Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management (EPM)

CDS – EPM Implementation

Implementing or enhancing an Enterprise Performance Management system can be confusing and overwhelming for even the most established companies. Focusing on core business drivers and using the latest tools is key to meeting expectations in today’s competitive marketplace – where to start is the real question.

Count on CDS to makes sense of it all, define what’s going on and help you design a strategy that allows you to measure what matters to your business.  Every business is different – there is no standard set of performance indicators that fit all organizations.  We’ll help you determine what you need to track, so you collect data that is pertinent to your process and create trends that help you plan.

EPM Strategy and Assessment Process

Our Enterprise Performance Assessment helps our clients make improvements to their business process. Oracle EPM solutions utilize state of the art technology, yet are built to be owned and maintained by the enterprise’s finance team. CDS understands where process change is needed and how adopting new technology helps.

From start to finish, our EPM approach covers each area in detail. Assessment steps of our clients’ EPM process include:

• Review existing process and systems
• Educate on the Oracle Hyperion EPM solutions available

CDS can help your organization dramatically shorten the consolidation, close and reporting cycle with an EPM solution implementation.Our user-friendly approach culminates in success through quick implementation that utilizes pre-packaged tools –a feature which makes Oracle the market leader in EPM solutions.

Hyperion Financial Management

The financial close can be a burdensome and time consuming process hampered by manual consolidation of spreadsheets or IT intensive consolidation of ledgers. Regulatory compliance further complicates the process requiring multiple versions of financial reports. Cycle times, resource requirements and compliance costs can only be reduced as efficiency and accuracy increase – something CDS can help you achieve.

CDS leverages the inherent power of the Hyperion Financial Management platform and delivers a solution custom-fit for your financial team that streamlines their operations.  We have experience and knowledge in Hyperion technology and how your finance group works, so we can identify best-fit components.

The Hyperion Financial Management platform features financial controls, workflow and best-practices built-in to support:

Oracle Hyperion Financial Management reduces consolidation and reporting cycles by eliminating redundant data entry and manual checks:

• With Hyperion Financial Management, finance organizations spend less time crunching numbers and more time as a strategic partner to the business.
• HFM automates and improves the timing and efficiency of the month end close, including consolidation and foreign currency translation.
• Its structure integrates easily not only with other Hyperion products but also with your existing infrastructure.
• While HFM is a web software application, it also has an add-in with Microsoft Office (called Smart View) which allows users to forecast or budget in Microsoft Excel, an environment comfortable to most finance users.

Financial Management Implementation

Through an HFM implementation, CDS can help your organization dramatically reduce its consolidation, closing and reporting cycles.Our consultants combine extensive Oracle Hyperion implementation experience with real world accounting and finance backgrounds to provide the best solution to your consolidation and reporting process.

Our approach utilizes pre-built, customizable templates (models, forms, reports and business logic) reducing development cycles and project cost. After a rapid implementation process, your organization will have a new enterprise financial management process and system that reduces time spent on the close and quickly produces meaningful results to chief decision makers in your business.

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 evaluation and post-submission evaluation and approval.  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.

Long-Range Planning

Strategic long-range plans define the future for high-performance organizations.  CDS specializes in the development and integration of strategic and long-range plans.  The key to having effective strategic and enduring plans includes:

Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management

CDScan help your organization accelerate the financial close process, reduce annual audit fees, eliminate data bottlenecks, and improve the productivity of your professional financial staff with our Oracle Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management consulting services.

What We Offer:

• Mapping table triangulations
• AutomatedProcessing
• Multi-Period Processing
• Source System Direct Connections
• Data Warehouse Integration
• Data Protection
• Advanced Reports
• Collection of HR Data
• Integration into HFM, Enterprise, Planning, Essbase, data warehouses, tax software tools, and various other target systems

Mapping table triangulations:

When implementing a new consolidation system, clients are faced with the challenge of creating new maps from source systems for use in new HFM or Hyperion Enterprise accounts and dimensions. This can be an extremely complicated and time-consuming process; however, CDS’s FDM Triangulation service can greatly reduce the complexity and effort involved in map conversion. FDM Triangulation involves the following steps:

• CDS first works with the client to develop a map from the original consolidation system to the new consolidation system. For example, a client who is upgrading from Hyperion Enterprise to HFM would develop a map from the Hyperion Enterprise accounts to the HFM accounts and custom members.
• CDS collects the original maps that are already in place to map from the source systems into the new consolidation. In our example, this would be the source system to Hyperion Enterprise accounts, and these might be stored in Ledgerlink, FDM, or some other data mapping tool.
• CDS uses FDM Triangulation to convert the original source system maps into maps for the new consolidation system. In our example, the source system to Hyperion Enterprise maps would be triangulated against the Hyperion Enterprise to HFM map, resulting in source system to HFM maps for all data submission sites.
• CDS’s clients use FDM Triangulation to quickly produce new mapping tables for all sites, with minimal effort. This dramatically reduces implementation time and effort needed from end users during the project.

