If capital planning feels more chaotic than strategic, you’re not alone. In this solo episode of CPM Customer Success, Andy Smetana tackles one of the most critical—and frustrating—areas of finance: capital planning. From siloed spreadsheets and unclear ROI to approval bottlenecks and governance gaps, Andy explains why many organizations are making multimillion-dollar decisions without the visibility or confidence they need—and how OneStream’s Capital Planning solution changes that.
Andy breaks down what modern capital planning should look like and why traditional approaches fail finance teams. The episode explores the top pain points organizations face when managing capex, including disconnected tools, manual processes, and poor alignment between planning and actuals. Andy then walks through how OneStream’s Capital Planning solution—available in the OneStream Marketplace—simplifies fixed asset tracking, depreciation, approvals, and capital forecasting within a single, unified platform. Real-world examples bring it to life, including a federal agency that cut more than 300 hours per month from reporting and a global manufacturer that eliminated Excel chaos while improving asset governance and decision-making.
