Overall Satisfaction with OneStream
We help organizations with their OneStream implementation journey. One such implementation was for an American Singaporean multinational electronics manufacturer. The customer was using an Excel-based approach for their Balance Sheet Accounts Reconciliation Process. 1500+ users are involved in the Accounts Reconciliation process for over 50k+ accounts. There was generally a significant issue with data quality. Since they were doing a manual approach to reconciliation, the timeliness of data is a big issue. In addition to being time-consuming, here are several pitfalls that they encounter every month: - Disintegrated approach - Huge volume - Lack of Standardization - Lack of a consolidated list of action items by responsibility The company took a decision to implement the OneStream Accounts Reconciliation Solution. The solution was a comprehensive risk management tool that also involved the consolidation of data at a parent level.
- With OneStream’s Account Reconciliation solution, the finance team can now see an overview of their reconciliations which saved a significant amount of time as compared to navigating through spreadsheets.
- OneStream allows much detailed transactional level data (with millions of transactions) from integrated source systems to be consolidated right up to the highest level with drill-down capabilities providing a detailed audit trail as well as full transparency across the organizational hierarchy. This was the biggest benefit as to why OneStream was the preferred choice.
- The native dashboarding capabilities allowed the company to replace their standalone BI tool with dashboards within OneStream.
- Analytical blend capabilities provided risk management and risk governance capabilities which before this was not possible for the customer.
- This is not a OneStream issue but more about an implementation approach where clarity should be there on how data needs to interact as well as a focus on user experience for faster user adoption.
- Value of OneStream to the customers is not only a single platform but all in a single application
- No need to worry about long upgrade cycles as upgrade happens in a couple of hours
- Higher user adoption as they just need to learn new use cases and not a new system
- Customers have moved from multiple EPM systems as well as multiple EPM applications to OneStream.
- Their ROI has been quite high as lesser admins are required, no need to move data back & forth, no need for an additional dashboarding / BI tool, once a user is on OneStream can leverage it for more than 50+ use cases at no additional license cost.
- Automation, direct integration, scheduling, complex calculation capabilities, all help to further improve ROI and free up the time for the team to do value-adding tasks.
- Last but not the least is the confidence on the numbers is much higher.
- Oracle Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management, Anaplan and SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation)
