Harmonic, Inc. leverages ADI’s 1Maintenance Solution for 24X7 support of its Hyperion applications. Harmonic faced a challenge common to many organizations: their installed base of Hyperion Applications did not warrant a full time in-house Hyperion Administrator. With the 1Maintenance Solution, Harmonic has access to seasoned Hyperion Administrators who can quickly respond to anything from routine structural changes to restoring the system.
ADI was invited to participate in Oracle’s beta testing program, and had the opportunity to provide feedback on the latest release of Enterprise Performance Management Architect (EPMA). ADI tested EPMA functionality including upgrading a classic Hyperion Planning application to an EPMA application, and many of the options available for administrators to quickly and accurately build and update metadata, including the use of shared and local dimensions, the EPMAFileGenerator, import enhancements, and the Grid Editor. ADI enjoyed the opportunity to interact closely with the developers, and to provide feedback beneficial to future EPMA users.
Prior to implementing Hyperion Planning Jenny Craig relied on a series of off-line Excel Spreadsheet templates to complete their planning and forecasting cycles. The new solution will leverage Hyperion Planning’s currency conversion capabilities in addition to providing detailed plans and forecasts for HR, Departmental Expense and Capital. The solution centralizes the Planning Data and liberates users from having to keep myriad Excel workbooks in synch. Most importantly, the data centralization implicitly preserves the integrity of the data.
