For many organizations, Finance modernization is put on hold until after an SAP S/4HANA implementation, delaying business value by years. During that time, Finance teams continue to rely on fragmented planning tools, manual reporting, and spreadsheet-driven processes while waiting for ERP transformation to be completed.

Join finance professionals from OneStream, Microsoft, and PwC as they discuss why organizations are rethinking this traditional approach. Learn how an EPM-first strategy enables Finance teams to modernize planning, financial close, consolidation, and reporting before, or alongside, ERP transformation, helping reduce risk while creating a trusted Finance data foundation for AI and future innovation.

Built on OneStream's vision of unified Finance, this approach helps organizations modernize planning, reporting, consolidation, and decision-making while supporting broader ERP transformation goals.

During this session, you'll learn:

  • Why ERP-first strategies can delay Finance modernization and business value
  • How organizations modernize planning, reporting, and financial close before ERP transformation is complete
  • Industry-leading practices for replacing legacy EPM platforms while reducing risk
  • How OneStream complements ERP modernization throughout each stage of the journey
  • Why trusted Finance data is foundational for AI adoption
  • How Microsoft, Azure, Copilot, and OneStream support emerging agentic Finance workflows

Whether you're evaluating SAP S/4HANA, actively migrating, or already live, you'll leave with practical strategies for accelerating finance transformation while supporting your broader ERP roadmap.
