our team delivers for you

our team makes Brovanture different – dedicated, well trained, qualified and committed to delivering excellent service to all our clients – backed up by our significant investment in their careers and training to ensure they give the best advice and service available today

learn about our services

Brovanture Ltd, established in 2005, is a specialist provider of Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions across all sectors and organisations, irrespective of size or budget. Initially a Hyperion Partner, Brovanture became an Oracle Partner following Oracle’s takeover of Hyperion and is also an Oracle NetSuite Partner. In January 2018 Brovanture became the 1st Oracle Fully Certified Cloud Excellence Implementer for Enterprise Planning and Budgeting in the UK & IRL. Brovanture is an accredited supplier with G-Cloud and Crown Commercial Service and has ISO9001 and ISO27001 accreditations.

Brovanture recognises that we are in a people business; we employ people, we buy from people, we sell to people and we are convinced that by investing in people we will develop as a sound, client focused business. Part of this, is our commitment to graduate development. We have recruited and trained new graduates every year since 2009 and some of our original graduates now hold roles of considerable responsibility in FTSE250 companies.

The Brovanture team of highly skilled professionals are familiar with the pressures on finance professionals, at all levels of business, often having come from similar roles before joining Brovanture. With this experience they can deliver an empathetic response quickly to help Brovanture clients meet the demands of modern finance. They deliver excellence, ensure success, and are experienced in providing services to a wide range of commercial and public sector organisations including Ted Baker, discoverIE, Reading Borough Council and Channel 4 Television.

Brovanture - Malcolm Brock

malcolm brock

managing director

Marc & I started Brovanture in 2005 after having worked together at the EPM vendor Comshare. A shared recognition that Essbase was far and above the best financial database led us to approach Hyperion to become partners and the rest, as they say, is history.

Over the years we have completed over 80 successful implementation projects including discoverIE, Channel 4 Television, Edrington-Beam Suntory and many others. Our first project remains a valued client and has migrated, with our support, from Oracle Hyperion Planning to the Oracle Cloud EPM Planning, an evolution that we have enthusiastically followed ourselves. We use NetSuite and Oracle Cloud EPM internally.

A background in management and ERP & EPM sales has enabled me to to lead teams to position and implement business change/improvement programmes using software as a facilitator of that change within a range of industries and in different functional areas.

When I am not working to exceed the expectations of our clients I can be found playing golf or watching the trials and tribulations of Harlequins rugby.

Brovanture - Marc Van Kan

marc van kan

professional services director

When we started Brovanture we wanted to improve on the various organisations that we’d come to know. My business life that began at Dimension Data, in  Johannesburg in 1997 with Essbase, continued with Comshare where a certain account manager dispatched me to implement in Glasgow within days of arriving and has culminated in over 13 years and many implementations with Brovanture. I lead a group of highly skilled and dedicated consultants – many of whom have been developed within Brovanture as placement students or graduates.

Oracle Essbase remains at the core of what we do whether in Oracle Cloud EPM or Oracle Hyperion On-premises. Our Graduates always start with the foundation of Oracle Essbase before moving on to the various products in use.

My skillset developed over years of Pre-Sales, Implementation and Support engagements remains valid in today’s market as the use of the Cloud becomes the standard in finance.

I remain convinced that the Brovanture teams of technical and functional specialists and skilled accountants presents the best service provision for companies looking for fast economic solutions with the market leading Oracle Cloud software.

When I’m not contemplating a multi dimensional cube I can be found in Richmond Park preparing for the next triathlon or on the terraces of The Stoop.

Brovanture - Guillaume Slee

guillaume slee

EPM services director

I’ve been working with EPM products since I joined Hyperion in 1999 as an Essbase support consultant. I was invited to join Brovanture in 2014 after working with several consultancies including Infratects, KPMG and Analitica.

My main areas of focus are on environments, integration and presales. Brovanture provide innovative hosting and support solutions for our on-premises customers and we are experts in delivering smooth and swift upgrade services migrating on-premises applications to the Oracle Cloud EPM and Oracle NetSuite Cloud ERP. However, you never forget your first love and I still get a real kick out of demoing Oracle Cloud EPM Planning and more recently the Oracle Analytics Cloud to our new clients.

When I’m not up to my elbows in data you’ll find me running on the fells, swimming in lakes and cycling up hills.

ten year veterans

Before Ram arrived at Brovanture he worked in North America and Canada for several years working with Oracle Hyperion Planning and Oracle Essbase. For the first 6 months we called Ram, Naresh! This must have been confusing for him! On his first day he went to Channel 4 as we’d just secured a support contract with them. We still support Channel 4 today and this is largely because of Ram’s dedication to support excellence and the support team he has grown and developed. An example of this is whilst holiday in India, from the beach, he talked through a solution for a client application via Facetime.

Martin was part of the hardcore Essbase team at Comshare in the 1990s and is a fount of all Oracle Essbase knowledge. He has been a source of clever solutions in our industry for years, applying a mix of cynical doubt and technical brilliance to our various engagements. It was Martin who came up with our Student Placement Scheme. Martin has inspired our many placement students (all still with us today!) to become masters of Oracle Essbase and ambassadors for the Hyperion/Oracle planning on-premises and Cloud products.

Brovanture Alin

We were first introduced to Alin when one of our team was implementing at Ursus the brewers in Bucharest. His interview with Brovanture was delayed by a volcano erupting in Iceland and flights were grounded all over Europe. He eventually flew in one Friday morning, went out to lunch with Malcolm and Marc and the rest is history!  Alin’s first project was in sunny Keighley and he didn’t see the Brovanture office again for weeks.  He followed up with numerous projects in the UK.  Recently, Alin has operated from his home in Bucharest working with clients there and in the UK and expanding our relationship with the Oracle On-Premises team based in Romania.
