We’re Presenting!

Join us for an information-packed session that will discuss Consol Energy’s journey to Oracle Cloud, with a presentation by John Rothka, Chief Accounting Officer for Consol, and Subash Krishnaswamy, ERP Practice Director for AST.  This presentation will take place on Wednesday, March 20, at 4:15 PM in Mariner A in the North Convention Center. 

On the Road to Financial Harmony: Consol Energy’s Journey to Oracle Cloud [CON2440]

The finance department in most organizations is under tremendous pressure to transform and streamline financial close and reporting functions, while continuing to maintain the integrity of financial statements and close processes. More must be done faster than ever with fewer resources if finance is to successfully serve its function. Join this session to learn about Consol Energy’s journey to an end-to-end ERP Cloud solution, streamlining its period-end from a process once run on more than 200 spreadsheets to just a few Oracle Cloud modules, and integrating HCM and supply chain functions to more efficiently run the organization.

Expertise that Ensures EPM Cloud Success

Because AST brings deep expertise in both EPM and ERP applications, we are able to implement effective EPM solutions that are fully integrated with a client’s financial accounting systems and processes. Our solutions help organizations align financial planning with business strategies, drive predictable performance, and report with confidence.

Additionally, we are proud to be Oracle CEI-certified on PBCS, EPRCS, and FCCS.  Simply put, we possess the expertise necessary to help organizations optimize their financial close and other financial processes. 

For organizations struggling with manual account reconciliation processes, Oracle’s Account Reconciliation Cloud Service (ARCS) offers a purpose-built solution for streamlining reconciliation. This cloud-based solution:

• Enables reconciliation automation;
• Improves process efficiencies;
• Reduces risk and unreconciled accounts; and
• Provides reports and dashboards for complete visibility, organization-wide.

AST’s Oracle ARCS QuickLaunch tool is used by organizations to adopt ARCS quickly by reducing the time needed to deploy.

For organizations in need of flexible and enhanced financial reporting, Oracle’s Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud Service (FCCS) provides an end-to-end solution that ensures the financial close process is collaborative, dependable, secure, and auditable.

AST’s Oracle FCCS QuickLaunch tool enables organizations to rapidly adopt Oracle FCCS while following best practices.

Some of our recent successes include:

• In January, one of the United States’ leading energy companies went live on Oracle ERP Cloud as its stand-alone ERP system, utilizing over 30 Oracle Cloud modules, including Financials, EPM, HCM, and SCM, in order to streamline business processes and optimize its financial close.
• In October, AST deployed an end-to-end, cloud-based financial solution, leveraging FCCS, ARCS, and EPBCS, for one of the largest energy services companies in northeast United States to consolidate disparate financial applications into a single platform, standardize business processes, and access meaningful data in near-real time.
