Successful migration from Oracle Hyperion to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure of a global player de electronics industry

Our customer, a world leader in the electronics industry, has entrusted the expertise of SQORUS and its EPM division Smarthys, to successfully complete its Oracle Hyperion to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

The challenge

Moderniser Oracle Hyperion Financial Management

Faced with increasingly critical financial closings, our customer was faced with an increasingly
worrying situation: its
financial consolidation system Oracle Hyperion Financial Management (HFM) was becoming unstable, jeopardizing the quality and timeliness of monthly and quarterly closings:

  • Operational risk: frequent crashes threatening compliance with regulatory deadlines
  • Strategic choice: modernize the existing solution or switch to a completely different SaaS solution
  • Continuity constraint: need to maintain financial fences throughout migration

The real challenge was to transform the technical infrastructure while preserving business processes, without disrupting the Group’s financial calendar.

Background & objectives

Paving the way for next-generation Cloud integration

SQORUS logo

For several years, the company had been using Oracle Hyperion Financial Management version 11.1.2.4, hosted on an aging in-house infrastructure. Monthly closings were becoming increasingly unstable, with frequent crashes, slow navigation and extended consolidation times. What’s more, the version used was no longer covered by Oracle support.

The main objectives of this migration were :

  • Migrate to the latest supported version of HFM
  • Modernize infrastructure by migrating to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)
  • Improve stability, performance and safety
  • Guarantee continuity of operations without impacting users

    The SQORUS solution

    A tailor-made strategy for a smooth migration

    Our methodological approach guarantees a safe and efficient transition to a modernized environment. After an in-depth analysis phase, SQORUS experts designed and implemented an approach structured in several phases:

    1. Complete audit of existing system

    • Detailed mapping of technical architecture
    • Analysis of configurations and customizations
    • Volume and performance evaluation
    • Identifying specific risks

    2. Target architecture design

    • Definition of an optimized architecture on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
    • Sizing adapted to performance needs
    • Setting up a high-availability strategy
    • Design of security and backup mechanisms

    3. Step-by-step migration

    • Creating a representative test environment
    • Technical migration to HFM 11.2 on OCI
    • Data transfer, metadata and consolidation rules
    • Reconfiguring interfaces with peripheral systems
    • In-depth non-regression tests

    4. Post-migration support

    • Non-regression testing and user acceptance testing on a pre-production environment
    • Gradual production start-up with reinforced supervision
    • Training for IT and Finance teams

    The results

    Bhe benefits of modernization of theEPM

    The concrete improvements achieved demonstrate the added value of a well-executed migration. Upgrading from Oracle Hyperion to OCI has enabled us to meet and even exceed our objectives:

    • No more crashesduring closing periods
    • Faster, smoother consolidation
    • Significantly more responsive navigationin the HFM interface
    • Amore stable, secure and scalable environment
    • Significantly reduced maintenance workload for the IT team

     

    Since migrating to OCI and upgrading our HFM, we’ve regained our composure during the closing process. No more crashes, faster consolidations, and smooth navigation at last. It’s a real relief for our Finance and IT teams.
