Overview

To maximize profitability, a business must be able to accurately measure, allocate, and manage costs and revenue.

Oracle Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management is an analytic software tool that manages the cost and revenue allocations that are necessary to compute profitability for a business segment, such as a product, customer, region, or branch. Profitability and Cost Management enables you to use cost decomposition, consumption-based costing and scenario-playing to measure profitability for effective planning and decision support.

Profitability and Cost Management is accessed through Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Workspace. As the Web client for Profitability and Cost Management, EPM Workspace enables you to access and interact with other installed software, including the following:

• Oracle Hyperion Planning

• Oracle Hyperion Reporting and Analysis

• Oracle Hyperion Financial Management

• Third-party applications, such as Microsoft Excel
