CIBC Mellon | Banking and Financial Services | 1800 | $423M | Canada | Oracle | Oracle Essbase | Analytics and BI | 2019 | n/a | In 2019, CIBC Mellon implemented Oracle Essbase for Analytics and BI to centralize multidimensional financial reporting and support finance and reporting business functions. Oracle Essbase serves as the analytic engine for budgeting, data aggregation, and dimensional analysis across the organization, with the implementation documented as Oracle Essbase and positioned to support business users and reporting stakeholders. The Oracle Essbase deployment emphasized multidimensional modeling, data mapping, and data validation capabilities typical of Analytics and BI platforms. Implementation artifacts included test scripts, traceability matrices, and mock-up test data to validate data mapping and cube calculations, while user guides were created to onboard business users to Oracle Essbase functionality. Integrations were explicitly established with Oracle 11g as the underlying database layer and with SAP Business Object for reporting consumption, and testing workflows were managed through HP ALM v11. Operational coverage for the solution spanned unit testing with development teams and user acceptance testing with business stakeholders, with delivery and access via standard web browsers and Microsoft Office integration through SharePoint for documentation and distribution. Program governance combined Agile, Waterfall, DevOps, and hybrid delivery practices at the program level, with a Senior Test Lead coordinating test strategy, test plans, regression, system integration and end to end testing. Governance processes included daily project status meetings, documented test exit reports, preservation of test artifacts for upper management, and the creation of training materials and presentation briefings to support rollout and ongoing support of Oracle Essbase. | |

CIBC Mellon | Banking and Financial Services | 1800 | $423M | Canada | SAP | SAP Business Objects XI R3.1 | Analytics and BI | 2019 | n/a | In 2019, CIBC Mellon deployed SAP Business Objects XI R3.1 as its Analytics and BI platform to centralize reporting and data validation workflows. The implementation was managed at a program level, with coordination of projects executed in Agile, Waterfall, DevOps, and hybrid delivery models by a senior test leadership function that drove cross-project test planning and execution. SAP Business Objects XI R3.1 was configured to support core BI capabilities including scheduled reporting, ad hoc reporting, dashboarding, and semantic layer or universe design for business-friendly data access. Test activities emphasized data mapping and data validation across report objects, with formalized test artifacts such as test strategies, test plans, traceability matrices, test scripts, and scripted functional, regression, system integration and end to end test cases. The implementation integrated explicitly with Oracle Essbase and an Oracle 11g relational source for data feeds, and it leveraged Microsoft Office 365 and SharePoint for documentation and user guides. Test management and defect tracking were executed through HP ALM v11, while delivery and user access relied on standard web browsers such as Internet Explorer and Google Chrome for consumption of SAP Business Objects XI R3.1 content. Governance was operationalized through daily project status meetings, coordinated unit testing with development teams and UAT with business stakeholders, and maintained formal test exit reports and documentation custody for senior management. The testing lead produced structured deliverables including defect logs, status reports, test metrics and presentation materials to support rollout governance and ongoing operational support. | |
