Oracle Financial Analytics - seeing the forest for the trees
How often have we used the term "can’t see the forest for the trees" in an effort to simplify our discussions on how EPM and/or BI can enable a business, yet somehow we still fail to see the point?
That’s because it’s easy to fall into two common traps, the first, and easiest of which is a deep dive into the methodologies, technical aspects, and feature function comparisons usually reserved for the more technically focused IT folks. Due to the consistently changing nature of technology, this conversation will never end.
The other view is a high level abstract around the virtues of how EPM can drive better shareholder value, greater insight in operations, a more agile organization, and yaddy yaddy yaddy. This is a view often shared with executives - which is nice for about 10 minutes before someone asks for some specific, concrete examples.
Like most folks, I want to see EPM and BI being used in a real-life scenarios. However, next to visiting another company, I think this on-line demo of Oracle Financial Analytics a very good alternative and a great starting point to see both the forest and the trees for yourself.
