Unify Your ERP and EPM Data with Enterprise Data Management

Many organizations view metadata governance as something to address after their ERP or EPM implementation is complete. The reality is that governance decisions made during project planning have a lasting impact on data quality, user adoption, reporting consistency, and long-term supportability. What begins as a simple chart of accounts, cost center hierarchy, or organizational structure can quickly become a complex web of manual processes and competing sources of truth if governance is not established early.

This session explores how Oracle Enterprise Data Management (EDM) can be positioned as a foundational component of an ERP and EPM transformation, rather than an afterthought. Attendees will learn how EDM can be used from the first design workshop to establish ownership, define governance processes, manage metadata requirements, and create a controlled framework for enterprise change.

Learning Objectives: 

1. Explain the value of establishing enterprise data governance at the beginning of an ERP and EPM transformation and understand the risks of treating metadata management as a post-implementation activity.
2. Identify how Oracle Enterprise Data Management (EDM) can serve as the system of record for enterprise metadata across ERP, EPM, and other business applications throughout the project lifecycle.
3. Design a governance framework for charts of accounts, cost centers, entities, departments, and reporting hierarchies that supports both implementation and long-term operational needs.
