A word from our founder

Ed Graham - Oracle EPM specialist, founder of GK

GK is the realisation of my life's work, first as a company accountant, second implementing ERP solutions and now working with our clients to solve their performance management challenges.

What I have come to realise is that the most important numbers are those that are reported at the top or consolidated levels. Therefore it is with EPM, that sits on top of ERP, that we have specialised our company.

Every company should prioritise a solution that facilitates reporting and planning (budgeting and forecasting) on a timely basis. This solution should meet all of its requirements in a consistent manner with calculations that are transparent and understood by the business.

At GK we have specialised in Oracle’s EPM product as their vision is for a complete suite of integrated applications to meet the challenges of Enterprise Performance Management. This is not your father’s on-line analytical processing system but a new set of rapidly evolving ‘born in the cloud’ applications.

It is tempting I suppose, if the only tool you have is a hammer to treat everything as a nail. We chose Oracle as it’s suite of applications allows our clients to use the right tool for the right job. This modular approach allows your data to be stored in the correct level of detail as well as to move seamlessly between applications. It also allows for an agile development model where each application can be developed independently.

I am proud of the experienced team we have put together at GK who have proven to be successful in implementing the latest best practice and newest features. If you have challenges in our specialist area or need help with generic finance processes please reach out as we are keen to serve.

“GK are on a mission to improve the quality of EPM solutions and it is my role, as principal advisor, to facilitate their vision while helping them grow their business.”

“I have been mentoring GK as part of the Oracle startup programme. During that time GK have proved their capability to use the Oracle EPM tool to its fullest, take their clients through the implementation journey and become an Oracle partner that deliver true value to customers.”
