Platform Specialists Unveil the EPM Marketplace to Brought Clarity and Simplicity to the Enterprise Performance Management Service Space

New York, NY, February 04, 2014 – Financial performance management projects are notoriously difficult to plan and support, with businesses often concerned about where their money is being spent. Moving away from black box pricing and time consuming search for the right solution, Platform Specialists are looking to transform the EPM and Hyperion space with these new and straightforward offerings.

Leveraging the best software on the market, the EPM Marketplace (http://epmmarketplace.com) allows companies to pick a base package that suits their needs and then fully customize it to meet specific requirements. Core packages have been created based on the most beneficial and sought after requests from Platform Specialists‘ years of client experience. Offerings include:

Monthly financial close and budgeting systems support for HFM, Hyperion Planning, and the extended EPM toolset (http://epmmarketplace.com/closesupport/)

Pre-built Oracle Hyperion environments (http://epmmarketplace.com/planningvm/)

Pre-built Hyperion Planning Enterprise Labor and Salary Planning applications (http://epmmarketplace.com/laborplanning/)

Having launched in the fall of 2013, marketplace offerings have already been employed by a number of Fortune 500 clients who have in-house staff, but enjoy the hassle-free benefit of supplemental expertise and enablers. Mike Flynn, Associate Director of Financial Systems at a Medical Device Corporation, said the following about the process:

„Partnering with Platform Specialists has proved very beneficial to us. We utilize a number of Hyperion tools in our financial processes, including HFM and Planning, around which Platform Specialists provides us high quality Close and Budget process support. This has allowed our staff to remain flexible, focus on service to our clients, and ultimately operate in a more effective and efficient manner. Additionally, Platform Specialists provides us access to a depth and breadth of experience that we could not maintain in-house. Each of these benefits has allowed us to enhance the level of service we provide to our finance community.“

Platform Specialists have also put out an open invitation for other EPM partners and consultants to submit their own offerings. The ongoing goal is for the EPM Marketplace to add a wide range of best of breed applications and service packages. The offerings will allow companies to quickly and easily tailor a new project to meet their needs. To submit your offering, please visit the submission form at epmmarketplace.com.

Platform Specialists is a Hyperion and EPM systems consulting company headquartered in New York, NY. Alongside B2B project and implementation work, one of their aims is to streamline the EPM implementation process for businesses undertaking a new project.
