Case study

Our client, a global consumer banking group, chose to partner with us to migrate their extensive Essbase estate of more than 20 applications to Oracle EPM Cloud Freeform Planning.

Through that transformation we were able to:

  • Eliminate hardware and software ownership and maintenance
  • Provide constant access to the latest features
  • Deliver less downtime and fewer outages
  • Reduce security headaches with less time spent on audit and compliance tasks
  • Give access to the full suite of EPM Cloud business processes
  • Build in AI features for increased productivity, insight and anomaly detection

This transformation delivered meaningful competitive advantages by giving the business access to the latest technology, while freeing teams from ongoing technical challenges so they could focus on driving value and innovation.

“I often see organizations who have been sold the big transformation of moving to EPM, but they haven’t realised the benefits. We’re happy to step in and solve the lower value changes, which drive big benefits for our customers”.
