Sometimes companies ask us how to load easilly non-Hyperion data into CXO Cockpit. At any time we can help our customers to create a custom integration between the non-Hyperion source and the cockpit. Even better is to use Oracle's Hyperion Financial Data Quality Management (FDM) to load additional data into CXO Cockpit. We offer the FDM CXO Cockpit target adapter that is fully integrated with the CXO Cockpit model.

Some specific benefits of using FDM for loading CXO Cockpit:

• Shorten Your Close Cycle
• Validate the Quality of Data
• Improve the Accuracy and Consistency of Data
• Verify the Integrity of Financial Statements with a True Audit Trail
• Out of the Box Application for Fianance users not IT

See here a short overview on the FDM integration process. In this example we load headcount data categorized by entity and employee type:

1. For the March actuals, there is no headcount data.

 2. Hyperion Fiancial Data Quality Management can be easilly accessed using the CXO Cockpit menu.

3.Import a file with additioninal data into FDM.
In this example the data file contains an extract of the HR system containing employees and their job title.

4. Translate and validate the imported data.
The FDM adapter is fully integrated with the CXO Cockpit, all CXO Cockpit dimensions can be directly accessed for solving mapping issues.

5. Load the translated data into the cockpit.

6. Go back to the CXO Cockpit and see how the data has been loaded.
