Lay the Foundation for Integrated Planning


Oracle provides native business intelligence and planning capabilities in a single environment. Oracle Hyperion Planning lets you perform sophisticated analysis of business operations and use that information to create accurate forecasts and plans without switching to different tools. Using a single interface, you can access user-friendly dashboards, interactive analytics, and richly formatted financial reports while interacting with the planning system. With the Enterprise Performance Management Architect feature, you can easily create, manage, and integrate your planning processes for faster deployment and lower cost of ownership.


Expand Beyond Finance to Support Operational Business Planning

Oracle Hyperion Planning synchronizes your financial and operational planning processes in your organization by connecting planning activities-such as sales revenue planning, marketing campaign planning, demand planning, workforce planning, and operations project planning-throughout the supply chain. With driver-based planning capabilities, nonfinancial users can enter business and operational drivers, while sophisticated business rules will then calculate their financial impact. By expanding financial planning into operational planning, you can attain more-accurate forecasts, and consequently, better adapt to market changes.


Leverage Existing User Competencies with Microsoft Office Integration

Oracle Hyperion Planning allows you to update and report plans using familiar tools such as Microsoft Office Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. Through Excel, for example, you can easily perform sophisticated financial modeling and reporting using reliable and up-to-date information from the central planning database. Oracle Hyperion Planning lets you take your plans offline, and at your own convenience, change assumptions, perform calculations, analyze results, and connect back to the central database to synchronize your updates. Additionally, you can directly integrate data from the planning database into PowerPoint and Word. This allows you to quickly create highly customized reports with accurate information and automatically refresh the report when the underlying data changes. The end result: reduced manual intervention, improved data integrity, and increased reporting accuracy.

Connect a Wide User Community with Simplified Web Interface

Oracle Hyperion Planning enables your business users to easily view plans and reports regardless of their computer skills. It also guides your less-frequent users step by step through the planning process using a wizard called Task Lists, allowing you to reduce cycle times while ensuring that your plans are complete and reliable. With Oracle Hyperion Planning's secure Web infrastructure and user-friendly interface, you can even include your external business partners, such as suppliers or distributors, in your planning process. As a result, you will be able to increase the timeliness and accuracy of your forecasts.

Enable Quick Implementations Through Predefined Solutions

The Oracle Hyperion Planning platform allows you to easily add predefined modules for workforce planning and capital asset planning thereby reducing implementation time and cost while providing best-practice functionality.

  • Oracle Hyperion Workforce Planning lets you quickly and efficiently plan for head count, salary, and compensation across the enterprise. By automatically connecting with your workforce data, it helps you assess the business impact of your workforce decisions in real time.
  • Oracle Hyperion Capital Asset Planning allows you to plan existing and new capital assets, maintenance, transfers, and depreciation while analyzing their impact on income, balance sheet, and cash flow.

Ease Collaboration and Maintain Control with Powerful Workflow

Oracle Hyperion Planning's powerful workflow functionality-including e-mail notifications, alerts, and task lists-empowers users to track and communicate the progress of plans and budgets. In addition to creating, validating, and changing plans and task lists, you can also identify bottlenecks and conduct what-if analysis and scenario testing.

Support Large Deployment with Scalable Architecture

Oracle Hyperion Planning is built on a scalable architecture, which allows you to, if appropriate, start with an initially small deployment before rolling it out to hundreds or thousands of required users in the organization. The architecture allows for flexible data entry, analysis, and frequent real-time updates from anywhere, in a safe and secure environment using a standard Web browser. Moreover, Oracle Hyperion Planning provides collaborative planning processes and dependable, centralized data management, significantly reducing your maintenance and distribution costs. Oracle Hyperion Planning interoperates with existing security mechanisms to help ensure maintenance and security consistency.

Ensure Data Quality with Robust Data Integration

Oracle Hyperion Planning facilitates bidirectional information exchange with legacy applications, data warehouses, and enterprise resource planning and transaction systems. It is an open and extensible system that leverages data that was previously "locked" in silos and other systems.
