Orchestra Networks presentation at the UK Oracle User Group EPM & Hyperion conference on October 23, 2012. A streamlined approach to the management and governance of shared dimensions and hierarchies - the metadata for the Hyperion EPM Suite.
In this case study, hear how The United Technologies Corporation, a globally distributed, Fortune 500 company manages their Oracle Hyperion EPM metadata using Orchestra Networks’ cost-effective, Oracle DRM alternative: EBX5. Also learn how UTC is creating much more value from their Oracle EPM applications by sharing dimensions (such as entities) with their entire finance application ecosystem. The goal, consistency across all financial applications and hierarchies for controls, tax, tax provision and more. The session will also cover practical issues: data exchange with HFM, governance, workflow and hierarchy management.
Getting the Most out of EPMA: HFM Managing Metadata with EPMAfinitsolutions
Whether you previously used Hyperion Enterprise or managed a classic HFM application, moving to EPMA provides many benefits (but also has unique tricks you should know about!). In this webinar, we will review many of the enhancements that EPMA can bring to metadata management, such as:
• Shared metadata among different products or HFM applications within the same environment
• Comparisons of changes between what is loaded and what you are about to load
• Renaming a base member without losing previously-loaded data
• Enhanced features to identify and exclude orphan members
• Audit trails of metadata changes (“Who changed THAT attribute?” “Um, YOU did!”)
o Some do not always see this as a good thing, but auditors like it…
Of course, there are also a few areas we’ll cover to help you understand some limitations with EPMA and some possible workarounds to certain issues, including:
• Needing to be online to work within the web-based tool
• Must view validation error notifications one at a time on web compared to in a single text file
• Some additional complexity due to more features being available to use
Managing metadata with EPMA is what is being taught in Oracle’s HFM Administration training classes, and we hope that after attending this webinar, you will also discover some benefits to using EPMA with your current or future applications.

Do you still love the classic(s)? It might be time to consider taking a take a leap to the future. Starting with Oracle EPM version 11.1.2.2 all metadata must be managed with EPMA so you will probably end up there. Join us this month to see and hear what new features EPMA has to offer along with a comparison of how things are done in EPMA versus Classic. Since many clients may not be upgrading right away, we will review the pros and cons to help you decide which is more suitable for you today. We will also show the steps needed when you decide to transform your classic application to EPMA as well as how to will be migrate or sync metadata across environments once you have moved to EPMA.
During this webinar we will go through the following:
• A brief Introduction to EPMA Metadata Management
• Comparison of Classic Metadata management and EPMA
• Pros and Cons of each tool
• What does it take to migrate from Classic to EPMA
• Synchronizing Metadata using LCM

OAUG Collaborate 2015: Oracle Financial Close SuiteAlithya
Presentation by Tammy Norton of Edgewater Ranzal (www.ranzal.com) at OAUG Collaborate 2015, on the robust capabilities of the Oracle Financial Close Suite. The suite includes Hyperion Financial Management (HFM), Financial Close Management (FCM), Hyperion Tax Provisioning (HTP), and Financial Data Management Enterprise Edition (FDMEE).
Finit solutions getting the most out of hfm - intercompany matching and eli...finitsolutions
If you are using HFM for consolidations, then you already know that it is a powerful and complex tool that can vastly improve the analysis and reporting capabilities in your monthly consolidation process. However, one element of HFM that companies often do not use to its full potential is the intercompany matching and elimination functionality. In many cases, companies simply have not had the opportunity to develop a full understanding of all the intercompany features, and have therefore opted not to use them.
In this webinar, you will learn about the metadata and security features that can enable you to take full advantage of HFM’s intercompany matching and elimination functionality. We will discuss how the intercompany dimension, the value dimension, and the account and entity dimensions interact to perform intercompany matching and eliminations at the appropriate levels within your entity structures. You will learn how to analyze intercompany eliminations using data grids, BI+ Financial Reporting, and system intercompany matching reports.
By fully utilizing HFM’s intercompany features, you will not only make your consolidation process much more efficient, but will also provide valuable, detailed intercompany information to both end-users and management. The availability of that intercompany detail can drive critical management decisions and can greatly increase the value of your HFM applications within your organization.
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!
We delivered a side-by-side review of FCCS and HFM. If you’re a customer of Hyperion Enterprise, HFM, or non-Oracle financial reporting packages evaluating alternative solutions, you will gain a much deeper understanding of Oracle’s strategy in the consolidation and close domain.
Discussion included:
-Functional and technical comparison of FCCS and HFM (Dimensions, Rules, Reporting, etc.)
-Migration considerations/best practices
-Product direction from Oracle

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.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a system that integrates all of these functions into a single system, designed to serve the needs of each different department within the enterprise. ERP is more of a methodology than a piece of software, although it does incorporate several software applications, brought together under a single, integrated interface.
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems integrate primary business applications; all the applications in an ERP suite share a common set of data that is stored in a central database. A typical ERP system provides applications for accounting and controlling, production and materials management, quality management, plant maintenance, sales and distribution, human resources, and project management.

Sabre is a technology solutions provider to the global travel and tourism industry, encompassing four business units: Sabre Airlines Solutions, Sabre Travel Network, Sabre Hospitality Solutions and Travelocity. Sabre provides software to travel agencies, corporations, travelers, airlines, hotels, rental car, rail, cruise and tour operator companies. Divisions within each of these groups also service the business or corporate travel market. Sabre grew out of American Airlines and was spun off with an IPO in 2000 and currently employs approximately 10,000 people in 60 countries. In addition to managing the business processes and reporting across the four divisions, the IT group has been tasked to provide an agile architecture to accommodate M&A opportunities in the hospitality industry. Clearly, one of the biggest opportunities for leverage of corporate information assets is travel-related “public” and “private” reference data. Critical to the launch of such a program is to answer the key question “Why after all this time do we need RDM?” This session will provide insights and best practices concerning the establishment of an enterprise RDM program in a large global enterprise by discussing topics such as:
– Establishing the business value of an enterprise RDM program (“Hello, Houston … we have a problem”)
– Overcoming the cultural & territorial obstacles by selling change as a compelling argument for RDM (“Shift Happens”)
– Futureproofing the enterprise RDM program solution, outcome & direction (“What we didn’t think about”)

Acolyance (€522M+revenues) is a leading French agriculture and wine cooperative serving a network of 3,500 agriculture members and 7,000 wine producers. Management is very focused on innovation and is preparing a large-scale transformation for 2014 wherein ERP will be deployed to support most of business processes (finance, accounting, harvest, retailing, procurement, sales, …). Unlike traditional viewpoints with ERP systems as the solution to manage all master data within their perimeter because they were intended to be *the* company core system, Acolyance has decided to make its master data program a prerequisite of its ERP implementation. By having an MDM approach synchronized with the ERP strategy, Acolyance is convinced that ERP will be able to concentrate on its core business processes and to deliver quicker and better. Additionally, MDM enlarges the ERP scope by facilitating collaboration with trading partners. In this session, topics to be discussed include:
- Applying MDM as a key approach to secure ERP implementation projects
- Leveraging MDM to fill in functional weaknesses of ERP systems
- Using MDM to facilitate the update cycle of master data that cannot be updated directly in production systems without ERP customization
