It's all about Enterprise Performance Management

As I previously reported, there are currently two working EPM code sets in place from Oracle: The Oracle PBCS Cloud code set, and the on premise version. 11.1.2.4 is where they will finally be brought together.

Oracle currently has 150 customers of OPBCS with about 30 of them live. The biggest problem at this point is to keep up with the demand from a hardware perspective, so on-boarding has been a slower process than expected.

The OPBCS will go through one more cloud-only patch in Q4 that will bring in a new interface, mobile capabilities, etc. After that is released and tested in the cloud, Oracle will release the on-premise 11.1.2.4 version that will incorporate all the Cloud functionality plus some additional features. After that, the versions should be released in sync. Once in sync, the on-prem version will have all the performance analytics, self service tutorials, etc.
