CFOs and FP&A leaders are flooded with shiny "modern planning" tools, but which ones actually scale with control?
In this episode, Andy welcomes back Dave Collins, Director of Strategic Alliances at OneStream, to compare OneStream vs. Pigment in plain finance terms.
We dig into the pitfalls finance teams report with lightweight, cube-based planning tools, fragile models, technical debt, and "too many cooks" changing calculations, then contrast that with OneStream's unified platform: governed workflows, data quality checks, and extensible dimensionality that lets you plan and consolidate in one application.
Dave unpacks why consolidation isn't just "aggregation," how to avoid fragmentation from bolt-ons, and what real governance looks like when actuals, planning, reporting, and AI all live together.
