Presentation: "Oracle Enterprise Planning and Budgeting Module"
Speaker(s): Chris Thornhill, Oracle

What tools are you using for budgeting and planning today? Are you using spreadsheet budgeting via ADI? Or is OFA/OSA necessary given its OLAP capabilities? Oracle is now giving you an additional option with Oracle Enterprise Planning & Budgeting (EPB). EPB delivers a scalable planning and analysis application, offering sophisticated data modeling and multi-dimensional analysis in a web environment, tailored for each customer's own business processes. EPB leverages the analytic power of the Oracle 9i Database's OLAP Option as well as Oracle 9i's stroage and scalability. This new product builds on the functionality of OFA and OSA, but extends the functionality to include allocations, statistical forecasting, business process flows, exception alerts, enhanced reporting, and many out of the box calculations. EPB will be the migration path for existing customers of Oracle Financial Analyzer and Oracle Sales Analyzer.
