Situation

Due to an imminent de-support deadline, GOAA sought a new planning and budgeting solution to accommodate its unique business processes. The legacy solution operated with limited system interfaces, requiring excessive manual operations to validate data and perform reporting.
GOAA needed a centralized budget system to:

  • Automate submittal and approval processes;
  • Significantly reduce lengthy planning cycle timelines;
  • Improve reporting and analytical capabilities for the core budget team and department budget users.

GOAA also envisioned transforming its IT department to a zero-capital model to lower its facility and IT support costs and reduce its overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
The AST team ultimately advised GOAA that Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Services (PBCS) was the ideal solution as it was able to address all of their complex budgeting challenges and TCO concerns.
