Oracle has announced Oracle Cloud EPM for Sustainability, a new solution in Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) that helps organisations measure and manage sustainability initiatives.
The new solution is designed to help business leaders gain the insights they need to make progress on sustainability goals by connecting data, plans, and targets across their organisation, and by modeling multiple scenarios to optimise outcomes.
Environmental data is sourced from many locations, business units, and systems within an organisation and from suppliers and business partners. It is often manually consolidated in spreadsheets, so reporting and analysing this data can be a slow, inefficient, and error-prone process. To address these challenges, improve the reporting process, and efficiently and accurately compile the information needed for emerging reporting guidelines, organisations need to leverage a purpose-built solution with embedded automation, AI, and machine learning.
Commenting on this, Oracle group vice president for product management, Hari Sankar, said: “Many organisations are beginning to treat sustainability reporting requirements with the same rigor, governance, and technical expertise as financial reporting.
“With Oracle Cloud EPM for Sustainability, our customers can leverage a trusted solution that embeds AI and other advanced technologies to help improve efficiency, deliver insights, promote compliance, and effectively manage their progress on sustainability initiatives.”
Oracle Cloud EPM for Sustainability helps organisations accelerate their sustainability efforts. The new solution will enable organisations to:
