Webinar: Banks and Credit Unions: Address Industry Challenges with Connected Planning
Sign up here!
The challenges of the past few years – from COVID-19 and rising labor costs to interest rate changes and the lending boom – have made it increasingly important for banks and credit unions to respond and adapt quickly and efficiently to changes. A modern cloud planning solution connects c-suite, finance, operations, branches, IT, marketing, and real estate with collaborative planning & forecasting.
Alithya accelerates the deployment of a modern cloud financial planning and forecasting solution using Oracle Cloud Enterprise Performance Management (EPM). During this webinar, you’ll hear a case study that highlights the implementation of a centralized financial forecasting and reporting hub to connect the P&L and balance sheet to support what-if analysis across all areas of the bank.
Additionally, you’ll see how easy it is to link the Oracle EPM Workforce module to build up labor and headcount forecasts to support the business plan while integrating with human capital and recruiting tools. We’ll also show you how we can quickly set you up to forecast net interest revenue/margin and FTP based on existing business runoff and incorporate regional and branch input to advise on how to refill business pipeline.
Attend this webinar for all this plus a live demo of Oracle EPM Planning, its user-friendly interface, and its ability to facilitate the use of the latest predictive machine learning to forecast parts of your P&L and greatly improve financial planning.

Elevate Your Retail Banking with a Modern Margin Planning and Forecasting Process
Details
A margin planning process must support risk and return management for retail banks and credit unions to outperform peers. The key to accomplishing this is a flexible and scalable scenario-modeling platform that empowers users to model net-interest income, margin, and funds-transfer pricing across a diverse portfolio of deposit and loan products. The tools and technology used are an important consideration to providing a competitive advantage; a margin planning solution should provide insight into a bank’s rapidly changing business and enable leaders to make quick and well-informed decisions.
Attend this webinar to see how Oracle Cloud EPM provides a prescriptive business modeling process that seamlessly links C-suite, finance, and branch teams to drive new business pipeline. Alithya's Bank Margin Planning accelerator enables retail banks and credit unions to navigate economic uncertainties by exploring "what-if" interest rate benchmark adjustments to see the macro-economic impact.
Hear a real-world case study of one of our retail credit union clients that successfully deployed Alithya's Bank Margin Planning accelerator using Oracle EPM Planning and see a live demo of its capabilities, user-friendly interface, and potential to revolutionize your financial planning.
