Where are we today?

• Excel is the primary application for Budgeting and Forecasting

• MS Office is still the most common platform for month end

reporting

• Responding to business questions that need analysis and insight

takes time and is hard

• No one enjoys the budgeting and forecasting process

10

What Companies say to us?

“We need a platform that supports

our growth plans, through rolling

forecasts & KPI reporting”

“Our finance team is increasingly

tasked with contributing to strategy, as

well as meeting increasing demand for

operational insights, we can’t keep up”

”

“Our budgeting, forecasting and

management reporting processes

are Excel hell”

“80% of our time is spent talking

about the past and only 20% about

the future, we need to reverse this!”

”

11

Why are we still here?

• We don’t have time to implement a new solution we’re too busy

• We’re not complicated enough for a proper application

• Excel is really flexible, that’s what we need

• It’s too expensive, we could never afford a new system

• We’re not sure about the Cloud, will my data be kept in Australia and

will it be secure?

There is a race to the Cloud – are you in it?

days

“Oracle PBCS was exactly what we wanted for our budgeting and planning processes. It is

easy to use and genuinely affordable for a mid-sized company, and we were able to

quickly roll it out across all our lines of business.”

Linda Ferguson, CFO, RedBalloon

RedBalloon’s Story

19

Main Roads Story

Challenges – Large, complex manual budgeting and forecast processes

that were delivered using disparate systems across the whole organisation

Outcomes

• An integrated system to leverage data and support our Oracle e-

Business suite, Human Resources, and Contract Management systems.

• Integration with the Enterprise Project Management System.

• Budget Management improvements: Structured budget processes and

ad hoc transactional updates to the budget.

• Capturing forecasts against Budget using Projects and GL codes either

directly in a new system and/or by integration with another system.

"We chose Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service as we were struggling to find the

time and resources to upgrade or modify existing systems. Oracle Cloud ensures we are

always up to date and can quickly take advantage of new features. Oracle Cloud has given

the finance team the ability to respond to ever changing reporting and planning needs quickly

with minimal IT involvement.“ Damien Kelly, Project Manager, Main Roads

20

Powercor Story

Challenges – Excel and manual processes were used across the business,

no standardisation between departments, no common reporting platform, no

budget to upgrade Hyperion, needed a new approach

Outcomes

• Automated, decentralised Planning and Budgeting solution

• Migration to the latest version in the Cloud, no more upgrades or

patching required to keep them up to date and relevant

• Single version of the truth for reporting

• Consistent, standardised approach across all departments

• Removed the cost of IT personnel and data centre services

• Flexibility built in to manage a changing business model

21

Based on our experience of

implementing Oracle EPM and BI

Cloud solutions over the last 3 years

we have defined a suite of Fixed

Scope Offerings. At this stage they

cover:

• PBCS - complete

• FCCS – with designers

• ARCS – with designers

• DVCS and BICS – with designers

Coming over the coming months, are

EPRCS and PCMCS

Fixed Scope Solutions

22

Customers are more

comfortable to buy if they are

convinced that what we offer

works and has been done by

others before them, they are

after all buying a promise.

Having a pre-packed solution

and methodology to support

this provides confidence that

we are able to deliver what they

need and the outcome will be

Quicker, Better and Cheaper

than their current approach.

Business Insight – Starting the Journey

How do we get

there?

Where do we

want to be?

Where are we

now?

When you don’t know where to start M-Power’s Business Insight is the answer. Our

Business Insight looks at your current planning process and identifies the gap

between industry leaders and your organisation so you can plan your future.

Insight Req Design Build Test Deploy

24

Business Insight ApproachStarting a project with a Business Insight diagnostic process provides a structured approach to give organisations

a clearer understanding of the current situation, details what can be achieved and provides a roadmap and plan to

deliver that outcome.

Where are we now?Where do we want to

be?How do we get there?

• Review and document current

state

• Assessment of processes and

procedures against industry

leaders and M-Power’s best

practice approach

• Review existing applications /

reports / models including how

these relate to the Chart of

Accounts / how Actual data is

populated into them

• Workshops to confirm what

success means (short and long

term)

• Gap analysis between the

current state and the desired

future state

• Opportunity Areas – gaps in best

practice are documented along

with enablers (e.g. technology,

change in process) and inhibitors

(e.g., resource constraints)

• Gap analysis against M-Power’s

Xcelerate Templates

• Review, challenge and prioritise –

M-Power experts facilitate

workshops to challenge

opportunity areas and prioritise

based on time cost and ease of

implementation.

• High level requirements

document and roll out plan which

will include:

• Scope in and out, cost of change

program against the expected

benefits, Timeline, Project and

Resource Plan internal and

external, Project Risks

Feedback on the Insight Process

25

“KCGM identified a need to improve our

processes in planning, budgeting and

forecasting, but as we have some very

complex requirements, we required

some guidance around how we could

implement systems that would improve

the integrity of the output, whilst allowing

flexibility for user input. The Business

Insight provided an opportunity to review

our business requirements, and assisted

us to develop a plan that would meet

these needs into the future.”

Helen Robinson, Business &

Administration Manager, KCGM

“Due to changes in the organisation over

the last few years, our existing planning

solution was not meeting

the expectations of the business. There

was general acceptance that change was

required, but there was a lack of clarity

surrounding what change, how it should

be enacted and what the benefits to the

business would be. M-Power’s Business

Insight provided us with a clear

understanding of what we needed, how it

would benefit the business and gave us a

plan to deliver this.”

Ed McGough, MIS Manager, RAC

26

M-Power also provides a range of functional solutions that are

focused on specific areas of the business extending the coverage

of PBCS from finance to other departments, for example:

• Strategic Workforce Planning

• Sales Forecasting

• Asset Maintenance Forecasting

• Project Financial Planning

• Student Load Modelling

• Stockpile Modelling
