The new Hyperion planning and budgeting is the idea backed by a worth sharing history. If we look back, we will be amazed to know that Hyperion Solutions Corporation was a software company initially located in Santa Clara in California, and was acquired by Oracle Corporation in 2007. Since then, many products were developed from the Business Intelligence and Business Performance Management markets perspective. In 2013, it was developed and sold with the name of Oracle Hyperion products. In 1998, there was a merger between Hyperion Software (IMRS) and Arbor Software.
