The Hidden Gem Award Goes To... EDM for Enabling Dynamic Allocation Solutions in Oracle Cloud Profitability

Oracle Cloud PCM, and now Enterprise PCM, have, for many years, been the gold standard for allocation solutions across the ERP and EPM industry. Clients worldwide and across every industry have found value in its ability to be the allocation solution of the Financial Close and Profitability Analytics processes and provide unparalleled efficiency, scalability, and transparency benefits.

However, all too often, we see clients under-leveraging their Oracle Cloud EPM investment by not efficiently leveraging Oracle Cloud Enterprise Data Management (EDM) to:
• Help simplify the dimension management of their allocation solution
• Reduce rule maintenance while enhancing traceability and reporting
• Enhance data integration capabilities while reducing unnecessary touchpoints and user errors
• Improve allocation solution performance
• Enhance auditing capabilities
• Leverage the appropriate EDM adapter for Classic PCM or Enterprise PCM use cases

Join us in this session to learn how to make the most of your Oracle Cloud EPM investment and ensure by leveraging Oracle Cloud EDM to enhance your Oracle Cloud PCM and Enterprise PCM allocation solutions.
