Today’s persistent macro-economic forces are reshaping business strategies and forcing organizations to look at opportunities to improve their operations. Finance executives are prioritizing modernization efforts to help better enable business strategies by enhancing mission-critical on-prem EPM applications and realizing the advantages of cloud solutions.

Digital transformation is accelerated through the need for finance to be a broader business partner to other departments, doing “more with less.” This session focuses on finance modernization best practices, followed by how Oracle EPM Cloud increases business agility, lowers total cost of ownership and improves innovation – giving more time to focus on higher-value decision support and analytics.

Join our experts to learn why now is the time to move your on-prem application to the Oracle EPM Cloud.

National Harbor, MD – ESCO, a Weir Group Division, sunset their legacy systems of Essbase, HFM, SmartView, and SQL. The environment was disjointed financial processes spanning multiple siloed systems from data warehouses to Hyperion to Cubes to Excel. Movement and replication of data between systems and processes created very complex, FTE-intensive monthly procedures. Accuracy, updates, reconciliations, and delivery of information were all compromised by the amount of time needed to maintain the processes.

In this session, we will review ESCO’s Waves of Success implementing the OneStream unified platform, in partnership with The Hackett Group. Outcomes include:

  • Reducing cost and expanding finance organization’s capabilities
  • Strengthening finance’s ability to partner with the business
  • Retain, develop, & optimize professional staff

Featured speakers:

  • Dave Baumgartner, Finance Process Leader, Weir ESCO
  • Geoff Hankerson, Senior Director, Finance FP&A, Weir Group PLC
  • Kevin Stuck, Director, The Hackett Group

As recent headlines about Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank have highlighted, organizations can benefit from an effective Treasury function – whether run by a dedicated Treasury team or performed as a responsibility within the Office of the Controller. As companies elect to diversify risk by spreading their cash accounts across multiple banks, the Treasury function’s responsibilities increase in complexity as they must analyze and forecast the service fees from multiple financial institutions.

By introducing an innovative use of Oracle’s Account Reconciliation (ARCS) solution, The Hackett Group was able to extend the functionality of ARCS beyond the traditional Balance Sheet reconciliation and Transaction Matching use cases to a completely new use case. With this new extension, the 12-month summary level and individual month detail level bank service fee reports can now be generated in Excel, reducing the administrative burden on the Treasury function of an organization.

In this webcast, Art Yoshii, Director of The Hackett Group’s Oracle Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) practice, will share how The Hackett Group simplified the bank service fee analysis process by integrating the Account Analysis (EDI/822) data files from nine different banks within a client’s existing Oracle EPM footprint.

Organizations across the globe are realizing that digitalization of processes is a business imperative for reducing costs, increasing efficiencies, and generating net new opportunities. The hospitality industry has unique opportunities to use digital solutions to support industry specific business needs. The Daily Operations Report (DOR) allows finance teams to measure and track their property’s performance – and digitizing this process can quickly add value to the business. Transforming the DOR process to minimize manual intervention for data collection and report generation allows for management to respond near real-time to market conditions, adjusting operations to meet forecasts and budget.

Join The Hackett Group for an overview of how Oracle EPM Cloud can be used to digitalize the hospitality industry’s DOR process on a single, integration platform with Daily Actuals, Monthly Forecasts, and Annual Plan.

Key Session Topics Include:

  • An overview of the Hospitality DOR process
  • Key benefits of digitalization and value generated
  • Key features of Oracle EPM Cloud platform
  • A demo of Hackett’s solution for an automated DOR process
