The hybrid world is still a reality. Systems including Oracle EPM are transitioning to the Cloud, but for many, these are still residing on-premise and this may be the case for some time to come.

What role does EPM integration have in this space? How can we get data into EPM Cloud applications from on-premise data sources? What about extracting data from Cloud sources? Surely these and other questions have arisen in recent years during the implementation of integration solutions in your organisation.

inlumi’s team members are central to our re-wilding and carbon offsetting targets. As of 1 October 2019 all inlumi team members will be carbon neutral, thanks to our partnership with Mossy Earth. For each person working at inlumi, two trees will be planted per month.

For the few of us who use Oracle EPM products with a Mac, working with Smart View has up until now required some complications. It has meant running a virtual PC and using Excel or Word on that. In June 2019 in the EPM Cloud release, Oracle introduced a Smart View that you could use natively on Mac. Can I finally turn off my virtual PC? It’s time to give the Mac version a go. Here’s my take on Smart View for Mac.

Is an upgrade to Hyperion 11.2 the last upgrade you'll ever do? With Kscope19 in Seattle just behind us, and a new release of Hyperion EPM approaching in October, we have all the reasons to think about the next steps.

Recently at the UKOUG Applications Unlimited event, we presented a success story on the inlumi starter kit for IFRS 16 together with our customer Mowi.

For a long time, the norm in consolidation tools was to use 12 dimensions. As the tools have evolved and new tools have become well established on the market, this is not a hard limit anymore, and more dimensions can be used. Recently, I had the pleasure to develop a special purpose HFM application for a financial institution with 14 custom dimensions, making the total number of dimensions 22. The main driver for the amount dimensions is the granular reporting requirement set by the regulator. You can read the customer story here.

inlumi has been shortlisted for the UKOUG Partner of the Year awards in two categories:
