud apps have been affected by
their colleagues who are.
More than half of businesses
(54 percent) have suffered from
missed deadlines and three-quarters
of respondents (75 percent) have
had their ability to innovate impaired
by poor integration of their cloud
applications, which has left
applications isolated from the
rest of their business functions4

Oracle delivers a full suite of integrated, enterprise-grade applications
services. By choosing Oracle Cloud, businesses can avoid the fragmented
data and business processes that can result from using multiple, siloed
clouds from different vendors.
Oracle has invested many years
and billions of dollars in R&D and
strategic acquisitions to offer the
most comprehensive, modern, flexible,
and secure cloud on the planet.
Companies of all sizes rely on
Oracle’s broad suite of applications
and enterprise-grade platform,
all of which offer social, mobile,
and business intelligence capabilities.
Our goal is to provide the most flexible deployment options to our
customers. That can include on-premises deployments, pure cloud-based
deployment, or a hybrid approach where development is done in the
cloud, then testing and production deployment is on-premises.
Many companies are assessing cloud
options in parallel with traditional
upgrades of on-premises solutions.
But they are wary of the integration
issues between cloud and on-premises
solutions and do not want to be locked
into a particular approach, say, a niche
vendor that can only offer deployment
in the cloud with no way back.
For many, the flexibility of deployment
holds the key to the way forward;
that is, the ability to adopt public,
private, and hybrid clouds as desired
and to alter the mix when business
circumstances dictate. But very few
software vendors can hope to offer
this range of choice and even fewer
can leverage their own hardware
and database technology to optimize
performance.
Oracle has been offering applications in the cloud
for more than 13 years and is one of the few vendors
that can comprehensively support the disparate needs
of small, medium, and large multinational organizations
in the cloud with flexible, modern, and secure applications.

EPM IN THE CLOUD
For organizations who own or are considering Oracle Hyperion Planning,
there are a number of options to take advantage of the new cloud offering.
For new applications, customers can develop and deploy in the cloud,
or develop in the cloud and then deploy on-premises.
Existing Oracle Hyperion Planning customers may wish to support new
divisions or subsidiaries that want their own Oracle Hyperion Planning
application. They may also wish to move their existing applications to the
cloud, such as upgrading from an earlier Hyperion release. And, as described
above, customers always have the option to move back on-premises if needed
or as business needs change.
As our customers’ attitudes shift
toward leveraging the cloud for
even their finance functions, Oracle
is moving to provide more flexibility
and choice in deployment options.
Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud
Service is the first of Oracle EPM
applications to be offered in the cloud.
In the future, you will see Oracle
offering additional EPM applications
in the cloud, providing fast time
to value, simplicity of configuration,
and prebuilt content for deeper
integration and easy extensibility.
