Overview

What is OneStream?

OneStream was founded by former Hyperion executives who set out to build a unified CPM platform that would eliminate the need for multiple point solutions for consolidation, planning, reporting, and analytics. The platform has gained significant traction in the enterprise segment, particularly with organisations migrating from Oracle Hyperion.

OneStream's key differentiator is its "extensible dimensionality" architecture, which allows different business units or planning processes to have their own dimensional structures while sharing a common platform and data foundation. This makes it particularly powerful for complex, global organisations.

The platform includes a marketplace of pre-built solutions (OneStream MarketPlace) that extend its capabilities for specific use cases like lease accounting, workforce planning, and capital planning. OneStream excels at financial consolidation and close management, but the platform is firmly enterprise-focused with pricing and complexity to match.
