Keeping up with EPM Cloud

If you’ve been keeping up with the latest EPM patch notes, you’ll notice Oracle are introducing more and more AI features into EPM, across all business processes.   While this is exciting to see, it can be hard to stay on top of the AI features and know which require configuration, as well as what the business benefits are.
