In the fast-paced world of powersports aftermarket products, agility and precision in financial reporting are critical to driving growth and informed decision-making. One JD Edwards customer faced mounting challenges managing their financial reporting processes across a patchwork of spreadsheets—resulting in inefficiencies, slow reporting cycles, and data integrity concerns.

To address these challenges, they partnered with Denovo’s Oracle consulting team to implement a modern, scalable, and integrated financial reporting solution using Oracle Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) Cloud. This transformation replaced manual, spreadsheet-driven processes with a centralized, automated platform that delivers speed, accuracy, and strategic insights across the organization.

In this session, we’ll share how the solution was designed and deployed, explore the tangible business outcomes it delivered, and highlight key lessons learned along the way. Attendees will walk away with actionable recommendations for how JD Edwards customers—especially those reliant on spreadsheets—can leverage Oracle EPM to modernize and future-proof their financial reporting environments.
