Connected Planning, Smarter Decisions: Breaking Data Barriers with OneStream - Episode 66

Finance teams can’t plan in the dark. In this episode, we dive into how siloed data slows decision-making — and how OneStream helps unify financial and operational data into one clear view.

From nearshoring pressures to real-time supply chain shifts, disconnected systems create hidden risks that slow forecasts, undermine trust, and limit agility. When finance, operations, and planning teams are working in silos, decisions lag behind reality — and strategy suffers.

Host Andy Smetana explores the real costs of siloed data and how OneStream enables connected planning. You’ll hear how finance leaders are using unified data, guided workflows, and cross-functional visibility to forecast faster, respond quicker, and make smarter business moves.

This episode features two real-world success stories:

A global water and wastewater treatment company that automated consolidations, eliminated spreadsheet chaos, and integrated directly with SAP for live financial and operational visibility.

A U.S. academic medical center that consolidated budgeting, forecasting, and capital planning into OneStream, enabling faster cycle times and aligning finance with academic and clinical leaders.
