At France Telecom, Oracle Essbase Helps Drive Business Transformation

France Telecom has chosen Oracle Essbase as the analytic foundation for its Beyond Transformation program, which is driving performance management across the organization through continuous benchmarking of financial and operational indicators.

With revenues of more than 52 billion euros, France Telecom has rapidly evolved from a traditional network provider to become Europe's leading integrated telecommunications operator, delivering mainstream services such as voice, data, and wireless as well as on-demand content ranging from music to multimedia television.

In the wake of this transformation, the company also wanted to streamline its financial operations and processes to work in a "more global, more reliable, and more reactive way," says Stéphane Rougeot, group controller at France Telecom Group.

Oracle solutions, including Oracle E-Business Suite and Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise applications and Oracle Portal as well as Oracle Essbase, are key to this convergence and its drive to achieve industry benchmark goals, according to Rougeot.
