THURSDAY DEEP DIVE: Planning Track
Topic: Planning
Owner: Cameron Lackpour

Subtopic: Best Practices

Planning and Essbase are two arrows in the Oracle EPM quiver that are indelibly tied together - Essbase is the calculation and analytical heart of Planning; Planning is the incredibly popular application wrapped around Essbase. One could not exist without the other.

Yet when we EPM practitioners think about these two twinned tools, when they are sold to customers, when they are implemented for clients, and even when Essbase and Planning are presented at conferences it often seems as though they are two completely separate products. Ignoring the intertwined nature of the products lessens their power and utilization.

It's time to end this artificial separation.

Join Oracle Product Managers Gabby Rubin (Essbase) and Shankar Viswanathan (Planning) in a never-before, you'll-only-see-it-at-Kscope, OMG-they-are-actually-doing-it panel that let's you, the Best and Brightest Planning and Essbase practitioners (yes, you are the Best and Brightest because you are at Kscope14) ask just about any question you might have about current product features, where the two products are headed, and why the two products maybe do need to be separate, yet linked offerings.

What's happening with Essbase that will radically change the way we implement Planning? How is Planning driving the feature set of Essbase? What do you wish the two products would do better together?

This is our chance to understand how Oracle views and understands the products.
