Hyperion Planning

Hyperion Planning is the premier application when consolidating budgeting and financial reporting with analytics. Hyperion Planning utilizes a best-in-class workflow along with web-based input forms to guide users through the input and evaluation of their budget submissions.

What-if scenarios are calculated in “real-time” when forms are saved so users immediately see the impact of changes to the input drivers. Elements for funding and expenses are broken down according to the most logical steps but consolidated by the system automatically for pre-submission and post-submission evaluations, as well as approvals. All data is stored in Essbase and combined with actuals where the system calculates variance automatically.

A CDS Solution in Hyperion Planning will help your organization package your financials with analytics to produce an ‘oracle’ for future insight.
