Best in class Corporate & Enterprise Performance Management technology solutions for organisations of all sizes.
What is Corporate & Enterprise Performance Management technology (CPM/EPM)?
Corporate Performance Management (CPM) and Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) are terms that are often used interchangeably - and for good reason. Both refer to the same thing: the processes, methodologies, and technology that finance teams use to plan, budget, forecast, consolidate, and report on business performance.
If your organisation is still managing these processes in spreadsheets, you're not alone. Most finance teams start there. But spreadsheets have a ceiling - they break under complexity, create version control nightmares, and make it nearly impossible to run real-time scenarios or produce board-ready reports without a weekend of manual work.
CPM and EPM systems replace that pain with a connected, governed platform - one that sits between your ERP and your reporting layer, and gives your finance team the tools to do what they were hired to do: analyse, advise, and drive performance.
The right CPM system transforms finance from a reporting function into a strategic one. We help you select and implement the right platform for your organisation today, and the future.
CPM/EPM brings your data sources into a finance-managed unified platform that unlocks limitless potential for finance and your organisation
AI in Modern CPM/EPM - Planning, Forecasting & Compliance is here
Finance AI has moved from buzzword to business necessity. The question is no longer whether to embed AI into your finance function - it's how to do it safely, with the governance and auditability your organisation demands.
What AI in CPM/EPM actually looks like today:
Predictive forecasting — AI models that learn from your data and surface more accurate forecasts with less manual intervention
Anomaly detection — automatically flagging variances, errors, and risks before they reach the board
Natural language reporting — ask questions of your financial data in plain English and get instant answers
Automated close tasks — reducing days in the financial close cycle through intelligent workflow automation
But AI without governance is a liability:
SOX compliance requires full auditability of every number and every process
Data security and access controls must be maintained at enterprise grade
AI outputs need to be explainable — not a black box your auditors can't interrogate
AI is now embedded in the platform and/or available via MCP connector, enabling your team to use best-in-class AI where they work and in a secure and governed way.
AI is now in CPM/EPM meaning your team can use AI tools to drive efficiency and insights in a secure way. The platforms now also have embedded AI (meaning your data is secure and execs can be comfortable they are not exposing the organisation to the risk of ungoverned AI).
We advise on and implement EPM/CPM for organisations of all shapes and sizes, from scaling-SME to global-Enterprise

Adaptive Data Foundation
Most FP&A teams don't lack data — they lack the right data, at the right level of detail, at the right time. Adaptive Data Foundation powered by Incorta connects ERP systems, CRMs, HRIS platforms, and operational planning tools directly to Workday Adaptive Planning — with data refreshes as frequently as every five minutes — so FP&A teams can forecast earlier, analyse deeper, and act before it's too late to change outcomes.

By automatically building a semantic model from your data — one that defines relationships, hierarchies, and business logic — AI can reason across your data without hallucinating. The model knows what the numbers mean, not just what they say. Workday Blog

What you can expect with a well-implemented CPM/EPM
A well-implemented CPM/EPM system doesn't just add capability - it eliminates the tools and workarounds that have delayed insights, analysis, and reporting for years. Project planning, solution design, and well managed implementation is the key to a successful CPM/EPM project.
Why all finance leaders, CFOs, CEOs, COOs, and boards should consider a Corporate & Enterprise Performance Management platform.
The best-run businesses plan continuously, report faster, and decide with confidence. Most aren't there yet - and the gap is costing them.
The problem with where most businesses are today:
Excel models that are one wrong formula away from breaking
Board packs rebuilt manually every single month
Budgets emailed back and forth with no version control
Your CFO and CEO sometimes working from different numbers
Critical decisions made on data that was already out of date
Uncontrolled and ungoverned AI usage penetrating the organisation
AI usage without sufficient business context due to lack of connected data
What a CPM platform changes:
A single, governed environment for planning, budgeting, forecasting, consolidation, and reporting
Connected directly to your ERP and key data sources
Owned and managed by your finance team - no or limited IT dependency (platform dependent)
Reforecast in hours, not weeks
One trusted picture of performance from the CFO to the board
AI agents and insights which are governed and compliant on secure data retained within the organisations
The bottom line:
When finance can rely on the data, close the books faster, forecast instantly and more accurately, model scenarios in minutes, report with the click of a button, and much more - the whole business moves smarter, executives have the information they need at the time they need it, and boards, directors, shareholders can trust the numbers. For high-performing organisations, this isn't a luxury. It's the foundation everything else is built on.
