Independent consultant focused on the technical side of Oracle EPM platforms — infrastructure, patching, environment builds, and Hyperion-to-Cloud migrations. Not the functional/consolidation-rules side: the platform that has to actually run, stay secure, and stay up to date.
Plenty of consultants can design consolidation rules and chart-of-accounts structures. What I bring is the infrastructure and platform engineering side that keeps an Oracle EPM environment running, secure, and successfully migrated when the time comes.
Standing up and upgrading HFM, WebLogic and OHS stacks, from a fresh install to a multi-version upgrade path.
Planning and executing quarterly Critical Patch Updates and monthly Critical Security Patch Updates across Java, WebLogic and OHS — with zero-surprise change windows.
Technical execution of Hyperion-to-Cloud migrations: parallel-run cutovers, infrastructure planning, and the mechanics of getting a legacy environment onto Cloud EPM.
Diagnosing platform-level issues — from slow consolidations to environment instability — at the infrastructure layer rather than the business-rules layer.
Certificate lifecycle management, patch compliance tracking, and hardening of on-prem EPM environments against known CVEs.
A technical health-check of an existing on-prem or Cloud EPM platform before a migration, renewal, or handover to a new team.
Most Cloud EPM environments accumulate the same repetitive, manual tasks over time — refreshes, data loads, job monitoring, environment resets. Automating them removes a recurring source of human error and frees up time better spent elsewhere.
Data loads, exports, snapshot backups and application refreshes driven by EPM Automate CLI scripts instead of manual console clicks.
Job sequences built to run unattended — consolidation, data load, and reporting chained and scheduled around your close calendar.
Connecting Cloud EPM to upstream ERPs and downstream reporting tools through the REST API, replacing manual file hand-offs.
Custom Groovy rules for calculation logic and validations in PBCS/FCCS that go beyond what standard business rules can do.
Automated production-to-test refresh cycles, so lower environments stay current without a manual export/import each time.
Lightweight monitoring around job failures and upcoming patch windows, so issues surface before they become a fire drill.
Six One Network is an independent Oracle EPM/HFM consulting practice with 15+ years of hands-on experience keeping classic and cloud EPM environments running — including patching Java, WebLogic and OHS through quarterly Critical Patch Updates on live production stacks.
The focus is deliberately technical rather than functional: instead of designing consolidation logic or chart-of-accounts structures, the work is making sure the platform underneath is correctly built, current on patches, and successfully carried through a migration when the time comes.

Anything on the technical/infrastructure side of Oracle EPM: patch cycles, environment builds and upgrades, migration execution, troubleshooting, and technical audits. Short missions and longer engagements both work.
Yes, most engagements are handled remotely. On-site work can be arranged for specific phases (cutovers, audits) when needed — happy to discuss on a call.
Primarily HFM (classic on-prem), plus FCCS and PBCS on the Cloud side, along with the underlying WebLogic, OHS and Java stack.
