Oracle EPCM · Banking · Healthcare

Cost and profitability models that hold up to a board, a regulator or a ministry.

We design Oracle Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management models for organizations where the number gets questioned: banks pricing against capital, and health systems costing care across hundreds of facilities.

Same logic, two industries: every cost traced to the decision it informs

If a manager can’t follow a number from the ledger to the decision, the decision gets made on opinion.
Why now

Many organizations already own EPCM. Few use it to decide anything.

PCM is the past

Oracle now ships its profitability features to EPCM. Classic PCM and Hyperion PCM models stay frozen while the platform moves on.

The license is often already paid

EPCM comes with the EPM Enterprise subscription. If you run Planning or Close on Enterprise, the cost engine is sitting unused.

The question is always why

Examiners, boards and budget committees want a number they can trace to its drivers, not a spreadsheet only one analyst understands.

Where we work

Two industries where the number has to survive scrutiny.

Banking

Profit after funding cost and capital

Most bank profitability reports stop at operating cost. Pricing and product decisions change once funding cost, expected loss and the capital charge land in the same model.

Healthcare and social security

Cost of care at system scale

A national health system can’t fund what it can’t cost. We build models that follow every peso or dollar from payroll and supplies to the service line, the medical unit and the program it serves.

Output: cost per service, per unit and per program that a budget committee can trace line by line.
PCM → EPCM

Redesign the model. Don’t just move it.

A lift-and-shift carries old allocation logic into a new platform. EPCM changes how architecture, dimensions and integration work, so the migration is the cheapest moment to fix the model.

Lift-and-shift
ArchitectureSame rule sets, same sequence, rebuilt by hand
DimensionsOld hierarchies copied, unused members included
IntegrationFlat-file loads kept as they were
OutcomeSame report, new login
Redesign with Asher
ArchitectureRules rebuilt around the decisions management actually makes
DimensionsCustomer, product, service line or unit at the grain the business uses
IntegrationLedger, operational and risk data loaded through the EPM platform
OutcomeCost and profit traceable to every driver
