Conncise

What do you use Conncise for?

Conncise is software that helps finance organizations make EPM data truly usable in Power BI, with quick implementation in the existing environment. It is used by organizations that:

• base management and board reporting on EPM data
• want to accelerate month-end and reporting cycles
• analyze variances with full drill-down across time and dimensions
• want to replace spreadsheet-driven reporting with self-service dashboarding
• need one reliable and explainable source for EPM analytics

By replacing spreadsheet-based reporting, Conncise helps create a single, governed source of truth. Its strength lies in automatically generating a semantic model that follows the EPM model. As a result, numbers remain consistent even when structures or definitions change. Power BI becomes a logical extension of EPM rather than a separate analytics layer. Conncise complements this model with contextual commentary and scalable security for comprehensive management reporting.

Conncise is especially valuable when EPM complexity slows down reporting or makes insights difficult to explain.

Who uses Conncise?

Conncise is used in organizations where EPM and reporting play a central role. You typically see it with teams that:

• work with EPM models of any complexity
• report to management, boards or external stakeholders
• need transparent and explainable numbers
• want to use Power BI without becoming dependent on IT

Users are often controllers, FP&A professionals and BI specialists responsible for reporting and analysis. IT is involved from a governance and security perspective, but no longer needs to support every change or correction.

What these users share is the need for numbers that are not only available, but also easy to explain.

Finext & Conncise

At Finext, we believe technology should reduce complexity, not shift it elsewhere. We work with Conncise to bridge the gap between EPM and Power BI in a way that works in daily practice.We support organizations by deciding where Power BI adds value on top of EPM, designing clear reporting structures and definitions, implementing Conncise within existing governance and security standards, and enabling finance teams to work independently with confidence.Conncise fits our belief that good finance starts with clarity, ownership and explainable insights.

Our goal is to ensure Conncise does not become an extra layer, but instead brings clarity and calm. So finance can trust the numbers and the organization gains faster insight.

When is Conncise a good fit?

Conncise is a strong choice when:

• EPM data is still manually translated into reports
• Power BI is underused or difficult to maintain for EPM
• reporting cycles take too much time
• more insight is needed without increasing the workload for IT

If the EPM setup itself requires stablilization, the focus should first be on getting the basics right. Automation and acceleration deliver value only when the foundation is solid.
