About Us
Answer Insight Consulting provides customers with an unparalleled level of service due to our exclusive focus on Hyperion products, our dedication to provide world-class talented Hyperion consultants, and our business model which results in lower cost to customers.
Answer Insight is based in Kansas City, Missouri and was founded based on a vision to provide local customers as well as customers all over North America with a higher level of service and expertise than the typical large consulting firms. Our vision is the Answer Insight Advantage and it is what makes us different.
The Answer Insight Advantage
What Makes Us Different:
The Answer Insight vision to provide long-term success with our clients is based on these fundamentals:
Hyperion Focus
Answer Insight is unique in that it is purely Hyperion focused. Unlike other consulting firms, our services are exclusively focused on Oracle Hyperion Planning, Oracle Hyperion Essbase, Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, and Hyperion Financial Reporting. This exclusive focus allows us to gain greater understanding of new releases and gain efficiency and synergy on each implementation since we have done it all before. With such a depth of knowledge, we can easily determine what works best for any unique requirements or set of circumstances. This tremendously deep experience allows us to deliver solutions more thoroughly and efficiently.
World-Class Hyperion Consultants
No matter which consulting firm you choose, the service provided is only as good as the individual consultants assigned to your engagement. Many times large consulting firms assign consultants that are training on the job or that may have experience but not the exact experience related to the engagement.
At Answer Insight, our consultants are recognized leaders when it comes to design, development, and implementation and typically average 8 to 10 years of experience implementing Hyperion solutions. Answer Insight uses a network of independent consultants and employees who have moved on from the big consulting firms.
Low Cost Business Model
The business model of Answer Insight is based on a low overhead approach.
For one, Answer Insight relies almost exclusively on repeat and word of mouth business. Thus, unlike other consulting firms, we do not have a marketing staff or large marketing budget.
Secondly, Answer Insight consulting staff are seasoned professionals focused only on our clients. Thus, unlike other firms, we do not have a staff of consultants who are 'on the bench'.
Our low cost business model allows us to provide unparalleled service to customers at lower rates compared to other large consulting firms.
Understanding of Your Business
A completely successful Hyperion implementation requires not only Hyperion technical expertise but also a clear understanding of the needs and wants of the customer. That is why Answer Insight consultants typically have previous finance and accounting experience. We believe this experience is crucial for clear understanding of the customer’s viewpoint and delivery of a solution that not only meets but exceeds their expectations.
