SERVICES
Hyperion-Oracle BI/EPM - Enterprise Class
Historically, corporate finance and IT organizations have been distinct and separate in corporate America. Financial reporting applications have consistently been small and easily handled by a small IT staff, either through the corporate IT structure or a small supplemental technically orientated finance staff.
However, modern financial applications have evolved to integrated, complex, and feature-rich solutions. Corporate finance organizations face difficulties as enterprise-class applications such as System 9 and Oracle quickly overwhelm technical finance staff and can become a burden on corporate IT organizations not familiar with financial delivery needs.
Financial information has commonly been reserved for the CXO and senior financial analysts. However, firms are seeing dramatic competitive advantage by getting the right financial data the right people throughout an entire organization. As the general usage of corporate systems rises, we see the obvious need for mission critical availability, stability, and scalability. But with that comes technical complexity.
Hyperion System 9 and 11 is based on a Service Oriented Architecture that separates technical services into many distinct processes governed by a common communication platform. This allows for great flexibility and scalability in design, but adds to complexity. The initial architectural design of a system is key, as decisions made in the beginning can affect the availability of options later. Successful enterprise implementations must employ the services of an IT specialist to help in enterprise design, sizing, installation/configuration, testing, migration, and knowledge transfer. In essence, firms must bridge that gap between Finance and IT, and partner in it’s design, implementation, rollout, and support.
Smooth Transition Through Partnership
Mr. Helmer specializes in bridging the gap between finanace and IT. He brings a wealth of knowledge in corporate IT that helps finance organizations with strategically rolling-out System 9 implementations while
partnering with IT to ensure supportably, and adherence to corporate standards.
For firms choosing to newly implement an Oracle-Hyperion system or existing customers that are in need of an upgrade migration, Mr. Helmer is the industry leader and clear choice to ensure the smoothest implementation and technical transition to full self-sufficiency.
