AI administration for Oracle EPM Cloud

Imagine EPM run without errors.

Picture Monday morning of close week: every overnight load already triaged, every fix waiting for one-click approval, your admins starting the day calm. That's SAGE — an AI agent that runs Oracle EPM Cloud administration, so your EPM footprint grows while your admin headcount doesn't.

The transformation

You already know the first picture. Now imagine the second.

Every application, every data feed, every 2 a.m. failure — all landing on the same exhausted admins. Now picture the same environment where each application has its own SAGE agent, and one calm conductor keeps your data, integrations, and applications running in concert.

Everything lands on your admins. Failed loads found at 7:30 a.m., tickets piling up, close losing days — and the person who knows why is on PTO.

One agent per application. One conductor in control. Failures triaged the minute they happen, fixes waiting for approval, and a calm voice reporting: close is on track.

What SAGE does

Your EPM environment, administered around the clock.

SAGE covers the daily operational load of Oracle EPM Cloud administration — the work that eats your senior people's time and stalls every close.

Job monitoring & failure triage

Overnight loads and rules that fail at 2 a.m. get investigated immediately — root cause identified, fix proposed, before your team logs in.

🗂

Metadata management

Dimensions, members, hierarchies — changes staged, validated, and executed with a full record of what changed and why.

Data loads & integrations

Data Management / FDMEE loads, mappings, and import failures handled end to end — including the retries nobody wants to babysit.

🔐

Security & provisioning

Roles, access, and provisioning requests handled consistently, with an audit trail your IT team will actually like.

EPM Automate & REST

Scripted operations, substitution variables, scheduled maintenance — executed through Oracle's own tooling, not screen-scraping.

🛠

Smart View & Reports triage

The steady stream of "my retrieve is broken" tickets — diagnosed and resolved so they stop landing on your admins.

How it works

An agent that knows your environment — and never acts alone.

SAGE is deployed per client. It builds a durable memory of your applications, your history, and your fixes — and every change passes through a human-approval gate.

01

Deploy

SAGE connects to your Oracle EPM Cloud environment through audited, governed integration — typically live in days.

02

Learn

It builds per-client memory: your apps, data feeds, past issues, and the fixes that worked. Knowledge that survives turnover.

03

Operate

It monitors, triages, and executes routine administration 24/7 — escalating what needs a human decision.

04

Govern

Every action is logged; every change is approved by your people. You stay in control, with a complete audit trail.

Governance first: SAGE never makes an unapproved change to a production environment. Human approval gate, complete audit log, per-client deployment. Built by Oracle EPM practitioners — ESS LLC has delivered EPM consulting since 2015.
Built for the people who own the close

Whatever seat you sit in, imagine your next quarter.

CFO · VP Finance

A close that never loses a day — and AI you can finally show the board.

Cycle time is the #1 AI result CFOs report. SAGE protects every close, then hands you a monthly scorecard in the KPIs you already use — close days, error rates, hours returned.

Skip pilot purgatory: SAGE is in production, not in a lab.

EPM Director · Admin Manager

Your team stops firefighting and starts engineering.

Failures triaged at 2:01 a.m., Smart View tickets resolved before breakfast, and every fix remembered forever — institutional knowledge that survives the next resignation.

Same team. More applications. No heroics.

CIO · IT Leadership

AI with the governance your auditors would design.

Human approval before any change touches production. Complete audit trail. Per-client deployment in your tenant — no shared infrastructure, no new attack surface.

More control than you have today, not less.

Provable ROI

The only EPM AI that measures itself in your KPIs.

The #1 question executives ask about AI: "How do I actually measure it?" SAGE answers before you ask — every month, a scorecard in the language of the CFO's dashboard. When budget review comes, your AI line item defends itself.

Why it matters

What you'll notice first

1

Add applications without adding admins

SAGE breaks the link between EPM footprint growth and admin headcount. The same team handles more apps and more data feeds.

2

Close cycles stay protected

Failures during close week are caught and diagnosed in minutes, not discovered the next morning. No more losing a day of close to a bad load.

3

Institutional knowledge stops walking out the door

Every issue, root cause, and fix is remembered. When an admin leaves, their knowledge stays.

4

FP&A finally gets to use Oracle's AI

When admins aren't buried in triage, they have capacity to enable the AI capabilities finance has been waiting to adopt.

Why now

You already own Oracle's EPM AI. Here's why it isn't paying off yet.

Oracle has shipped a wave of EPM AI — Predictive Planning, IPM Insights, and a full slate of agents for Planning, Consolidation, and Reconciliation. Most of it is already included in your subscription. And at most companies, it sits unused.

The foundation never gets built

Oracle's AI needs clean historical data, Hybrid enablement, separated scenarios, and governance over its outputs. Every one of those is an administrator problem — and your admins are already underwater.

Every new AI feature adds admin work

Each agent Oracle ships lands more prep, more configuration, and more governance on the same team that's buried in failed loads, metadata requests, and security tickets.

🔓

SAGE clears the capacity

SAGE takes over the operational grind — monitoring, triage, loads, provisioning — and keeps the data feeds clean. The hours it frees are what let your team stand up the Oracle AI you're already paying for.

Every AI feature Oracle ships adds work to the administrator's plate. SAGE is the only one that takes work off it.

No data-science project. No two years of model training. No planner change-management. SAGE delivers AI value on the operational layer — starting in week one — and builds the foundation Oracle's AI needs to finally deliver.
