Oracle has today announced a “Continuous Innovation” release model for Hyperion EPM 11.2.

Following various announcements during the course of the past year regarding the extension of Premier Support for the Hyperion EPM suite through to 2030 at least, Oracle has today confirmed the inclusion of Hyperion EPM in its Applications Unlimited programme.

After upgrading to 11.2 (currently slated for release in September 2019) customers can expect:

  • Ongoing applications updates
  • Ongoing technology stack updates
  • Premier Support

through 2030 at least, with annual reviews considering extensions beyond that date.

  • Hyperion Financial Management (HFM)
    • Financial Management Analytics
