Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management

Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management software is a new performance management application that is part of Oracle's enterprise performance management (EPM) system and provides actionable insights into costs and profitability. This solution drives business performance by discovering drivers of cost and profitability, empowering users with visibility and flexibility, and improving resource alignment.

Unlike traditional activity-based costing applications, Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management offers a flexible allocations platform for any method including ABC, time estimation, etc. The application also supports both cost and revenue management. Traceability maps and audit trail capabilities provide unique transparency and ease of use. Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management is the only packaged profitability application that leverages Oracle Essbase Plus, the industry's leading OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) server, for faster, easier, powerful multidimensional analysis. Unlike nonintegrated EPM suite vendors, Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management shares a common foundation and is integrated with the other Hyperion performance management applications. This enables a single point of maintenance for reduced cost of administration and ownership versus. nonintegrated point solutions.
