Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS)
World-Class Planning and Budgeting with the Simplicity of the Cloud
The Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS) was the first Hyperion Cloud Service from Oracle and is a flexible planning application based on Oracle Hyperion Planning.
It supports enterprise wide planning, budgeting and forecasting in a cloud-based deployment model and enables organisations of all sizes to quickly adopt world-class planning and budgeting applications with no CAPEX infrastructure investments.
Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service provides Excel-based and web-based Excel-like modelling, planning and approval capabilities. Sales, operational and strategic plans can be linked to long-term and near-term financial plans.
Oracle PBCS allows users to create multiple what-if versions and slice and dice data based on differing assumptions. A rolling forecast wizard makes it simple to implement a driver-based forecast process in which the forecasting time horizon rolls forwards across years and the passage of time.
