Hyperion Planning is a budgeting and forecasting application from Oracle formerly owned by Hyperion Solutions Corporation. Hyperion Planning uses Essbase (a multidimensional database product sold by Hyperion) as a database and calculation engine, and includes a web-based user interface.

Hyperion Solutions Corporation was purchased by Oracle Corporation in March of 2007. [ [http://www.oracle.com/corporate/press/2007_mar/hyperion.html Oracle Buys Enterprise Performance Management Leader Hyperion - REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., 01-MAR-2007 04:20 AM ] ]

The software itself is a collection of JavaServer Pages and Java Servlets that provide the web interface, with some administrative components relying on Microsoft's DCOM to communicate with a Windows thick client. The software adopts an N-tier architecture: a relational database (Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2 or Oracle database), Java EE servlet container (Apache Tomcat, IBM WebSphere, BEA Weblogic or Oracle Application Server), and the Essbase server itself make up a full installation of the product.
