Oracle's May 2025 update introduces the PCM Agent (GenAI), a natural language tool for finance professionals using Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management (EPCM). This AI-powered agent allows users to streamline workflow by using text-based commands to perform tasks like creating models, building rule sets, making mass edits, calculating models, and running analytic traces. The goal is to boost efficiency by reducing time spent on manual tasks, allowing more focus on high-value analysis.
