Session 2:
Topic: Oracle Enterprise Performance Management at Duke University Health System
Abstract: Faced with a dynamic and challenging business environment, DUHS seized the opportunity to modernize and automate its performance management, reporting, and planning strategy. In this session, you will learn how DUHS implemented three Oracle EPM applications (Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, Oracle Hyperion Planning, and Oracle Hyperion Essbase). You will hear how DUHS converted from legacy Hyperion Enterprise and Pillar to Oracle’s latest EPM Applications along with the implementation of the Release 11 solution which leverages Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Architect and Oracle Data Integrator.
The initial phase of the project converted Hyperion Enterprise to Financial Management and Hyperion Pillar to Planning along with implementation of Essbase for extended analytics and management reporting. Subsequent phases included the upgrade to version 11 and the implementation of EPMA to manage master data for Hyperion applications. The solution ties together financial consolidations, financial reporting, analytics and planning. Workforce Planning was leveraged extensively to build budgets by Employee by Department and to consolidate a majority of outlier calculations within Hyperion Planning versus in offline Excel Spreadsheets such as their FTE calculation. Planning also provided users the ability to view Budget & Actual reports in real time after inputs are made into planning web forms or via Smart View. The solution also included integration with their ERP System.
