Frequently asked questions

Does OneStream support integrations with systems other than ERPs?

Yes, OneStream can seamlessly integrate with an almost unlimited number of systems. In mining, for example, we often integrate and pull in costing data from Zyrus so management gets a plan on the costing side.

How are Joint Ventures and alternative JV reporting handled in OneStream for consolidations?

OneStream is a very powerful consolidation tool. JVs and the alternative reporting that comes with them are common in the mining industry, so OneStream is uniquely positioned to streamline a mining company’s financial close process.

Can OneStream help us with detailed planning at individual mine sites?

Yes, OneStream’s powerful engine includes something called ‘Extensible Dimensionality,’ which means you can extend down to varying levels of your business. Most mining companies have individual plans and processes at each mine site. OneStream can accommodate and roll those processes into the corporate plan within one system. This means no more emailing Excel workbooks and trying to gather data manually.
