With Oracle’s Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS), you can create rolling forecasts and analyze variances and what-if scenarios. When paired with Oracle’s Business Intelligence Cloud Service (BICS), users can bridge the gap between reality and planning. This demonstration will cover the ways in which combining PBCS and BICS can optimize the planning, reporting, and analysis process of any size and type of business. Learn how, when used in unison, the two applications can help business owners and finance departments align strategy with business objectives, quickly adapt to change, and make informed decisions. PBCS without BICS is like peanut butter without jelly: They can stand alone, but when paired together they create something great! 

Learning objectives:

Typically, the two applications PBCS and BICS are used and implemented in disconnect. They are marketed as separate solutions, each with their respective benefits. However, PBCS and BICS can be employed side by side to help achieve financial transparency, something that can fall short when a business goes with one or the other. PBCS and BICS can help align strategy with business objectives, leverage information to make informed decisions, and bridge the gap between reality and planning.
