Tuning Enterprise Performance since 2006
Over the last couple of posts, we walked through what the EDM AI Change Assistant is, how it can be helpful, and seen some of what it can do so far. If experience has taught us anything, it’s that Oracle will continue to develop the tool and add additional features over time. I think the […]
Last post we covered what the EDM AI Change Assistant is and how it can help less technical administrators. Let’s face it, most people who work in EDM day-to-day aren’t doing that as their sole function in the business. Most likely, they are administrators for multiple financial applications and have many responsibilities beyond just getting […]
This will be a three part series covering the EDM Change Management Assistant. I was able to see a demo of this in action and it really changed my opinion on how useful it can be for administrators. The past several years, working in EDM meant mastering the user interface; knowing the various shortcuts to […]

We have several system dimensions like Movement and Data Source to play with along with the four Custom dimensions. But forcing data into places it doesn’t belong can lead to a […]
In the November 2025 update for Oracle EPM, we will see some additional changes to the Data Integration Actions menu. A new “Other” actions folder will be added with the Report Execution and System Maintenance Tasks options. This is another quality of life update that brings us one step closer to parity between Data Integration […]
In Dr. Spencer Johnson’s 1998 bestseller, Who Moved My Cheese?, four characters navigate a maze in search of cheese. The book’s main themes are that change is inevitable and that we must anticipate, adapt, and embrace it to be successful in work and life. Fast forward to the 10.25 Oracle EPM update, and we find […]
By now, most of the world knows what EDM is and what it does. Even though EDM has been out for several years at this point, I believe its strategic potential is being overlooked.
