 "Oracle Links Finance, Operational Functions Through App Integration")
To improve operational alignment and financial performance, Oracle has announced the integration of Oracle Hyperion Planning and Oracle’s Demantra Real-Time Sales and Operations Planning.
Linking Hyperion Planning and Oracle’s Demantra Sales and Operations Planning gives CFOs and supply chain executives a direct path to evolve from a disconnected enterprise and operational planning environment to integrated business planning.
As a result, CFOs get a reliable revenue forecast that has been validated against the current operating plan. On the operations side, supply chain and manufacturing managers can reconcile current operating plans against updated financial targets and budgets.
With its Enterprise Performance Management applications now linked to its Real-time Sales and Operations Planning application, Oracle is providing customers with integrated business planning capabilities.
Integrated Business Planning Improves Visibility and Profitability
Leveraging Oracle Application Integration Architecture (AIA), this integration enables Oracle Hyperion Planning to publish the financial targets for revenue, profits and other metrics to Demantra Real-Time Sales and Operations Planning. This improves decision-making through increased visibility into financial goals and helps improve the quality and profitability of the supply chain operations and demand shaping activities.
Demantra Real-Time Sales and Operations Planning provides the current operating forecast and cost of goods sold data to Oracle Hyperion Planning. This operating forecast is delivered in monetary units and enables financial analysts to identify any gaps between the financial plan and the current operating plan.
Customers will gain additional benefits from adopting Demantra Demand Management, which enables a global demand planning process that senses local demand changes, generates an accurate forecast and supports a cross-functional consensus planning process.
With this integration, data can be moved seamlessly, preserving the user interfaces from Hyperion Planning and Demantra so that new training or re-implementation is not required.
“One key aspect to developing a strategic, actionable operations plan is to integrate it with validated revenue forecasts and to be able to reconcile the operating plans against a real-time budget,” said Gartner Research Director, Tim Payne. “Today, integrated business planning is becoming a valuable strategy as companies are realising the importance of aligning their operational, strategic and financial plans.”

The integration between Oracle Hyperion and Oracle’s Demantra Sales and Operations Planning is now available.
