Next Generation Platform Developments: Released in August, OneStream V 8.0 helps Finance teams work faster, smarter and stronger with significant performance gains, enhanced end-user reporting and analysis, and user-driven data connections and security. New updates include:

• Technology Modernization with Microsoft .Net 6 to provide faster performance, greater throughput and a path to real-time scaling that responds to demand, decreased maintenance intervals and faster upgrades. This strategic advancement addresses the evolving needs of OneStream customers, adapting to the increasing demand for processing larger volumes of data and handling more demanding calculations. It effectively manages periodic and sporadic spikes in processing requirements across planning, reporting and financial close processes.
• No-code SAP integration through a previewed SAP connector to provide direct integration with SAP ERPs to create, test and validate connections. With over 300 customers using OneStream with SAP ERPs, OneStream’s continued investment provides a guided visual framework to more easily connect OneStream with SAP. This will enable users to create, test and edit logic to extract data from SAP across financial performance management, operational planning & analytics and AI-driven forecasting processes.

AI-Driven Forecasting and Automation: Building on the customer success and value delivered by its Sensible ML solution, OneStream is previewing a Sensible LLM solution designed to unify generative AI with CPM, including providing tech support assistance, platform & design assistance and enhancements to Sensible ML for scenario planning use cases.
