A straight guide to the legacy enterprise performance management platforms most finance teams still run. What each does, where it sits in its lifecycle, and what your options are when support runs out.
- Oracle Hyperion
- Oracle's long-standing EPM suite, made up of Hyperion Planning, HFM, and Essbase. On-premise Hyperion is in extended support with no functional roadmap.
- Oracle HFM
- Hyperion Financial Management, the consolidation engine. Legacy on-premise, so customers face a migration decision to FCCS or a unified platform like OneStream.
- Oracle FCCS
- Financial Consolidation and Close Cloud Service, Oracle's cloud successor to HFM within the Oracle EPM suite.
- SAP BPC
- SAP Business Planning and Consolidation reaches end of mainstream maintenance in 2027; SAP's successor path splits the capability across SAC and Group Reporting.
- IBM Cognos TM1
- In-memory OLAP planning engine (Planning Analytics). Deep modelling, weak governance at scale, no true statutory consolidation.
