- Decentralized general ledgers across the globe
- Hundreds of locations to perform HFM data loads
- Sending data to multiple destinations during the load process
- Timely process due to volume of data and destination exports
- Internet connectivity difficult in remote locations during close
Solution
- Build a FDMEE process that supports a simplistic process to load ~200 FDMEE locations
- Provide notification of status throughout the data loads to Hyperion Admin and individual users
- Connect directly to general ledgers where possible
- Automate FDMEE data loading process with email notifications for direct integration and flat file locations
Trigger data loads via Outlook inbox leveraging parameter files
- Send email rendered Intersection Validation and unmapped member reports
- Send Trial Balance validation reports to individual locations
Benefits
- Allows Hyperion Admin to control the load process
- Provides end-users with limited internet connectivity a simplistic, user friendly way to load HFM and Essbase with email notifications
- Requires appropriate security rights for both FDMEE, HFM and Essbase to perform tasks
- FDMEE notifies users throughout the process of completed steps and failures (Unmapped members or Intersection Validation Report) via email
- Consolidations and Validation Reports are automatically triggered for initial sign-off
- Saved users hours of manually loading and running processes in FDMEE, HFM and Essbase
