Case Study: McDonald’s Germany achieves faster, more efficient, zero-downtime planning with Oracle Cloud EPM

McDonald’s Germany boosts planning efficiency with Oracle

McDonald’s Germany, which operates 1,489 restaurants (about 92% franchised), needed to replace its on‑premises Hyperion planning and budgeting infrastructure to improve efficiency, transparency and scalability while reducing downtime and reliance on in‑house IT. The company sought a cloud solution that would speed up planning processes, support future enhancements without large upfront hardware commitments, and simplify cost monitoring and compliance.

McDonald’s migrated its corporate planning to Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud (Oracle Cloud EPM), implemented with Deloitte’s support, gaining faster deployment (up to 50%) and much quicker test-to‑production transitions (up to 80%). The move eliminated maintenance downtime, converted capex to a usage‑based subscription, improved GDPR compliance and user acceptance, and enabled flexible development and testing of new cloud services—future‑proofing planning and budgeting operations.
