Visual Media Company Migrates from Hyperion to Oracle EPM Cloud
Challenge
The client was running Hyperion on-premises which was desupported by Oracle and was falling short in presenting both detailed and consolidated views of the business. The financial close process was slow and cumbersome, and they were finding it difficult to configure coherent reports in Hyperion that work across the entire organization. They decided to migrate to Oracle FCCS to simplify and automate their financial close processes.
Solution
ITC implemented Oracle FCCS with extended dimensionality and migrated 10 years of historical data to the cloud. All existing on-premise HFM functionalities were mapped to the cloud including custom calculations. ITC faced some challenges due to the limitations of FCCS for YTD Data Storage and YTD Calculations. but they were resolved and knowledge transfer was done to the Accounting and Finance teams. Historical JEs were also migrated with additional tracking for easy auditing.
