Your ERP records the past. It wasn't built for reporting or planning the future, that’s where Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) solutions come in.
Most finance teams still report, budget, forecast and consolidate in spreadsheets. They break under complexity, can't be audited, and keep your best people stuck on data wrangling instead of analysis.
A EPM/CPM platform gives finance one governed source of truth, connected to your ERP, and other data sources. The cost of doing nothing is almost always higher than the cost of getting it right.
We help you identify the right solution for your organisational needs to deliver ROI rapidly
for growing SMBs to enterprise. Fast to implement (typically 4–16 weeks), owned by finance, strong in planning, forecasting, reporting, decision intelligence AI. Comes with Adaptive Decision Intelligence full context AI which rapidly accelerates time to insights and decision.
for complex, multi-entity enterprises who need consolidation and account reconciliations, as well as planning, and much more. Strong in close, consolidation, reconciliations, planning, reporting, ESG, AI and ML, and more in one platform. Often replaces 30+ spreadsheets or legacy systems such as Hyperion, BPC and TM1. Implementation generally 12 weeks +. Comes with Sensible AI and multiple Agents.
LLM connectivity via MCP - EPM enables AI
Both solutions act as your governed data model with enterprise grade permissioning, and semantics defined. An MCP connector provides access that respects permissioning to your team so that they can access the data from your LLM of choice to enable ad hoc analysis. Embedded AI in Adaptive Decision Intelligence and Sensible AI provides instant insights.
"Do we still need EPM if we have AI?" Yes, here's why.
AI is only as good as the data under it, and security is a whole other element. A CPM platform gives your AI four things a chatbot or general LLM cannot:
One governed data model your AI can trust
A full audit trail of every number and change
Row-level security so people see only what they should
Secure connections to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and others through MCP
What to expect with an EPM solution
Faster close and reforecast — significant reductions in time to close, consolidate and reforecast.
Scenarios in moments — model multiple what-if scenarios, with governed assumptions shared across every model.
Connected data — live links to your ERP, CRM, HR systems and data warehouse, with no more copy-paste.
Simpler consolidation — multi-entity, multi-currency roll-ups and eliminations, automated.
Automated reporting — board, management, and investor packs done at the click of a button, plus Slack and Teams integration.
AI-enabled planning — embedded AI, plus secure MCP connections to Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini.
Trusted numbers — fully traceable, auditable models, leaving more time for analysis and business partnering.

The cost of manual processes in spreadsheets or legacy EPM
$75k - $375k + a year
5 FP&A people × 50% of their time × $150,000 loaded cost = 2.5 people paid to copy, paste and reconcile. (Illustrative example)Hidden errors: no audit trail means mistakes reach the board pack unnoticed.
Old numbers: slow reforecasts mean decisions are made on last quarter’s data.
Key-person risk: when the one person who understands the model leaves, the budget stalls.
Lost talent: your best analysts leave when the work is mostly manual.
No safe AI: disconnected spreadsheets can’t support governed, secure AI.
Rising legacy costs: Hyperion, BPC, NSPB and TM1 get dearer to run, and harder to staff, every year.
What doing nothing costs you - a quick check - work through these four questions:
How many people work on planning, forecasting and reporting?
What percentage of their time goes on gathering, checking and reconciling data?
Multiply the two, then multiply by the average loaded salary.
Add the cost of any late, wrong or missed decisions.
For most organisations, that number is larger than the cost of fixing it. Especially when a CPM solution can be delivering value in a matter of weeks with minimal disruption to your team.
The bottom line: Standing still feels free, but it isn’t. Every month on spreadsheets costs time, accuracy, people and opportunity.

Client feedback
“[We have] successfully completed [our] first month-end close without relying on Excel for consolidation. For the first time, the entire reporting and consolidation process was completed through OneStream, which is a fantastic milestone for our team. This would not have been possible without the support and guidance provided by [Data Hive Consulting] during and after implementation.
