In keeping with EPM tradition, we are driving ODTUG Kscope to places it has never gone before with a geeky, silly version of speed networking where you might snap a selfie and get #Kscope18 and #KscopePuns trending on Twitter. Maybe you will share a laugh at a joke only EPM nerds get. You might even win a prize! Then after we all know each other better, get ready for a roaring good time as we put five teams of well-prepared lip-sync battlers to the ultimate test.

Product Management Corner By Muthu Ranganathan, Oracle Corporation It’s already been a couple of years already since we launched the evolutionary planning and budgeting solution – EPBCS (Enterprise Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service) and we have seen a huge market adoption for the same. EPBCS was launched in May 2016 as a broader solution in the planning and budgeting area with out of box best practice frameworks for Financial Statement Planning, Workforce Planning, Capital Asset Planning, and Project Financial Planning. The interesting thing we see with EPBCS is how some of the customers are rethinking their planning and budgeting process based on best practice features in EPBCS. Let me illustrate a few of the trends we are seeing that customers are adopting with EPBCS. Click here to download the full article. Featured Article A REST API Primer for EPM Users & Developers -  Jason Jones, Applied OLAPThere’s a lot of excitement in the EPM world these days when it comes to REST APIs – and rightfully so. As a developer heavily invested in the EPM space I am excited about some of the possibilities these new APIs offer – and what they will offer in the future. But all of this great new REST API stuff can be quite daunting – how does it work, why should you care, where does it fit in with your overall architecture, and so on. And with ODTUG‘s Kscope18 just around the corner I thought it might be useful to write a primer – or a crash course of sorts – for the EPM professional on what all this REST API business is about. Also be sure to check out one of my presentations at ODTUG Kscope this year as I will be discussing the OAC Essbase REST API, how to use it, what it does, and more. Click here to read the full blog. EPM Meetup Overview Bay Area and Houston Meetup Recap by Amy Kubas, EPMI EPM Intelligence (EPMI) is anxious to give back to the Oracle community by offering up-to-date education to their peers. This means it was a busy Q1 for EPMI, who, along with the South Texas Hyperion User Group and the Bay Area Oracle EPM Group, hosted two meetings, in Houston and the Bay Area respectively. Houston had a great turnout for their February meet-up with the main presentation being “Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud Service (FCCS) Overview”, with Rajesh Bahatia, Oracle’s vice president of product development, presenting. Topics included:
The February Bay Area meeting took place at Facebook’s headquarters and the presentation was “Latest Developments with Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC).” The guest speakers were Gabby Rubin, senior director at Oracle Corporation and Kumar Ramaiyer, vice president at Oracle Corporation. There was a happy hour immediately following, giving attendees the opportunity to learn as well as network. |
