A closer look at Oracle EPM Enterprise Cloud Service

The EPM Enterprise Cloud Service allows you to deploy one of the following business processes:
Planning - Custom Planning, module-based Planning, and Free Form planning is supported to deliver instant value and greater productivity for business planners, analysts, and decision-makers across all lines of business.
Custom Planning enables a streamlined process-driven custom solution. Module-based Planning comes bundled with pre-packaged Capital, Financials, Projects, Strategic Modeling, and Workforce modules.

Profitability and Cost Management - this business process helps you manage the cost and revenue allocations that are necessary to compute profitability for a business segment, such as a product, customer, region, or branch.
