Blueprint and governance
The dimension design, extensibility levels, the workflow profile for each entity and the consolidation rules are agreed with the group controller and the planning lead before the application is built.
Platform implementation
OneStream
We implement OneStream so consolidation, planning and reporting run on one platform and one data model, removing the reconciliations between separate close and budget tools.
OneStream replaces several tools at once, so the work centres on the financial model: entities, accounts, flows and the consolidation rules for ownership, eliminations and currency translation. Gulf groups often hold entities in several jurisdictions with minority interests, VAT in each country, zakat in Saudi Arabia and corporate tax in the UAE, and all of it has to land in one consolidated view.
We use Extensible Dimensionality so that business units can plan in more detail than group reporting without breaking the consolidation. Data arrives through the workflow and stage engine with validation and confirmation rules, business rules are written in VB.NET or C#, and reports are built in cube views and dashboards.

How we implement OneStream
From blueprint to go-live and beyond: configuration, integration and support from one accountable team.
Close and consolidation
Ownership, eliminations, currency translation and journal workflows, configured and reconciled to the ledger for an agreed number of past periods.
Solution Exchange add-ons
Solutions such as account reconciliations, close task management and people planning, assessed and configured only where they fill a real gap.
Planning on the same cube
Budget and forecast scenarios built on the consolidation model, so plan and actual compare on identical structures.
Hypercare and managed support
OneStream issues new platform versions periodically, and we schedule each upgrade with you and test rules, workflows and reports before it goes ahead. Between upgrades we support every close, maintain metadata and tune business rules that slow down.
Ready for OneStream: the signs
OneStream fits groups that want to retire several finance tools for close, consolidation, planning and reporting in one move, and have the finance and technical capacity for a broader single platform.
- Separate consolidation and planning tools whose numbers no longer agree
- A group controller sponsoring one financial model for every unit
- Ownership and intercompany data that can be loaded and checked
- In-house staff willing to learn business rules and workflow
