Oracle Planning & Budgeting Cloud Service (PBCS) is Oracle's cloud solution for planning, budgeting and forecasting. The tool's flexibility helps integrate financial and operational planning processes and improve business forecasting.

The benefits of a planning solution

  1. Integration of departmental plans into one environment
  2. Plan all desired scenarios, including: budget, rolling forecast, prognosis, budget, multi-year plan, what-if
  3. Driver-based planning and budgeting
  4. Direct variance reporting and analysis
  5. Shortening plancycles
  6. Efficiency improvement of the planning process

The benefits of Oracle PBCS

Oracle PBCS helps your organization more easily direct the entire planning process. The cloud solution has a workflow functionality that can ensure, via task cards, that accountability for data entry, calculation and justification is clearly assigned to budget holders. Users are supported via unambiguous input and control forms and business rules and can easily use realization figures or other scenarios themselves as a starting point for their planning process. Because the input is automatically aggregated, the finance organization continuously has an integral view of the planning process.

Other benefits of Oracle PBCS include:

  • full integration with various ERP systems
  • minimal support from IT
  • no major investment in hardware
  • flexibly scale up as needed
  • automatic upgrades to the latest version
