ORACLE DATA SHEET
Oracle EPM System has helped customers to streamline their planning, budgeting and
reporting processes and improve managing their business performance. Crystal Ball adds
powerful simulation capabilities to these processes to increase the accuracy of your forecasts
and to better manage the inherent risks.
Through EPM Workspcace you can create or modify your Crystal Ball models just as you
would in your desktop version of Excel. You store these Crystal Ball models in a central
repository that can be viewed and shared by others.
With Smart View, you can access data from a variety of Oracle EPM products, such as
Essbase and Hyperion Planning, and bring that data into Microsoft Excel for further analysis.
This EPM data can either be examined independently using the forecasting tools of Crystal
Ball or linked into existing Crystal Ball simulation and optimization models. The results of
your Crystal Ball analysis can then be sent back to the EPM application, thus completing the
forecasting and analysis cycle.
These predictions can feed into probability distributions in financial models, which can be
simulated and optimized to increase the probability of making your forecasts and reduce the
potentials risks in planning assumptions. Post-analysis of the forecast results can be saved
back into your Planning model as scenarios and forecasts. The result is a more accurate
forecast that you can be confident of achieving.
