Overall Satisfaction with Oracle EPM Cloud
Currently using Oracle EPM Cloud's ePBCS for financial planning and implementing workforce planning. It is used in Phase 1 - Finance for budget setting, forecasting, and transfers of budgets. In Phase 2 HR, we will be using it to plan our people and have created interfaces for recruitment and to update HCM, in order to create new positions based on the required level of need.
This will allow us to have sight of our vacancies and demands. We are adopting position management in Oracle HCM Cloud, along with jobs, performance, learn module. Will will use this alongside the customer experience cube, to manage recruitment and retention.
We also have Oracle Analytics Cloud. This will help us to decide whether we have the talent in house to fulfill vacancies or if we need to go outside to recruit.

- The tasks lists and workflow work well for managing activity.
- The amount configuration that you can add allows personalisation.
- Give you extra cubes to rebuild the EPBCS ones that don't fit.
- Business rules.
- Ability to create positions for HCM.
- Connectivity to OACS fails, brings down EPM pod.
- Ability to copy cubes between versions of the pods instead of all cubes.
- Come with integrations to the rest of Oracle.
- Secondary dimension sends 6000 emails when the workflow is turned on. This should not happen. Should be able to disable notifications.
- BSO cube fails to return results.
- Forecasting sped up, removal of 3 days from process.
- Longer-term planning is now online.
- Budget transfers can now be traced through the system.
The interactions with other cubes needs to be improved. Availability of more cubes and cell limits would improve functionality in Oracle EPM - EPBCS
