1st Hyperion Profitability and Cost Management "Management Ledger" in the Benelux

Sep 2017 - Mechelen | Breda
Cloudshill Consulting delivered -in a joint effort with Tentive Consulting- the first Oracle HPCM application in the Benelux that is using HPCM's "Management Ledger" framework, Oracle's newest solution for setting up your corporate operational and financial allocations (Oracle).
