OneStream’s SensibleAI portfolio empowers the Office of Finance by unifying quantitative, generative, and agentic AI capabilities into purpose-built Finance solutions and surfacing them into existing workflows Finance leaders already trust and know. Built directly on the OneStream platform, SensibleAI Forecast, Studio, and Agent solutions provide contextualized insights – from financial intelligence to workflow state, consolidation status and more – to ensure decisions are made with accuracy, confidence, and speed.

“Accuracy is non-negotiable in finance,” said Tom Shea, CEO at OneStream. “Public LLMs and generic AI toolkits lack the corporate data integrity and financial acuity that Finance requires. CFOs need AI built on clean data – so they can make real decisions, not guesswork. Our customers are using our SensibleAI to run faster planning cycles and improve forecasting accuracy, achieving an average of 86% faster planning cycles and 27% increase in forecasting accuracy, showing what’s possible when AI is built specifically for finance. IDC’s recognition of our AI leadership in enterprise planning, budgeting, and forecasting underscores how we are leading AI adoption in Finance.”

Extensibility for the Future

The IDC MarketScape also noted OneStream’s key strengths including:

• The extensibility of the platform through Genesis Blocks and its Solution Exchange of approximately 100 downloadable solutions enables customers to adapt and expand functionality without heavy customization.
• The platform enables detailed planning via registers, dynamic cube services, and line item modeling for workforce, capital, cash, revenue, and other types of planning while linking offline models to core financials to support real-time operational planning without throwaway spreadsheets.
• Metadata-driven configuration and prebuilt Genesis Blocks enable core applications and reporting within relatively short time frames, helping streamline migrations from legacy systems.
