What’s Inside the OneStream Application Pack

- Utilize over 900 pre-configured KPIs and measures to conduct dynamic variance analysis and build performance scorecards.
- Perform robust Budget vs. Actual analysis to monitor fiscal performance and support scenario modeling and what-if planning directly in Power BI.
- Leverage dynamic currency consolidation for seamless reporting in both local and consolidated global currencies.
- Ensure data integrity with standardized, governed calculations and comprehensive, entity-based row-level security (RLS) that aligns with strict financial compliance requirements.
