WHAT IS ORACLE ENTERPRISE DATA MANAGEMENT CLOUD?
In simple terms, it is a system of reference for managing data about the enterprise – such as the financial chart of accounts – so that you can get a consistent view across multiple applications, both cloud and on-premises.
EDM Cloud is a platform for change management that helps align and distribute master data changes across EPM, ERP and reporting systems. It enables your organization to adapt and respond to change faster and more effectively: whether you wish to reconcile differences across a couple of financial systems, or migrate an application to the cloud, or transform the business as you navigate a merger or acquisition. With EDM Cloud, you can move faster and with better alignment.

EDM is for Every Business, Not Just for Complex Enterprises
• EDM delivers compelling value even when you’re aligning enterprise data across just 2 applications such as:– 2 planning apps
– Planning app + Financials
– Planning app & Consolidation app
• Of course, EDM is a great enabler of more complex transformations such as– Migrating one or more on-prem apps to cloud
– Integrating the systems of an acquired business
Key Takeaway: EDM is an enterprise solution with broad applicability. Target business owners and bring IT along.

“The introduction of Enterprise Data Management Cloud for enterprise data management provides the final “piece of the puzzle” that allows the EPM SaaS offerings to share common enterprise data…
EDM will allow enterprise data to be centrally maintained and published to various ERP & EPM SaaS applications. Moreover, the enhancement to cloud data management (which is embedded in all EPM SaaS offerings) to deliver additional master data transformation and loading abilities further enhances the value proposition of EDM.”

EDMCS & DRM: Different approaches to EDMFeature Comparison Enterprise Data Management Cloud Oracle Data Relationship Management Suite
Data Management Experience
• Default views optimized for application data management• Cross-application views optimized for change management• Compare app differences side-by-side. Drag-n-drop to align.
• Maintenance hierarchies are mandatory• App perspectives are only generated on export• Compare and analyze hierarchy differences and rationalize.
Data Visualization
• Visualize application dimensions with application views• Visualize requests to analyze change impact before you
commit
• None
Packaged Integration
• Pre-built application adapters for push button sync• Custom adapter offers open interface for all other
applications
• Generic, open interface designed to transform data on export• Application templates accelerate integration, but stop short of push
button sync
Tailored Consumption
• Default views provide WYSIWYG understanding of connected apps
• Swap dimension instances within apps to bind to scenarios as needed
• No concept of application views exists for registered applications• Use queries, filters & export profiles to build targeted extracts
Security • Out of the box role-based access control, & single sign-on• Administrators specify allowed actions to secure access to
viewpoints. Business users access data through viewpoints.
• Native or externalized IDM users and groups• Native or external authentication. Single sign-on.• Node access groups govern secure data access (read, write)
Custom Business Logic
• Less relevant. EPM cloud app logic built into adapters• Configurable, custom app adapters & system checks
• Custom JavaScript and formulas• Inherited and derived (calculated) properties
Data Types • Hierarchies and lists • Hierarchies only
Change Requests • Requests are foundational units of change• Download/Upload items from file for bulk updates
• DRG Requests for change & remediation. • Load items from file for bulk changes. Action scripts too.
Data Governance • Requests are building blocks of change• Built-in visualization for impact analysis• Detailed request audit
• Interactive or workflow changes. Request & transaction history. • Multi-stage, model-driven workflows• Workflow model effectiveness analytics dashboard
