Elevate analytics for better decision making

Organizations using standalone transaction reports for back-office functions have long been stymied by the lack of multidisciplinary reporting for more strategic analysis. It can be difficult, for example, to determine revenue dollars per headcount when working with individual headcount reports from HR and revenue reports from finance. It is also difficult to display the results and recommended actions on a dashboard.

Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse (FAW) can eliminate these issues. This family of prebuilt analytics applications provides line-of-business users with ready-to-use actionable insights at the point of need to improve decision-making. FAW includes a prebuilt data model with integration to Oracle cloud applications that enables rapid deployment and quick time to value.

Working closely with Oracle, KPMG implements an initial, fit for purpose, cost-effective strategic analytic solution utilizing FAW in a few weeks—rather than the years it would take to build this capability from scratch. We accomplish this through our proprietary approach, KPMG Powered Enterprise, a simple, low-risk project approach that includes a preconfigured Oracle cloud solution based on industry specific leading practices for each individual application.

Powered Enterprise encompasses all aspects of your organization’s business, including processes, people, service delivery, technology, performance management, and governance. Because we know all your different processes, we know the reporting and analytics required for each one. Using FAW, we align transaction reporting and strategic analytics to each process to provide quicker time to value.

Driving insights to action

As the graphic below shows, our work encompasses four stages:

• We begin with a strategy and roadmap that charts a path to enable data to better drive your decision-making. A maturity assessment identifies analytics opportunities and priorities. Then we provide an interative, phased roadmap for short-, mid-, and long-term reporting and analytics recommendations.
• At the transactional reporting level, we use leading-practice prebuilt content from our Powered Approach for Oracle Cloud to accelerate validation, identify gaps, and determine what additional customized reports are required.
• At the strategic analytics level we leverage FAW to pull together data from multiple data sources to quickly provide a cross-functional analytic solution that provides users insights to drive action.
• Finally, at the advanced analytics level, we incorporate predictive and prescriptive analytics that use both internal and external data to enhance and automate decision making.

During the first four weeks of our approach, we develop a specific plan to move your organization’s analytic capability from basic transactional reporting through to predictive and prescriptive analysis. Working with the Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse, we add value quickly by providing answers to your most critical questions—relating to your specific industry and/or business requirement (ESG, collections, turnover, etc.)—to give you the insights you need to take quick action.

From What happened? to What do you want to happen?

Achieving success with KPMG and Oracle

From the beginning of an Oracle Cloud implementation, Oracle Fusion Analytics Warehouse empowers organizations to make decisions quickly based on actionable insights. Line-of-business leaders can gain immediate access to information through desktop dashboards or mobile devices. Before walking into a branch location, for example, you can retrieve a financial analysis on your mobile device, based on your geographic location, to immediately prepare you for the meeting. Equally important, all data is integrated with your Oracle cloud applications, providing the ability to quickly take action.
