Velaris selected to develop Human Capital OBIEE solution for a large financial services company

Velaris was chosen to Implement Oracle’s HR Analytics.  Our client presently uses Hyperion Performance Suite 8.5 to display Human Resource Analytics on dashboards.  The future will utilize the Oracle Analytics using OBIEE as the dashboard platform, in conjunction with migrated reports from Hyperion 8.5 to Oracle EPM 11 Interactive Reporting.  This project represents the first and only account utilizing this configuration.

Velaris is using 6 consultants to deliver the above in 6 months.  The expected result will deliver OBIEE dashboards representing the operational PeopleSoft and Taleo (Recruiting) information by this summer 2009.  While Oracle is planning to have the above technologies gracefully coexist in a future release (12 to 18 months away), this team is making it happen now for our client.
