HP / HFM InteroperabilityAlignment of Processes

• Sharing Metadata and Data between Hyperion
  Planning and HFM
• Initial Sourcing of applications (metadata)
• Ongoing metadata management among these
  applications
• Primary metadata source is either a HP or HFM
  application, or other repository

HP Plan / Forecast data updates are used to
support reporting and analysis within HFM

Multiple Hyperion Applications

• Interoperability among multiple Hyperion
  applications
• Hyperion Essbase used as central data or metadata
  source
• Hyperion Essbase used for reporting/analysis or
  other business model
• Actual use case for De Lage Landen

• Essbase used for
• reporting/analysis, or other business model

Lifecycle / Application Management

• Interoperability between Single Product
  applications
• Different environments development, test
  production
• Initial Sourcing or ongoing changes (metadata
  data)
• Make change in one application, quickly update
  all applications
• Metadata source is either an application or the
  Hyperion Hub

Production

• Lifecycle Management - High customer requirement
• Positions well with the IT group during a sales
  cycle
