Our Financial Services client migrated their Oracle Hyperion Planning (Planning) application to Oracle’s Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS) in just under 8 weeks.  Our Client found PBCS to be their best path forward for the following reasons:

- **No infrastructure cost –** Cloud-based tool hosted on Oracle environment, eliminating need for internal infrastructure cost and management of application
- **Future product update “push” –** Product updates on a recurring schedule are pushed into your application; full product upgrades are not needed to obtain the latest, tested features
- **Cloud platform advantages –** Oracle releases its latest updates and features on their Cloud platform first, resulting in bug fixes and enhancements being realized sooner.

Some technical enhancements of our client’s PBCS redesign included:

- **Application Redesign –** 
    - Removing a dimension that was no longer used from one of three application plan types  
    - Moving from detailed employee level planning to departmental level planning to achieve greater consistency across all groups
- **Data Integration** – 
    - **Inbound** - All mappings for our client were updated into the new data integration process using PBCS’ Data Management
    - **Outbound** – Finit’s team created a process to continue existing data exports and integrate these into our clients’ external system
- **Automation & Backups** – MaxL scripting was converted into the new EPM Automate for PBCS.
- **Security** – All users of PBCS were setup as native users by using OIM (Oracle Identity Management)

Finit’s dedication to providing our client an UNMATCHED EXPERIENCE led to a great success for all involved.
