Case Study: San Francisco State University achieves better financial forecasting and strategic planning with Oracle Cloud EPM

SFSU models financial scenarios with Oracle Cloud

San Francisco State University (SFSU) needed a better way to manage budgeting and forecasting after relying on spreadsheets and outdated systems that made reporting manual, incomplete, and slow. The university chose Oracle Cloud EPM to support financial planning, scenario modeling, and more accurate long-range decision-making for its budget office.

Oracle implemented Oracle Cloud EPM in two phases to improve reporting accuracy, streamline budgeting, and add stronger forecasting and position management capabilities. The solution helped SFSU reduce manual work, eliminate reporting errors, and use scenario modeling to respond to COVID-19 uncertainty while building a 10-year strategic plan, giving finance staff more time for analysis and better supporting informed leadership decisions.
