been validated against the current operating plan. On the operations side,
supply chain and manufacturing managers can reconcile current operating plans
against updated financial targets and budgets.

the current operating forecast and cost of goods sold data to Oracle Hyperion
Planning. This operating forecast is delivered in monetary units and enables
financial analysts to identify any gaps between the financial plan and current
operating plan.

Demand Management, which enables a global demand planning process that senses
local demand changes, generates an accurate forecast and supports a
cross-functional consensus planning process.

the user interfaces from Hyperion Planning and Demantra so that new training or
re-implementation is not required.
