Which statement describes Strategic Modeling?

Strategic Modeling in Oracle Planning 2024 is a module designed to enable rapid modeling and evaluation of financial scenarios, such as mergers, acquisitions, or long-term strategic plans. It provides a flexible framework for simulating "what-if" scenarios and includes out-of-the-box treasury capabilities, such as cash flow forecasting, debt scheduling, and interest rate calculations, which are critical for strategic financial planning.

A. It is used to model the flow of data by defining strategic rules for sharing data between modules: Incorrect. This describes data integration (e.g., via data maps), not Strategic Modeling, which focuses on scenario analysis.

B. It is used to develop driver-based strategic plans and generate core financial statements: Incorrect. While it supports driver-based planning, generating core financial statements is more aligned with the Financials module, not Strategic Modeling’s primary focus.

C. It is used to strategically manage and analyze finances at any business level with built-in dashboards: Incorrect. This is too broad and aligns more with the overall Planning application, not specifically Strategic Modeling.

D. It is used to quickly model and evaluate financial scenarios, and offers out-of-the-box treasury capabilities: Correct. This matches the module’s purpose of rapid scenario modeling and its treasury-related features.

The Oracle documentation highlights Strategic Modeling’s role in scenario analysis and its treasury tools, making D the accurate description.
