Fixed assets data is extracted from Oracle Fixed Assets module for
depreciation calculations
Budgets are prepared at the cost center level for the relevant accounts and

Phase II
Experience So Far
The perfect planning and budgeting application for
Oracle Financials users
FP&A and IT organizations attended one week of
training on the full product
Front end is better than expected; intuitive, easy to
use and full of predefined features
Puts control of the whole process in the hands of
FP&A. IT has very little to do after the initial setup
We are working with an early release product and
there have been issues, not unexpected
Oracle development and consulting have been
extremely responsive in addressing issues
Still expect implementation time to be much less than
any other potential solution
