# Oracle EPM

Oracle EPM (Enterprise Performance Management) Cloud software helps users analyze, understand, and report on their business (see <https://oracle.com/performance-management>). You can protect access to Oracle EPM Cloud by integrating Oracle EPM Cloud with Identity as a Service. Once integrated, users can use single sign-on to log in to their Oracle EPM Cloud account through Identity as a Service.

note

This integration was tested using Identity as a Service version 5.13 and Oracle EPM Cloud version 19.3.3.Other versions of Oracle EPM Cloud may require integration and configuration steps that differ from those documented in this procedure. For other versions of Oracle EPM Cloud, use this procedure as a starting point for integrating Oracle EPM Cloud. In the event of other issues, contact <support@entrust.com> for assistance.
