Oracle

Oracle is the world’s largest business software company. A large percentage of FTSE 500 companies rely on Oracle solutions to run their business. Our Oracle clients rely on us to make sure we implement and support their business critical performance management and business intelligence solutions.We have worked in the Oracle Hyperion space for over 14 years and are specialised gold partners.

We specialise in five areas:

• Oracle Essbase.
• Oracle Hyperion Planning.
• Oracle HPCM.
• OBIEE+ (Reporting and analysis).
• Oracle BI Apps.

Oracle Essbase

Oracle Essbase is the industry-leading OLAP (online analytical processing) product. The newest release of Oracle's Hyperion Essbase product, Oracle Essbase provides an environment for rapidly developing custom analytic and enterprise performance management applications.

Oracle Essbase essentially frees organisations from spreadsheet-hell. By storing all your key data in one place for sharing, users can analyse their information quickly and effectively in Excel or via many other front end reporting and analysis front end tools.

Oracle Essbase is the OLAP tool of choice for large volumes of data and complex data relationships and calculations. Our Essbase experience is probably more extensive than any other consultancy in the UK and covers financial services, retail and energy in particular.

Essbase - There’s an App for That!

We will be offering a number of pre-packed Essbase solutions out of the box starting April 2010, so watch this space!

Oracle Hyperion Planning

Oracle Hyperion Planning is a centralised, Excel and web-based planning, budgeting and forecasting solution that integrates financial and operational planning processes and improves business predictability.

Oracle Hyperion Planning provides an in-depth look at business operations and its related impact on financials, by tightly integrating financial and operational planning models. With Oracle Hyperion Planning you can meet your immediate financial planning needs while enabling a platform for future cross-functional expansion and automated process integration.

Over 50% of our business involves planning projects. Our two founders are both qualified accountants and as a consequence have built a team that understands planning and all its intricacies.

If your planning process needs to be re-thought or built from the ground up, please contact Jonathan Cowle at oracle@altiusconsulting.com.

Oracle HPCM

Oracle HPCM is a new EPM application that focuses on improving an organisation’s profitability and performance improvement. It is built on an Essbase engine and uses activity-based relationships to help identify where cost improvements could be made.

Oracle HPCM provides a single point of reference for maintaining control over your organisation’s cost base by activity. Leave spreadsheets behind and use HPCM to monitor and manage your cost base effectively and consistently.

Oracle Business Intelligence Applications (BI Apps)

Oracle Business Intelligence (BI) Applications are complete, prebuilt BI solutions that deliver intuitive, role-based intelligence for everyone in an organisation that enable better decisions, actions and improved business processes.

BI Apps is essentially a ‘data warehouse’ in a box which can be designed and deployed in a fraction of the time that a typical warehouse solution would take. The BI Apps components are standard EPM and Oracle BI tools so we have extensive experience of both warehouse delivery and the technology components.
