Any tips for someone just joining an Oracle EPM implementation project? Wondering what the key skills to learn are and how I can pick up things fast and add value. I am apparently on the business side but I have no idea what that means 😅

If you have an accounting background then it shouldn’t be too hard for you. Some typical concepts are elimination, cta, overrides, roll forward, cash flow, and the team has pretty good documentations for all of them. Feel free to reach out to your team or DM me. Assuming you are EY, this tells me we are not doing a job good enough so that you are getting answers elsewhere.

Assuming you’re like a financial transformation person? And honestly, no offense, it’s really annoying to work with these types of people who only talk process and have no idea how the application works, you’re best to take some learning on the application so you can combine your “process”, with how it actually works in the system.

Really depends on what product. If FCCS, understanding financial consolidation. If Planning, understanding budgeting and forecasting. I also think understanding of multidimensional / cube based data structures is foundational knowledge that you need even if more on the business side.

It is FCCS! I did learn consolidation accounting (in school) but I am assuming what you are referring to is different? I will take note though, thank you!

DM me if you have any FCC questions
