Oracle EDM
Oracle Enterprise Data Management
Adapt and respond to change faster and more effectively by managing your master data, whether migrating an application to the cloud; managing the effects of mergers and acquisitions; or reconciling metadata differences across business functions and applications.
Connect disparate enterprise applications:
-
Connect easily using application adapters - Connect both Oracle and non-Oracle business applications using dedicated application or universal adapters. Use simple wizards to bring in applications.
-
Import dimensions – Import lists or hierarchies from contributing applications. Save time without having to validate data on entry, even with dirty data.
-
Validate viewpoints - Improve the quality of data within an application or business domain by validating separate perspectives, called viewpoints.
-
Synchronize with REST APIs - Synchronize enterprise data by integrating with applications using full-featured, standards-based, RESTful interfaces.
Manage changes to enterprise master data elements:
-
Streamline requests - Create new or change existing enterprise data, relationships, and attributes with requests in an easy-to-understand shopping cart interface.
-
Validate data immediately – Validate nodes and hierarchies during the request process using configurable system checks and packaged or custom application validations.
-
Visualize the impact of changes - Understand the impact of changes before committing by modeling and visualizing each change request and associated actions against the target structure(s).
-
Simplify submissions - Ensure consistent submissions and commitment against target viewpoints with a single request for submitting new items and changes to existing ones.
Collaborate and coauthor in real time:
-
Involve coauthors - Enhance a request by inviting collaborators as needed. Alerts keep everyone in sync by advising coauthors of changes.
-
Track activity with conversation threads – Collaborate using conversation threads to discuss issues, communicate points of view, and share feedback, either at an item or request level.
-
Tag participants - Speed up collaboration and get a collaborator’s attention as needed by using @ references to tag participants and issue real-time email notifications.
-
Grant granular permissions for data access - Maintain security with granular, permission-based access to applications, dimensions, and related data objects.
-
Streamline with automated workflow - Invite the right stakeholders to participate at the right time by leveraging an intelligent engine that combines knowledge of the request content, user permissions, authorized approvers, and request stage.
Rationalize differences across business perspectives:
-
Visualize with side-by-side comparisons - Visually compare alternate business perspectives, lists, or hierarchies, in a side-by-side layout. Understand issues such as missing nodes and relationships or property differences by comparing alternate hierarchies.
-
Use drag and drop to make changes – Harmonize alternate hierarchies and rationalize differences using drag-and-drop changes to viewpoints within and across applications. Build a change request or populate a comparison request automatically based on comparison results.
-
Save time with subscriptions - Use subscriptions to copy changes made in one business context automatically to a downstream application. Save time with auto-submit changes that don’t require human intervention.
Distribute changes to downstream applications:
-
Export dimensions - Provide dimensions and mappings to consuming applications. Integrate with one or more connections for registered applications or download to a file for consumption in target applications.
-
Download viewpoints – Collaborate, share, or conduct offline maintenance by downloading any viewpoint to a desktop file. Perform mass updates by reloading.
-
Automate integrations - Save time with full-featured REST API or the Oracle Cloud EPM Automate utility to script automated integrations with consuming applications.
-
Provide an audit trail - Provide transparency with the ability to browse, filter, and download detailed change histories for completed requests. Easily configure access for external auditors.
Key Benefits:
-
Accelerate cloud adoption - Migrate and map enterprise data elements and ongoing changes across public, private, and hybrid cloud environments from Oracle or third parties.
-
Align your enterprise applications – Support ongoing change management across all your applications with self-service enterprise data maintenance, sharing, and rationalization.
-
Speed business transformation - Drive faster business transformation through modeling merger and acquisition scenarios, reorganizations and restructurings, chart of accounts standardization, and redesign.
-
Gain a system of reference - Provide a system of reference for all your enterprise data across business domains.