Automated Processing

CDS helps companies create truly automated processing by leveraging the batch load process in FDM. Automated processing eliminates manual data loading steps, thus providing dramatic time and cost savings for any company. Automated processing can be set up to:

• Import data into FDM, validate and export the data to its final target system with no manual intervention required.
• Automate the mapping process, so that unmapped accounts automatically map to a suspense account.
• Automatically generate emails to alert corporate finance and IT of any process deviations.
• Run a batch process to log all processes, track any errors and report all finalized files that have completed the batch process.

By automating manual processes, CDS tightens controls and shortens data processing times for numerous clients using lights out processing in FDM.

Multi-Period Processing

CDS helps clients employthe multi-load function in FDM to reduce processing time. This functionality supports loading up totwelvedata periods froma singlefile. CDS can help you implement a multi-load solution to meet your needs:

CDS clients use multi-load to accelerate the process of loading large, multi-period files, especially in cases where the forecast and budget must be loaded frequently and in multiple iterations.

Source Systems Direct Connections

Companies are increasingly requesting the ability to query source systems directly to obtain datain place ofuploading flat file extractionsinto target systems. CDS has helped many companies develop integration scripts that directly query general ledger systems, staging tables and data warehouses to extract data for FDM import. Points to consider regarding source system integration include:

• The process can be developed using either the standard FDM user-driven “4 fish process” or FDM’s batch processing functionality.

• The combination of direct source system integration and FDM batch processing can result in a process devoid of manual intervention between the source and target systems.

• Once the source system integration script is created, it executes consistently every time; ensuring that every extraction thereafter will run correctly.

• CDS’s clients use source system integration to greatly improve the controls around the data extract and load process.

Data Warehouse Integration

Many of our clients are now using FDM not only as an integral part of their Oracle Hyperion suite of tools, but also as a tool for loading data into non-Hyperion target systems. Some of the integrations that CDS helps clients implement include:

• Utilizing the DataMart adapter that, unlike the basic Hyperion adapters, integrates with non-Hyperion systems. Using FDM’s core functionality, the DataMart adaptor prepares a flat file for upload into a data warehouse or database table.
• Loading financial or operational data into data warehouses, staging tables orback to the originating general ledgers.
• Developing a complete integration with target systems that performs validation checks on the data loaded to the target system.

By using FDM to integrate with non-Hyperion systems, many of CDS’s clients have extended their use of FDM beyond its original purpose and have gained greater return on their investment in the tool.

Data Protection Solution

Financial organizations face the dilemma of loading data via FDM while protecting existing data in the target system. CDS’s solutions address this problem by restricting overwritesto data previously loaded via FDM (e.g. previous iterations of the trial balance file.) Our solutions work inthe following way:

• End users load trial balance and other data via FDM. The users also enter data into HFM via other methods.

• The end users need to reload the trial balance or other data via FDM using the Replace method. However, the users do not want to erase the other data that exists in HFM.

• The end users reload usingour solution. Our solution archives the last loaded data file for each FDM location, category, and period. For subsequent loads, our solutions update the current data fileso that it contains the previously loaded data records with a value of ‘NO DATA’ as well as the current data with the actual values. The ‘NO DATA’ designation removes the value that existed previously.

• Our solution loads the new data values and preserves the data in HFM that was not loaded via FDM.

CDS’s clients use our solution to make the data loading process much more flexible and less prone to rework; users never have tostart over and re-enter all their data if they need to reload a trial balance.

We recommend this solution on all FDM implementations, and almost all our clients have chosen to apply this custom script to simplify and streamline the data submission process.

Advanced Reports

FDM is delivered with a standard set of reports, ranging from trial balance, location process monitoring, and mapping and system audit reports. CDS has helped numerous clients extend the breadth and meaning of these reports by augmenting existing reports and by creating entirely new ones. Examples of custom FDM reports that CDS can create include:

• Trial balance reports that sort by chart of accounts, as opposed to alphabetically

• Custom reports that modify the stages and details of batch processing

• Reports that automatically populate an Excel sheet with values from the target system

Find the report that fits your needs from our extensive library of custom reports, or tap our reserve of FDM report developers who can create new custom reports to meet almost any requirement.

Collection of HR Data

CDS is helping clients find increasingly unique ways to utilize FDM as more than just a data-loadingtool. One popular use of FDM facilitates validation and consolidation of HR data. Some of the FDM-HR solutions that CDS helps clients implement include:

• Processing hundreds of thousands of records of HR data, with up to 60 disparate dimensions.
• Validating HR records to ensure that all fields match a set of predefined criteria.
• Setting up automatic email alerts to users for data submission deadlines or data validation checks.
• Scheduled consolidation, encryption, and FTP transfer of the HR data to the organization’s benefits provider at specified intervals.
• Designing custom FDM-HR reports, such as process monitors, error listings, critical changes in employee information, and agency transfers.

Our clients use FDM to streamline their HR data collection process and to collect weekly HR data in a matter of minutes rather than days. This unique use of FDM provides tremendous efficiencies and greatlyincreases organizations’ return on investment in the software.
