At most organizations, the financial plan is done separately from the sales plans, the operational plans, the strategic plans... and rarely do they ever talk. In an organization optimized for agility and success, every aspect of the planning process flows from the one before. The strategic plan drives targets down to the financial plan. The financial plan gives budget goals to the sales plan.

The sales plan drives need for the operational plan. The operational plan analyzes constraints and then feeds back up the chain.

In this session, we'll talk through Connected Planning (sometimes known as Integrated Business Planning), the value it provides, and how to get started creating it. Connected Planning in Oracle is possible... and we'll show you the way.

Digital transformation is critical to win market share, meet rising customer expectations, and navigate unprecedented volatility in the global economy.

The ability to make data-driven decisions is key, but so too is the capability to modernize commercial operations and enhance employee productivity with business-critical technology investments. Balancing these forward-thinking priorities with the daily demands of running a successful business is no easy task and having the right foundation of people, process, technology, and systems integrations in place is critical.

Worthington Industries is a long time Oracle ERP customer with a history of innovative delivery of technology solutions improve business performance. With a goal on beginning an innovative journey from On Premise solutions to Cloud applications, Worthington identified areas of return on investment that could be assigned to the deployment of Cloud applications in a phased approach. One such area was supply chain planning.

In a market where products are highly sensitive to price indexes, Worthington turned to Oracle Demand and Supply Planning Cloud to best managing the timing of production to align with the exact demand for its products from the markets where Worthington operates. With best in class planning tools and a order promising integration between GOP Cloud and Oracle EBS Order Management, Worthington has delivered the tools its business users need plan and promise its products according to the organizations goals on profitability.

Out-of-date, aging Demand and Supply Planning tools Demantra + ASCP flanked EBS R12. Disconnected, not fully utilized, and were only known by a handful of employees. It was identified that there were few new hire candidates that had experience with the aging toolsets. A natively integrated demand, supply, and S&OP solution on a common platform to improve communication between the distinct areas of supply planning. By adding GOP Worthington is capable of providing reliable delivery expectations to their customers.

Transitioning from EBS to Cloud isn’t an upgrade, but Argano has tools that facilitate an upgrade approach verses a greenfield implementation.

This approach allows you to take advantage of existing EBS configurations and data to expedite the transition while still allowing for modifications when warranted or desired.

Whether you're looking to start an implementation of Oracle Cloud HCM or are already live, one of the key metrics to determine a successful deployment is whether you achieved enterprise-wide system adoption. This is accomplished by not focusing solely on technology but taking an approach that revolves around process and usability. You already know how intuitive Oracle Cloud is, but guiding employees and managers to the exact path they need is the key to adoption.

You can also safeguard your system against normal resource attrition through embedding all of your HRIS processes into an admin Journey portal. Long-term success is built upon the inclusion of Oracle Cloud Journeys, components of the Oracle ME product suite, and an included pre-built transformation and change management offering powered by Argano. During this breakout, the Argano team will provide an overview of our proven Journeys toolset to provide intuitive experiences to all workers who touch the Oracle Cloud application.
