I’ve read a few articles this week on how integrations to MDM systems are supposed to work, only to open the article and realize I’ve been click baited with bogus marketing info. Feel my pain huh? I must say I do respect the scrappy hustle, and I still fall for it as well. So here’s some value (hopefully) to end your week.

Step 1: Add your PBCS Instance to EPMware’s application configuration.

Step 2: Click import and let EPMware import your hierarchy. EPMware is smart enough to figure out how to extract your hierarchy to build a baseline. Make a cappuccino.

Step 3: Create a request against your new hierarchy in EPMware, or just browse your metadata.

Step 4: Deploy your metadata from our Deployment Engine, and view your metadata in your PBCS application. Now go and enjoy that cappucino.

Deploy is successful

This specific example shows how fast we can deploy metadata to PBCS, but we also work with HFM, Essbase, and Planning hierarchies just as quickly. Layer in some property validations, derived properties, and workflow approvals to take the thought process out of rationalizing hierarchies. All of the features mentioned above are also available on the EPMware on-premise version, in fact they’re identical.

Does it sound too easy? That’s because it is. MDM and Data Governance should not be brain surgery, and at EPMware we’re continuously looking for new ways to make your life easier managing metadata with the Oracle Hyperion suite. If you’re interested in seeing more, or would like a free Proof of Concept with your organization’s metadata, please reach out to us at EPMware.

Special thanks to our consulting partners at Accelytics for helping us test this out.
