Oracle Cloud helps businesses to understand the root causes behind costs and revenues

Oracle Profitability and Cost Management Cloud (PCMCS) enables business users to understand the root causes behind costs and revenues. Users can quickly and easily determine the profitability of customers, products, geographies, and sales channels, and take action to improve profitability and lower costs.

"What you don't know about where your business is making and losing money can really hurt you. In today's high-paced and increasingly competitive global business climate, it's essential that your organization focuses resources and cash on the right priorities," group vice president of enterprise performance management, Oracle, Hari Sankar said in a press statement.

"PCMCS enables organizations to easily identify their profit winners and address inefficiencies, ultimately improving business agility and profitable revenue growth, while minimizing costs," he added.

Built for the cloud, Oracle PCMCS delivers new capabilities and innovation in the cloud, while also leveraging best practices from Oracle's on-premises offering, Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management.

The cloud solution delivers pre-built reports including profit curves, scatter plots, and traceability, and includes features for detailed financial modeling and ad hoc reporting. Oracle PCMCS handles large data sets, and easily integrates with multiple Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, as well as with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) Cloud and on-premises offerings.
