Oracle PBCS & Oracle BICS: Global Surveillance company reduced their Budget Cycle & retrieved Reports faster.

Saturn Infotech helped Global Surveillance company reduce their Budget Cycle & retrieve Reports faster with Oracle PBCS & Oracle BICS.

The client is an advanced-technology leader focused on developing surveillance, communications, analysis and integration technologies for a wide range of aerospace, defense and commercial customers worldwide.

Pain Points:

• Out of Box Oracle products could not provide the type of project-centered analysis they needed
• Planning processes required heavy IT Involvement
• Users could not run reports on their own without the help of IT. This reliance on IT turned easy tasks into costly interruptions.
• They struggled with reporting issues with BI applications, as on premise BI apps were too rigid and did not fit their reporting requirements

Solution:

• Saturn devised an architectural solution for how Cognos and the on premise Hyperion system could be replaced and calibrated into a single Cloud-based solution, PBCS (Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service)
• Saturn showed the client the value that PBCS has and how the application can be owned by the business directly and accessed by many users
• Saturn laid out the project plan in phases to decide what the most important steps were and arranged resources based on client needs

Benefits and Result:

• IT reliance was reduced and finance users are in full control of their data
• Budget cycle reduced from 2 months to 2 weeks
• Faster reports retrieval times (50% reduction in response time of reports)
• Faster data retrieval and data refreshes
• Improved resource productivity
• More dynamic, user-friendly system and reporting platform
• Executives are able to access reports right on their mobile devices
