What is Oracle Fusion Cloud EPM?
Unified Planning, Financial Close & Analytics for Modern Finance Teams
What is Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management (EPM)?
Oracle Fusion Cloud Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) is Oracle’s unified, cloud-native platform that helps finance leaders plan, budget, forecast, and report with greater speed and precision. Cloud EPM brings financial, operational, and strategic data together—giving organizations the real-time visibility and intelligence needed to guide growth, respond to market changes, and accelerate performance.
In short: Oracle Cloud EPM helps businesses manage the business—not just operate it—through connected planning, faster financial close processes, and AI-powered insights.
Why Oracle Cloud EPM Matters
Modern finance teams are expected to deliver forward-looking insights, not just historical reporting. But manual spreadsheets and disconnected tools slow everything down. Oracle Cloud EPM replaces these fragmented processes with an integrated, automated platform designed for continuous, data-driven decision-making.
With Oracle Fusion Cloud EPM, organizations can:
- Plan, budget, and forecast across every department
- Consolidate and close the books faster

It transforms finance from reactive to strategic—empowering CFOs, controllers, FP&A teams, and business leaders with deeper intelligence and greater agility.
How Oracle Cloud EPM Works
Oracle Cloud EPM complements your ERP system by delivering the management insights ERP alone cannot provide. The EPM cycle spans the entire performance lifecycle:
