What Oracle EPM Cloud services does ETHX Softcon deliver, and how long does a PBCS implementation take?
ETHX Softcon implements Oracle EPM Cloud end to end, covering Planning (PBCS), Financial Close (FCCS), Account Reconciliation (ARCS), EDMCS for master data governance, and Profitability and Cost Management. Planning work includes driver-based plans, rolling forecasts, workforce, capex, and project planning, integrated with Fusion Financials actuals. FCCS handles the close calendar, consolidation, intercompany elimination, ownership changes, and multiple GAAPs and currencies, while ARCS can be implemented on its own to automate account reconciliations.
Migrations from Hyperion Planning to PBCS and from HFM to FCCS are a core capability. Financial Reports and Narrative Reporting are a standard part of every engagement, alongside Smart View. According to ETHX Softcon, a focused PBCS implementation for a single process such as workforce or capex runs eight to twelve weeks, and a full finance plan and forecast runs four to six months. Testing uses parallel close and plan cycles against legacy until variance is cleared, followed by hypercare through the first close and optimisation sprints.
