What is EPMware?

EPMware is a master data management and workflow tool that manages master data and enforces your organization's workflow around everyday processes that surround metadata changes. By configuring shared dimensions in EPMware, users request metadata once and our workflow engine routes the request to obtain approvals and deploys the metadata to participating target systems.

  • Workflow Automation - Built-in workflow engine for routing and approvals
  • Seamless Integration - Direct integration with Hyperion EPMA, Classic HFM, Classic Essbase, and Classic Planning
  • Real-time Dashboard - Monitor request status and identify bottlenecks
