Upgrades & Migrations
As the Oracle Hyperion array of EPM/BI applications becomes increasingly more powerful and sophisticated, minor upgrades and full migrations have proportionally increased in their complexity. At TopDown, upgrades and migrations are what we do best, and we do them with the least the least pain and the least disruption to your organization.
To ensure a seamless transition and reduce risk, our experts partner with you to conduct a detailed planning session prior to the upgrade or migration, ensuring all the technologies, processes, procedures, compatibility, interfaces, etc. are accounted for. Our team has experience working with Hyperion that dates back to the first release of the product. We are equipped to handle pre System 9, System 9 upgrades to the latest Oracle versions. We also have done hundreds of seamless and successful Enterprise and Pillar migrations. And as a Oracle Certified Advantage Partner, we are always current when it comes to the latest upgrades, versions, and patches.

TopDown Migration Manager
Since the founding of the company, TopDown has uniquely focused on the efficient migration of Hyperion Enterprise applications. As a result, we developed our proprietary TopDown Migration Manager, which has helped scores of TopDown’s Hyperion clients transition to the Oracle suite quickly and easily.
TopDown Migration Manager makes converting to the Oracle Hyperion EPM Suite faster, easier, and more cost-effective. Migration Manager enables you to convert your Hyperion Enterprise application(s) to HFM, Hyperion Planning, or Essbase and returning a baseline application in a day. This offers a huge development shortcut by cutting months from the project. And with the ability to see the data in new structures almost immediately, the TopDown team of experts can design and build more value into your application based on the expanded capabilities and features available in the latest releases.
