The Agents Are Coming | Is Your Oracle EPM Platform Ready? 

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly evolving beyond chat-based interactions into a new era of autonomous, goal-oriented AI Agents capable of executing tasks, orchestrating processes, and augmenting decision-making across the enterprise. For finance organizations, this shift has significant implications for how Oracle EPM is deployed, governed, and utilized.

In this session, we will explore the emerging role of AI Agents as specialized digital teammates supporting finance, accounting, and operational users throughout the Oracle EPM landscape. Attendees will gain a practical view of how agent-driven capabilities can transform strategic planning, account reconciliations, enterprise data governance, financial close, and reporting processes while increasing productivity, accelerating insights, and reducing administrative effort.

Using real-world Oracle EPM scenarios, we will illustrate how future-focused organizations can leverage AI Agents to perform conversational scenario modeling, proactively identify and resolve reconciliation exceptions, streamline enterprise data governance, monitor close activities, and generate narrative insights from financial results.

Most importantly, this session will provide a roadmap for preparing your EPM environment for the agentic future. We will discuss the foundational capabilities required to enable AI at scale, including data quality and governance, API readiness, process standardization, security considerations, and architectural design principles that position Oracle EPM as the foundation of an AI-ready finance organization.

Whether your organization is actively pursuing AI initiatives or simply planning for the future, attendees will leave with a clear understanding of both the opportunity and the practical steps needed to build an EPM platform prepared for the next generation of intelligent finance operations.

Key Takeaways

• Understand how AI Agents differ from traditional generative AI and why they represent the next evolution of enterprise finance technology.
• Explore practical Oracle EPM use cases across Strategic Modeling, Account Reconciliation, EDM, Financial Close, FCC, and Narrative Reporting.
• Learn how AI Agents can reduce manual effort by proactively identifying reconciliation risks, close bottlenecks, and data quality issues before they impact reporting.
• Develop a roadmap for transforming Oracle EPM into an AI-ready platform that supports autonomous finance operations and continuous insight generation.

AI Starts on Day One: From Evidence to Execution Across the Oracle Transformation Lifecycle

Abstract

Let’s face it: enterprise transformation has traditionally scaled the same way for decades. More programs require more people, more workshops, more handoffs and more hours. And if you’ve been through an Oracle transformation, you know the drill: documents get collected, discovery begins, requirements are captured, design workshops follow, decisions get documented—and somewhere between discovery, design, configuration and testing, teams spend a surprising amount of time finding information, recreating context and turning what they already know into the next deliverable.

Join Grant Thornton for a Lunch & Learn exploring how we’re rethinking the Oracle transformation lifecycle with an AI-Enabled Enterprise Transformation Platform—connecting inputs, conversations, requirements, decisions and delivery knowledge in one AI-powered workspace. We’ll show how Grant Thornton’s Oracle AI practice can help move from intake and discovery to traceable requirements and design, and ultimately through configuration, testing, training and go-live—while keeping people in control of the decisions that matter.

From Invoice To Insight | Lifecyle of Transaction with Oracle AI Agents

Abstract

Organizations often evaluate AI through isolated use cases, but the true value of embedded AI emerges when intelligence is connected across an end-to-end business process. This session follows the lifecycle of a single supplier invoice as it moves through Oracle Fusion ERP and EPM, demonstrating how Oracle AI agents work together to automate work, generate insights, and support decision-making at every stage of the finance function.

Attendees will follow the lifecycle of Invoice #ORACLEAIWORLD2026 as it moves through Oracle Fusion ERP and EPM, demonstrating how a single transaction becomes a source of intelligence across the enterprise. The journey begins as the Payables Agent receives and processes the invoice, transforming an incoming document into a trusted financial transaction. Once posted, the Ledger Agent continuously monitors the accounting impact, explains variances, and provides context into changing financial results.

As project related costs are recognized, AI powered project controls leverage the same transaction to evaluate project performance, identify budget risks, and provide operational insight. The Planning Agent incorporates the transaction into forecasts, scenarios, and predictive models, helping finance leaders understand future business impacts. By following one invoice from receipt to forecast, attendees will see how Oracle's AI agents build upon one another, turning a single transaction into connected insights, decisions, and outcomes across finance, projects, and planning. One invoice. Multiple AI agents. A connected enterprise powered by Oracle Fusion Agentic Applications.

Key Takeaways

• Follow the complete lifecycle of a single transaction as it flows across Oracle ERP and EPM.
• See how Oracle AI agents leverage the same transaction to automate processing, explain results, monitor performance, and support decision-making.
• Understand how finance, projects, and planning become connected through a shared, intelligent data foundation.
• Learn how embedded AI transforms transactions from system records into actionable business insights.
• Explore Oracle's vision for an agent-driven enterprise where AI agents work together to support end-to-end business processes rather than isolated tasks.
