Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management

We use Hyperion EPM to consolidate forecasting and budgeting information across a 12Bn global organization in the construction vertical. It addresses the data transmission and consolidation issue at a high level and a reduction in the number of spreadsheets we use at its most base level. Accuracy and the sanctity of data are the primary goals, however, workflow and levels of promotion, review, and approvals also factor in.
  • Transmission of forecasting budgeting data
  • Group Consolidations
  • Tracking changes and version controls
  • Flexibility between Excel and Web based entry
  • Stability of excel add-in - called SmartView
  • Better sync between web based and Excel based data review
  • Stock analytical tools available to use
  • Custom reporting build capability
  • Made reporting process mouse clicks vs exhaustive manual process
  • Enables simplified consolidations
  • Allows data transmission through out organization with ease
Oracle has led the charge on the development of true EPM reporting. The development of rudimentary KPIs to much more complex models all can be housed and managed by Hyperion. Integrates with Office through Smartview, which provides flexibility in creating Word documents, board presentation and updating them quickly and easily. Ad hoc reporting is also made easier in excel and it assists in automating repetitive tasks.
Well Suited:
Dispersed organization
High reliance on Excel
Greater need for performance KPIs
Distributed reporting

Less appropriate:
KPIs not as important or worth tracking
Don't need flexibility between cloud and on-premise
