Flexibility

Why HPCM? For These Key Requirements…

Analyze different chargeback approaches to yield optimal mix of services versus costs incurred by the entity.

Rapidly evolve methodologies as the business changes.

Provide What-If capabilities to assess impact of key business decisions on bottom line

Provide key stakeholders confidence in the numbers produced and methodologies employed to ensure compliance.

Achieve this through meaningful allocations, automation, and system controls.

Define consistent allocation and charge back methodology across all management cycles.

Create consistent comparisons when reviewing and updating methodology result and planning for future management cycles.

Give units the detail costs they incur for the service consumed.

Compare effectiveness of internal unit services with those of external providers to ensure efficiency.

Allow LOB managers to understand cost to serve and profitability results.

HPCM Modules Comparison

Standard Profitability stands out as the module that caters for highly complex allocations models and offers the widest range of reporting capabilities.

Detailed Profitability stands out as the “heavy-lifter” of the 3 modules, enabling users to define simple allocation models with a wide range of dimensions and metadata granularity.

Management Ledger combines both the metadata granularity as well as the logics complexity enabling users to define custom models without restricting or limiting the level of detail required for reporting.

Standard Profitability – Assignments & Rules

Rules can be defined as combinations of Level 0 and Upper level members.

Direct assignments can be created only between Level0 Members on both Source and Target stages.

You can have unlimited number of rules/assignments.

Direct assignments and Assignment rules are defined per stage using only Dimensions within that Stage

Rules be applied selectively based on Business requirements.

Assignments and rules selections can differ by POV.Users can define or modify rules and assignments in HPCM web. Artifacts can be loaded in bulk through Import Profiles from the Staging Area and can be fully automated through HPCM batch client.

You should define a global context before defining rule sets for the selected POV.

Stage definition depends entirely on your source and destination tables and the selections of column types.

Reporting requirements should define the Model data tables. If these should change, a completely new setup is necessary.

Driver dimensions must be defined based on model logics, driver data granularity and driver exceptions

Deploying the Source, Contribution and Destination Essbase databases is required only for reporting purposes. All calculations for the Detailed profitability model will reside in the repository.

In order to enable the data transfer between the Detailed Profitability HPCM application and the Essbase applications, an ODBC must be created on the application server and the DSN must be called PROFITABILITY_DS. After creating the ODBC it is advised to perform a Profitability service restart.

HPCM vs Planning/Essbase

HPCM Planning/Essbase

Designed specifically for cost allocations and scenario modelling.

Designed for use in the Budgeting and Forecasting processes.

Allocations are designed in a modelling environment; and Calc Scripts/Allocation SQL scripts/MDX scripts are generated automatically based on Stages/Maps/Rules defined.

Allocations can be done through the use of Calc Scripts/Business Rules which must be developed and maintained manually, or via Calc Manager (Designer).

No Essbase/SQL/MDX knowledge required to maintain/ redesign allocations as these are built automatically by the system.

Essbase knowledge required to maintain allocations(manually changing the scripts or building them).

All allocation logic, intermediate steps and results are visible through the web interface. (allocations, driver definition, driver intersection, rules, rule sets and traceability)

Only the results of allocations are visible through the web interface. (there is no out of the box traceability option available in Planning or Essbase).

Allocation validation immediately available (balancing reports, traceability)

Allocation validation must be manually written. Audit must be custom.

Optimized for multi-step, multi-stage, highly granular, reciprocal, simple and complex allocations.

Optimized for simpler, single or reduced step allocations & calculations.
