Course Overview

The Oracle SmartView For Planning course by Oracle is designed for financial analysts, business planners, and EPM (Enterprise Performance Management) professionals who leverage Oracle’s cloud-based planning solutions. This training equips learners with the skills to connect Microsoft Office applications—primarily Excel, Word, and PowerPoint—to Oracle Planning and Oracle EPM Cloud data sources, enabling seamless data retrieval, analysis, and reporting. Participants gain proficiency in navigating Smart View interfaces, entering and validating planning data, managing task lists, and supporting approval workflows. With over 60% of Fortune 500 companies adopting Oracle EPM Cloud for financial planning and forecasting, demand for SmartView-skilled professionals continues to grow, making this course essential for roles in financial planning, budgeting, and performance management.

Students engage with core Oracle technologies including Oracle Planning, Oracle EPM Cloud, Oracle Hyperion Planning, Oracle Essbase, and Smart View for Office, all integrated within a Microsoft Excel-based environment. The hands-on lab component is conducted in a secure Oracle Cloud training environment, where learners configure shared and private connections, perform ad hoc analysis, and build dynamic reports. A key real-world scenario involves taking planning data forms offline, allowing users to enter and adjust data without continuous server connectivity, then synchronizing changes back to the Planning application. Participants also practice embedding live data points into Word and PowerPoint, enabling real-time reporting for executive presentations, and use ad hoc analysis tools to explore data slices across multiple dimensions such as time, entity, and scenario.

This course prepares learners for Oracle’s Cloud Certification paths in Enterprise Performance Management, which are recognized globally for validating advanced financial planning and analysis expertise. Certified professionals report an average salary increase of 15–20%, with Oracle EPM specialists in the UK earning a median annual salary of £80,000, according to IT Job Watch (2025). Koenig Solutions enhances learning with its Guaranteed-to-Run delivery model and access to official Oracle courseware, ensuring participants receive up-to-date, vendor-authorized content. Upon completion, learners are positioned to advance into roles such as Oracle EPM Analyst, Financial Planning Consultant, or Business Intelligence Specialist, driving data-driven decision-making in modern finance organizations.
