Make Every Penny Count with Better Reporting, Budgeting and Forecasting

We don’t have to tell you that UK public sector budgets are tight and are only likely to get tighter!

What we can do is provide the tools to ensure you can make every penny count. In fact, we have doing this for years with many public sector organisations including HM Treasury and HS2 who are going to join us for this webinar. They will discuss what they have achieved by implementing new enterprise performance management (EPM) solutions to support their reporting, budgeting and forecasting

Helping organisations through the initial budgeting process is only the beginning. Perhaps even more important is managing budgets once underway. Constant changes and unexpected events result in the need for adjustments, reallocation (virements) and collaboration to keep on track. This is where many of the benefits of cloud enterprise performance management solutions really come into play.

Keeping the budget up-to-date and relevant during the entire budgeting period
Providing greater accuracy and timely understanding of the financial numbers – both actual and planned
Increasing collaboration, involvement and ownership of budgets, forecasts and therefore delivering better outcomes
Leveraging of wider operational knowledge to deliver more realistic and accurate plans and budgets
Reducing errors to give greater confidence the organisation will deliver on its plans and forecasts
Cloud EPM enables simple acquisition and fast time to value with, no client IT set-up, fast provision and expert implementation support

To find out more on how EPM can help your organisation make every penny count, join us and our clients HS2 and HM Treasury for a one hour webinar at 10:00 on the 21st May 2025.

Webinar: Oracle Cloud EPM Planning – Connect Planning Across the Enterprise (1 hour)

With political and economic instability continuing to affect the entire world both demand and supply are volatile and therefore business and financial plans need to be agile. We do not seem to be going back to pre-pandemic norms, so we need a different approach and mindset for this new normal.

Join us to find out how Finance can transform planning, budgeting and forecasting so the entire organisation can operate successfully in a new ‘connected’ environment. You will have the opportunity to see the software working and to ask questions to our uniquely qualified team.

Oracle Cloud EPM Planning is a purpose-built business planning solution that is a perfect fit for both corporate finance as well as operational planners (such as services, communications, HR, IT, and other lines of business). It empowers operational planners with flexibility, scalability and the ownership to plan the way they want, while still offering the transparency and control required for corporate finance.

This solution provides the freedom of choice to deploy a solution that meets the specific needs of both large and medium sized corporations and public sector organisations. It also delivers both the simplicity and flexibility to meet organisational needs, whilst maintaining the ease and upgradability of a Cloud based planning solution.
