Situation at the City Before Cloud EPM

The City was using a combination of Excel and Google Sheets to compile data for planning and budgeting, and personnel changes in positions, benefits, and salaries were carried out manually by budgeting staff. Burdened with manual and time-intensive operations, the client needed to modernize its Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) solution and improve budgeting processes. The City needed a knowledgeable and reliable integration partner to innovate and reengineer back-office operations, including:

  • Migration of revenue and expense projections to Oracle Cloud
  • Automation of budget book and Comprehensive Annual Budget Report development
  • Development of position reports with salary, benefits, and other key elements
