Design and configuration work focused on EPBCS for planning, FCCS for financial close and consolidation, and ARCS for account reconciliation, alongside Oracle Financial Reports and Smart View to support reporting and analyst workflows.
Integrations were delivered through Oracle data management tooling to create a connected finance architecture, using Financial Data Quality Management and Data Relationship Management for master data governance, and Oracle Data Integrator to orchestrate data flows between Cloud ERP and EPM components. The architecture emphasized cloud native EPM modules interacting with the Fusion general ledger and subledgers to enable a single source of truth for planning, consolidation and reconciled financials.
Governance and process workstreams centered on master data management, finance close orchestration and consolidation controls, with systems analyst resources in McLean, VA driving configuration and ongoing EPM administration. The program required mapping of GL structures to planning and consolidation dimensions, standardized close and reconciliation procedures, and role based access to Oracle Cloud ERP and EPM artifacts to support ongoing financial planning and reporting.
