Summary
SAIC embarked on a journey to enhance its FP&A (Financial Planning and Analysis) strategy and solutions within the EPM Cloud suite of products. Our goal was to develop a strategy aligned with industry-leading practices to better leverage and improve our business processes and potentially implement technology solutions. We partnered with Argano for an EPM Strategic Assessment to create a tailored roadmap, aiming to harness the full potential of Oracle EPM solutions and drive performance excellence. From aligning financial processes to streamlining data management, this session will uncover why our journey began with a Strategic Assessment, how we transitioned into implementing the roadmap recommendations, and the lessons we learned in essential steps to create a roadmap aligning with organizational objectives.
Joe Aultman will take the lead to highlight the value of an EPM Strategic Assessment, whether you're already invested in Oracle EPM or considering its adoption. He will talk about best practices, industry benchmarks, and real-world success stories that will inspire and guide your company toward sustained growth and success.
