The above picture shows the terminology that is now in use by Oracle. This makes a Patch in the traditional EPM sense equal to a Patch Set Update (PSU), and a Release (e.g. 11.1.2.2) being a combination of Product Version and Patch Set.
As you may be aware, Oracle have now created a KB article that covers the recommended patches for main product areas (with HPCM and DRM being exceptions)
The above article (and at page 27 of thelifetime support doc) also introduce the concept of Hyperion Products on Premier Support being only supported for:-
It is not clear if Oracle Support are actually enforcing the above, but they could presumably stop the clock on a support SR until the environments are upgraded/patched.
The tables below represent the current known state of play as at 31-Jan-14 split by release and searches based on a regular Win2008R2 based install. I've included direct links to the related product simple search page or you can use them to search for other combinations:-
At EPM Infra we provide a range of Technical Services ranging from overall Oracle Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) Technical Architecture/Integration services to Mangement of Client Website/SharePoint Hosting (and Website Design).
Please checkout our services in more detail but at a high level they cover the following 4 areas:
We are Oracle Certified Data Relationship Management (DRM) Implementation Specialists, but also highly skilled in the newer Enterprise Data Manager (EDM) Cloud Services, and migration from one to the other.
Integration of DRM/EDMcs published output into likes of E-Business Suite, Fusion Cloud, EPM Cloud, ServiceNow.
Whether it be Oracle's Financial Data Quality Manager (FDM) classic, FDMEE, ERPi, Oracle Data Integrator (ODI), classic Load Rules, or custom compiled C# to load journals to HFM directly via the API, we have many years of experience in leveraging the right tool to get your data into, out of, and between the various EPM components and other systems.
Everything these days is going Cloud and there is even more need for Integration... whether it be "EPM Automate", direct REST API calls to EPBCS, or setup of the EPM Agent, we can help.
We have assisted some of the largest multi-nationals with this, including M&G, ABK, Honda Europe, HSBC, BT, Lloyd Banking Group, Schroders, Old Mutual, Guardian News Media and many others across many business sectors.
Somewhat depreciated now that the cloud is logical choice for many, but if you still want your legacy on-prem or PaaS EPM to be supported, quick and configurable we can help with:
Not everyone knows about Web hosting, Content Management Systems, Domain Name Servers, Email mailboxes & forwarding, Domain name registration, etc. but may still want to have a web presence and team collaboration tools.
To bridge the gap we offer our skills in these areas to deal with the hosting companies on your behalf, and manage this vital area.
We can also help to create a website based upon the popular Joomla or Wordpress Content Management Systems which empowers you as end users to be able to edit the content of your website via a simple on-line editor while leaving the structural framework to us.
EPM Infra Ltd was incorporated in early 2013 by Dave Hogg to facilitate a return to the Freelance Consultancy Marketplace after several years as an employee of ReportSource, Deloitte, and Edgewater Ranzal.
The idea being to offer high quality technical assistance and support of the Oracle EPM / Hyperion suite (and the IT environment within which it works) to a wide range of clients across multiple sectors at a more competitive price point than obtaining such service via a typical large generic consultancy or system integrator.
Dave is an experienced consultant who since 2005 has been assisting many clients with their Oracle Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) Hyperion tools such as:-
Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) - Enterprise Consolidation
Hyperion Planning (HP) - Planning & Forecasting
Essbase (ASO/BSO) - OLAP Multi Dimensional Analytics
Financial Data quality Manager (FDM) - end-user managed Financial data mapping & loading
Data Relationship Manager (DRM) - Enterprise 'Single version of the truth' Master Data
Hyperion Profitability & Cost Management (HPCM) - Rule based Cost/Profit allocation
Foundation components (HSS, FR, WA, Workspace) - The backbone of the Hyperion system
ERPi - Now called FDMEE (FDM Enterprise Edition) in the latest release to get data directly from ERP systems into the likes of HFM/Planning.
Before all that Hyperion stuff Dave was a time served IT techie, having worked with PCs, Unix systems, Networks and Database since the 80's at BT,
