The Ultimate Guide to Hyperion to Oracle Cloud EPM
Ready to move from Oracle Hyperion to Oracle Cloud EPM?
Empower your finance team with automation, AI solutions, and strategic agility in the cloud.
As thousands of organizations shift to the cloud, Oracle Cloud EPM has emerged as a leading solution—offering cross-functional planning, predictive insights, and continuous innovation not possible with on-premise tools.
Why Migrate from Hyperion?
Legacy Hyperion solutions limit agility, increase manual work, and drive up ownership costs. Oracle Cloud EPM uses AI-driven solutions to unlock a connected, intelligent, and efficient future.
1. Reduce Total Cost of Ownership
The total cost of ownership for EPM processes is materially lower in the cloud because common overhead functions are facilitated by Oracle rather than the customer.
2. Innovation and Enhancements
Another benefit of the cloud is the expediency of new features that can improve EPM efficiency and accuracy for users. Traditional on-premises software like Hyperion has limited upgrades.
3. Leverage Best Practices
For some company-specific EPM processes, the fastest route to the cloud may be to lift and shift current EPM processes to the cloud. However, for many of the most common EPM business processes (such as expense planning, workforce planning, financial consolidation, etc.) adoption of best practices built into the cloud should be seriously considered as a key benefit.
The Future of Finance with EPM
What can Cloud EPM Do in 2025 and beyond?
Insight Types
IPM Insights streamline reporting and improve decision-making by uncovering anomalies through signal detection, root cause analysis, and collaborative reporting.
Generative AI
Automatic variance explanations and board-ready narratives—summarizing period changes, anomalies, and causality. Gen AI in EPM streamlines reporting and reduces manual effort.
AI Agents in EPM
Oracle’s PaaS strategy expands AI agent development across OCI and all EPM modeles. Executive leadership can streamline Reconciliation, Data Visualization, Forecasting, and Data Matching.
Transformation with EPMI and Oracle
Cloud modernization is essential to today’s finance teams—from reducing total cost of ownership to accelerating close cycles with AI-driven solutions.
The EPMI team equips enterprises with…
- Tools and accelerators to migrate data, metadata, and reports
- PaaS extensions for integration across OCI and Agent Builders
- Strategic guidance—thinking beyond a lift-and-shift
