What Is EPM?
Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) refers to the integrated set of processes, methodologies, and tools that organizations use to plan, budget, forecast, consolidate financial results, and report on business performance. EPM platforms connect strategic goals to operational execution by providing a unified environment for financial planning, revenue forecasting, workforce planning, capital allocation, and management reporting.
Unlike general-purpose BI tools (which analyze historical data interactively) or ERP systems (which record financial transactions), EPM platforms are forward-looking – they focus on what should happen next. EPM bridges the gap between where a business is (actuals from ERP) and where it wants to go (plans, budgets, forecasts). The output of EPM feeds executive decision-making, board reporting, and regulatory financial disclosures.
Modern EPM platforms range from spreadsheet-connected planning tools (extending Excel with centralized models) to full-stack enterprise suites handling multi-entity consolidation, intercompany eliminations, currency translation, and statutory reporting. The market includes open-source self-hosted options, mid-market SaaS platforms, and large enterprise suites from Oracle, SAP, and IBM.

Comparison
SSO / OIDC Comparison
OIDC is the preferred SSO protocol. Most enterprise EPM platforms support SAML as the primary SSO mechanism; OIDC support varies. The Authentik notes below assume an OIDC/SAML identity provider.
| Tool | OIDC | SAML | SCIM | Authentik Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jedox | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO; Authentik as SAML IdP; LDAP sync for users |
| Adaptive Planning | Yes* | Yes | Yes | Workday SSO (SAML primary); OIDC via Workday identity; SCIM provisioning; Authentik as SAML IdP |
| Anaplan | No | Yes | Yes | SAML SSO; SCIM user provisioning; no native OIDC; Authentik as SAML IdP |
| Oracle EPM Cloud | Yes | Yes | Yes | Oracle Identity Cloud SAML/OIDC; SCIM via IDCS; Authentik federation via SAML |
| SAP BPC | No | Yes | No | SAP SSO via SAML; no native OIDC; no SCIM; Authentik as SAML IdP |
| OneStream | No | Yes | Yes | SAML SSO; SCIM provisioning; no native OIDC; Authentik as SAML IdP |
| Planful | No | Yes | Yes | SAML SSO; SCIM directory sync; no native OIDC; Authentik as SAML IdP |
| Vena Solutions | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO; no SCIM; no native OIDC; Authentik as SAML IdP |
| Board International | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO; LDAP integration; no OIDC; Authentik as SAML IdP |
| IBM Planning Analytics | Yes* | Yes | Yes | IBM Cloud Identity SAML/OIDC; SCIM via IBM; Authentik federation via SAML |
| CCH Tagetik | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO via Wolters Kluwer identity; no native OIDC; Authentik as SAML IdP |
| Prophix | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO; no SCIM; no native OIDC; Authentik as SAML IdP |
| Centage | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO; no SCIM; no native OIDC; Authentik as SAML IdP |
| DataRails | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO; no SCIM; no native OIDC; Authentik as SAML IdP |
| Cube | No | Yes | No | SAML SSO; no SCIM; no native OIDC; Authentik as SAML IdP |
* = requires specific identity platform configuration (Workday Identity, IBM Cloud Identity)
Best SSO support: Oracle EPM Cloud (OIDC, SAML, SCIM), Adaptive Planning (SAML, SCIM, OIDC via Workday), IBM Planning Analytics (SAML, SCIM, OIDC via IBM Cloud), Anaplan (SAML, SCIM)
SAML-dominant category: unlike BI or collaboration tools where OIDC is common, enterprise EPM platforms overwhelmingly use SAML as the primary SSO protocol. Authentik supports SAML natively, so this is not a barrier.
