Integrated. Extensible. Unified. OneStream.

Your business needs and requirements are unique. While the software and license costs of OneStream are fixed, the implementation costs differ based on your configuration and require individual pricing for the most cost-effective solution. 

In addition to implementation costs, your 'total cost of ownership' (TCO) should factor in the benefits and reduced costs of a cloud-based CPM solution. Undeniably, cloud-based solutions have lower TCO overall than on-premise solutions (now considered industry best practice).

You should ask: What is the 'total cost of ownership' (TCO) to move to a cloud solution?
A cloud-based OneStream implementation also provides efficiencies in hardware, IT services, simplified upgrades and increases in team innovation. 

All costs are fully transparent as part of Ascend's quoting process. Contact us to start a discovery process to determine your unique costs.

An account reconciliation solution can be implemented in as little as 12 weeks, while a complex global consolidation and budget and forecasting roll-out can take up to two years with a phased iterative approach. The length of a OneStream implementation depends on the number of components you wish to utilize and the complexity of your data landscape.

This broad range depends on your current processes, hardware, software dependencies, and team experience with CPM solutions and cloud-based technologies. 

If you're currently working in Excel with on-premise hardware, this process could be longer, while a transformation from Oracle Hyperion or a similar system — with a company already employing business process best practices and experience with project management across departments — shortens implementation timelines.

Working with Ascend Partners means a commitment to create the best solution for your implementation with the quickest route to success.

This is one of the main advantages of OneStream. As a unified and extensible SmartCPM platform, OneStream was built from the ground up to be a cloud-based solution for integrating a fragmented data landscape. It can integrate and connect with any relational or web service-based system (i.e., not just your ERP system).

As an Ascend customer, you receive our unique global expertise across multiple industries, geographic-specific differences and fragmented software environments. This ensures a seamless transformation of your financial software environment with the OneStream platform.

Resources for implementation can vary based on how you configure OneStream and which areas of the platform you plan on using. There are a few major platform implementations, including:

• Financial close and consolidation
• Planning, budgeting and forecasting
• Reporting and analysis
• Financial data quality
• Technology leadership

Implementation resources depend on whether you implement one or all of these areas, and the complexity of your current systems and processes. 

However, with the Ascend Advantage, we provide a solution roadmap that outlines your resource requirements so you'll know what you need before you begin.

For example, resources that may be required for a financial close and consolidation implementation include:

• Leadership team, 10 hours
• Implementation committee (3-10 members), 100 hours
• IT team (1-3 members), 20 hours
• HR team (1-2 members), 10 hours
• Designated OneStream administrator, project duration
