Fewer tools to learn, less administration
Data Warehousing Strategy
Reporting and Analytics Strategy
Fewer integration points = less points of
failure
One version on the truth – across ERP, BI, EPM
One stop shop / one interface
Root cause analysis – Drill to Detail
Self-service financial reporting
Administer own changes
Less points of integration = less validation work
Workflow / Process Flows
Higher value activities
Hyperion versions prior to 9.3.1 must be migrated TWICE! Upgrades for version prior to 11 would first
have to upgrade to a supported version AND THEN upgrade to the current version.
Based on architecture and functionality changes, Hyperion implementation partners strongly
recommend a redesign of applications
You cannot transfer business rules and logic from Essbase to HFM, sometimes not even to Planning
Reports / templates developed in older versions of the Essbase Add-In must be re-written for
SmartView
“The decision to upgrade Hyperion is more akin to buying a house than buying a pair of shoes.”
“The complexity of the process is such that the recommendation is to NOT upgrade simply because
there is a new version.”
“Don’t forget to consider the ancillary supporting products as well. Not just HFM and Planning, but also
Essbase, FDM, HAL, and so on, and so on. There are enough moving pieces that we can’t use a single
rule of thumb and generically recommend whether to upgrade.”
