Victaulic – OneStream XF Improving the Monthly Close End-to End at Victaulic

Key requirements included improving data quality, simplifying the monthly close process, and gaining more consistent and accessible reporting for Finance and operations managers.

Printpack Replaces Hyperion, Eliminates Risk and Reduces Costs with OneStream XF Cloud

Printpack had been using Oracle Hyperion Planning and Essbase for budgeting and management reporting and was handling financial consolidation and reporting via Excel spreadsheets. The design of these systems carried risks and points of failure with data having to be moved between systems.  In addition, there were multiple points of maintenance for meta data.  

The impact of this was the risk of producing inaccurate data and spending too much time on system administration.  In addition, it took the Finance team too long to produce monthly financial statements, and it was difficult to accommodate change requests from management.
