Hi Friend,
Given the time sensitive nature of this matter, I am re-sending a message sent last week regarding making an informed decision on where to move your current Oracle Hyperion EPM platform before support ends (Dec 2021),
On a related note, we are also in the process of collating views and lessons learned on this topic matter across Oracle Hyperion EPM customers through a brief poll. We believe the results can provide valuable insights and information in helping one another through this upcoming key decision.
If you were interested in receiving a copy of the results, all we ask in return is for your anonymous participation in this poll. We are aiming to complete the poll by August 14, 2020.
Our brief poll may be found here. It should take no more than 5 minutes.
We plan to share the results of the poll once we have had the opportunity to compile the results and our findings .
Contents of the original email per below:

Organizations who leverage Oracle Hyperion EPM for financial consolidation, business planning, reporting and analytic needs are at a critical crossroad. Version 11.1.2.4 Premier support ends as of December 2021 – this means:
- Use of unsupported software has an impact on internal controls / more costly to maintain
- No further critical security patches will be released [increase cyber security risk]
- No fixes or patches in response to new bugs or technical issues will be released
- No additional compatibility certifications will be issued – this can lead to usability issues
- No further enhancements / innovations to the platform
The go-forward path is not straight forward:
- The next on-premise version is a terminal release with missing features from the current version
- Oracle EPM Cloud is not the same software as Oracle Hyperion On-Premise
Due to the potential amount of effort and costs associated with executing the go-forward path, time is of essence – understanding options available and its impact to the organization will be key to making an informed decision.
