Excellus BlueCross BlueShield was able to integrate, test, and rollout EPMware in about six weeks, and the finance team saw an immediate improvement in its metadata management processes.
According to Patti Fingar, Finance Hyperion Administrator at Excellus BlueCross BlueShield, the most elemental benefit of implementing EPMware is that the team no longer has to rely on manual ticketing and email tracking to manage metadata requests.
“The logging and reporting allow us to quickly provide an internal audit with a listing of all of our requests and shows every step from submission to completion including approvals.”
EPMware’s notification module alerts users when there is a validation issue and provides details about the cause. The automated approval system takes the guesswork out of who has or hasn’t approved a change, significantly reducing the amount of time spent tracking down request approvals and speeding up deployment time.
Additionally, EPMware has eliminated the downtime the organization experienced whenever IT updated Hyperion applications manually, and seamless integration of the metadata process between Excellus’s Lawson ERP and Hyperion EPM means its business applications are always on the same page.
