At a time when finance departments are accelerating their digital transformation, choosing an EPM solution is becoming a major strategic challenge. With a growing number of vendors, complex functionalities and pressure to deliver value quickly, companies face a significant challenge: how can they select the right platform without bias or wasting time?
It is precisely with this objective in mind that Pilotia developed its EPM comparator, a structured and innovative approach to guiding finance decision-makers towards the right choice.
A practical response to the complexity of the EPM market
The EPM market has never been so crowded. Solutions such as OneStream, Pigment, Anaplan and CCH Tagetik offer varied approaches that can sometimes be difficult to compare objectively.
With EPM Scan™ Pro, the comparator developed by Pilotia, the objective is clear: to make decision-making objective through a rigorous methodology.
Unlike traditional comparisons, which are often influenced by commercial bias or generic analyses, this tool provides a customised assessment based on the company's actual needs.
A consulting-inspired methodology, accessible in just a few minutes
The Pilotia EPM comparator is based on a structured approach drawn from consulting best practices:
Analysis of priority use cases (budgeting, forecasting, consolidation, HR, supply chain)
Consideration of the level of organisational maturity
Assessment of technical and budgetary constraints
Multi-criteria scoring based on more than 180 indicators (in the advanced version)
In just a few minutes, users receive:
- A complete PDF diagnostic of the strengths and risks of their EPM project
- a customised ranking of the solutions best suited to their criteria
a clear view of the strengths and limitations of each tool
An action plan to secure their project and move on to the next steps
An effective way to move from a complex market to an actionable shortlist.
A lever for acceleration for finance departments
For CFOs and FP&A teams responsible for operational planning, the Pilotia EPM comparator addresses several key challenges:
1/ Save time
No more lengthy benchmarking cycles or poorly targeted exploratory RFPs. The comparator makes it possible to significantly reduce the pre-selection phase.
2/ Make choices more reliable
By relying on an objective analysis framework, companies limit selection errors, which are often costly in EPM.
3/ Structure the thought process
Beyond the result, the tool helps to clarify internal needs, an aspect that is often underestimated in transformation projects.
Towards a new standard for selecting EPM solutions
The success of initiatives such as EPM Scan™ illustrates an underlying trend: the convergence of consulting expertise and digital tools.
Finance departments are no longer looking only for generic rankings, but for contextualised recommendations tailored to their operational reality.
In this context, the Pilotia EPM comparator stands out as a strategic decision-support tool, capable of supporting companies from the earliest stages of their thinking.
With EPM projects accelerating and pressure on results increasing, the choice of a solution can no longer be based on intuition or vendor reputation.
With this comparator, Pilotia offers a modern, structured and pragmatic approach:
putting data and methodology at the service of financial decision-making.
A positioning that could well redefine the standards for selecting EPM solutions in the years ahead.
