Cash forecasting is traditionally one of the most manual and error-prone processes in Finance, relying heavily on spreadsheets, subjective judgment, and inconsistent assumptions across departments. With Oracle EPM Cloud’s new Predictive Cash Forecasting capability, organizations can now elevate cash planning from reactive guesswork to an automated, data-driven process powered by embedded machine learning. This session provides a comprehensive walkthrough of how Predictive Cash Forecasting identifies trends, analyzes historical inflows and outflows, detects seasonality, applies statistical models, and produces highly accurate cash projections with confidence intervals and risk indicators. We’ll explore how the tool integrates seamlessly with Fusion Cloud ERP, how to configure prediction drivers and forecast intervals, and how finance teams can compare scenarios, tune models, and manage governance around AI-assisted forecasting. Attendees will learn practical use cases for Treasury, FP&A, and Finance leadership—including optimizing liquidity, improving working capital decisions, and strengthening short-term and long-term cash planning. This session is ideal for EPM administrators, financial analysts, and decision-makers looking to bring modern predictive intelligence into their organization’s planning processes.

JD Edwards (JDE) environments are evolving rapidly, and organizations are looking for smarter, more intuitive ways to optimize operations. This session introduces how Agentic AI, combined with autonomous process automation, is reshaping JDE workflows by enabling intelligent, collaborative systems that work alongside users to enhance efficiency and decision-making. Leveraging generative AI, natural language interactions, and task-oriented agents, JDE processes can be transformed from static, traditional ERP activities into dynamic, AI-driven operational flows. The session showcases how advanced AI agents can interpret functional and technical queries, automate repetitive tasks, coordinate multi-step processes across JDE modules, and integrate seamlessly with surrounding enterprise applications. With the support of Oracle AI services—including sentiment analysis, data classification, and language intelligence—these agents introduce contextual understanding and autonomous execution capabilities that elevate ERP performance. Real-world scenarios illustrate how organizations are deploying agentic systems to boost user productivity, streamline operations, strengthen governance, and achieve greater business agility in a modern, digital-first landscape.

Oracle’s introduction of Orchestrations has transformed how organizations streamline processes by reducing manual tasks and eliminating non-value-added activities. The challenge, however, lies in identifying which orchestrations deliver the greatest impact. This session explores how the Business Analyst team at MacLean-Fogg partnered across multiple plant locations to optimize distribution workflows using JD Edwards Orchestrator. Through a series of standard work training sessions, the team gathered direct user feedback and developed targeted orchestrations that minimize manual effort and enhance data accuracy. Key solutions include automating route and delivery updates by shipment number, enabling users to generate carton/container codes without IT intervention, and processing inbound EDI for specific document. These orchestrations empower end users, improve operational efficiency, and demonstrate a scalable approach to digital transformation.

Artificial Intelligence is transforming how we interact with data, but enterprise databases have remained largely disconnected from this revolution—until now. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) represents a paradigm shift, enabling AI assistants to directly query, analyze, and interpret databases through natural language while maintaining enterprise-grade security. Oracle has embraced this by embedding an MCP Server directly into SQLcl, transforming the command line into a highly-auditable, AI-ready endpoint for your database. This session provides a practical, real-world guide on using the SQLcl MCP Server to let developers and DBAs execute complex tasks—from generating natural language reports to deep performance tuning with AWR—using simple chat prompts.
