Fast Campus enhances industry edge with Oracle EPM Cloud
Curriculum staff members used to manage the data collected from market surveys, such as training content and instructor feedback, in spreadsheets. With rapid growth, it became difficult for Fast Campus to analyze the trends and plan for new courses. To sustain its edge in the education market, the company wanted to adopt a cloud solution to improve planning efficiency and gain insight into its business performance.
“As our business and customers grow, data management is critical to our success. Thanks to a flexible and cost-effective Oracle Planning and Budgeting Cloud Service, we eliminated manual data processing and gained a better ability to predict the education trends and plan new classes.”
Business challenges
- Improve planning and forecasting efficiency for new curriculums by streamlining the process to collate business data, such as student feedback and instructor costs, in a planning tool rather than manual spreadsheets
- Enable executives to analyze and predict the future needs of educational services and make better decisions, such as establishing shorter, full-time curriculums to meet the time requirements of professionals in various industries
