Modern EPM in Action: Rethinking the Future of Finance with SAP Analytics Cloud + Group Reporting

Finance teams today are expected to do more than close the books. They’re expected to connect strategy, execution, and insight across the entire enterprise. 

But for many organizations, enterprise performance management (EPM) processes are still fragmented. Planning often happens in spreadsheets; forecasting is disconnected from operations, and consolidations remain manual and time-consuming. The result? Finance teams spend more time reconciling data than analyzing it. 

That’s why Analysis Prime created the new four-part webinar series, Modern EPM in Action: Building a Connected P&L with SAP Analytics Cloud. 

Why We Created This Series 

At Analysis Prime, we partner with organizations that are rethinking the role of finance in driving growth and agility. With the power of SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) and SAP Group Reporting, companies can bring together planning, consolidation, and analytics in a single, connected EPM ecosystem. 

This series was built to help finance leaders see what that future looks like in action. 

Across four sessions, we’ll explore how modern EPM is reshaping financial strategy. From building a connected P&L and driver-based forecasts to aligning margin and workforce planning, all the way through to consolidations and intelligent automation. Each session blends real-world insights, best practices, and live demos designed to help finance teams make confident, data-driven decisions.

Session 1: Building the Foundation – The Connected Finance Model Learn how to link your P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow into one unified model to create the foundation for modern EPM.

Bringing Planning & Consolidation Together 

Modern EPM isn’t just about faster planning cycles. It’s about creating a unified financial rhythm that connects actuals, forecasts, and strategic insights. 

By integrating SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Group Reporting, finance teams can move seamlessly from planning to consolidation, ensuring every decision is grounded in accurate, up-to-date financial data. This approach eliminates data silos, accelerates the close-to-plan process, and empowers leaders with a single version of the truth.
