[CON2731] A Public Sector Special Interest Group Perspective of Migration to Oracle Cloud – Tuesday, 9/17 at 12:30 PM PT in Moscone West, Room 2009A

Public sector organizations are increasingly adopting “cloud-first” strategy to take advantage of greater flexibility, predictable cost, and retention of technical talent, among other benefits.  As IT executives start developing a business case for selecting and deploying a cloud solution, they find themselves grappling with many questions.  This session explores the process of developing approaches for selection, and practical steps for evaluating, describing, and quantifying benefits, cost saving, and risks associated with deploying solutions or migrating existing solutions to the cloud.

[CAS3477] Powering Financial Reporting with Oracle Financial Consolidation & Close Cloud – Tuesday, 9/17 at 4:15 PM PT in Moscone West, Room 2024B

This case study is like many: a customer uses Excel as its primary tool for financial reporting and spends countless hours on monthly and quarterly close.  In this session, hear how Oracle Fusion and Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud provided the capability to standardize the hierarchies required for financial reports. Both Oracle General Ledger and Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud can easily integrate with Smart Views and utilize a financial reporting studio to create standardized reports. Topics covered include the metadata integration process between Oracle General Ledger and Oracle Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud, the minimal training requirements between the systems, the power of Smart View for analysis, lessons learned, and tips and tricks.
