Customer Support Services White Papers

Xstrata Consolidates Reporting, Streamlines Change Management, and Gains Visibility Into Best Practices

Overview Xstrata wanted to centralize management of 32 global financial consolidations annually across five business units, approximately 2,000 entities, and multiple ERP systems with many different ledgers and complete financial consolidation, budgeting, and reporting seven days after month's end, while gaining a real-time view of each business unit. The challenge was to capitalize on the scalability and breadth of functionality in the Hyperion suite to manage continuous transformation in an organization that has grown annual revenues from US$1 billion to US$28 billion in eight years. Xstrata upgraded from standalone versions of Oracle's Hyperion Enterprise, used successfully since 1998, to a single instance of Oracle's Hyperion Financial Management with about 200 users.
