What project are you working on now? And how do you feel it will affect your organization or the EPM community?

I'm working on a project in conjunction with our Planning resources where we are leveraging Groovy to meet a number of requirements within Oracle FCC. This provides us with additional flexibility that we previously did not have, and which can be brought to bear on future projects. I'm looking forward to sharing some of these with the broader community in due time.

Share your most relevant trick of the trade.

Using Task Manager for automation - this has been a go to toolset for just about every implementation.
