Summary

If you are still relying on SAP BPC, Hyperion Financial Management, Hyperion Enterprise, Cartesis, Longview Khalix, other legacy on-premises solutions, standalone TM1, a collection of spreadsheets, or a mix of solutions, this webcast is designed for you.

Many legacy EPM platforms are approaching end-of-life, receiving limited investment, and are no longer aligned with today’s finance demands. Waiting to upgrade is no longer a neutral decision — it increases risk.

Three Reasons the Replacement Imperative is a Priority Today:

1. Risk: End-of-Life Is Not a Strategy

Major legacy CPM/EPM systems are being sunset and are minimally supported already. Enhancements are rare, bug fixes are limited. Skills are harder to find.

Don’t wait until a critical close, audit, or planning cycle exposes the fragility of an aging platform — or until you are forced into a rushed replacement without time for a proper selection and implementation process.

2. Rewards: Modern Platforms Are Actively Evolving

Leading CPM/EPM vendors are investing heavily in performance, usability, scalability, and continuous innovation. Organizations moving to modern platforms are improving their consolidation speed, planning agility, and cross-functional collaboration.

Advanced capabilities — including AI-driven forecasting, model creation, account reconciliation, report generation, and process automation, along with more sophisticated scenario planning, prebuilt operational solutions, and more — are available today.

Modernizing now allows you to take advantage of these innovations sooner rather than later.

3. Competitive Disadvantage: Finance Has Changed

Earlier generations of EPM were an improvement over the standalone spreadsheets they often replaced, but were not particularly easy to use or administrate. More importantly, they were not designed for today’s need for more advanced scenario modeling, operational/financial integration, rapid reforecasting cycles, and ad hoc reporting.

Modern CPM/EPM solutions unify financial and operational planning along with financial consolidation and close, enable multi-scenario modeling at scale, and support the resilience required in volatile business environments. As your peers modernize, remaining on legacy platforms creates an execution gap.

In this 90-minute webcast you will learn:

Join us to understand why the time to act is now—and how to turn your EPM replacement from a forced upgrade into a strategic advantage for Finance and the enterprise.
