SAP BPC (and its successor, S/4HANA Group Reporting with SAC) is built for SAP shops — tied to SAP licensing and roadmap, complex, and consultant-heavy. Konsolidat gives you the same consolidation on an open backend. The SAP S/4HANA connector is engineered and connected during a fixed-scope pilot onboarding — your ERP team provides OData access; we build the adapter.
The BPC → Group Reporting migration is a forced journey on SAP's timeline. Konsolidat is independent and MIT-licensed.
SAP EPM implementations need SAP-certified partners. Konsolidat is open SQL your own team can run and extend.
The S/4HANA adapter — built during your pilot — reads from SAP via OData, the same source of truth, without the SAP-EPM premium or lock-in.
An honest comparison for a 10–500 user enterprise group over a three-year horizon. Figures are typical ranges, not quotes.
| Capability / Cost factor | Konsolidat | SAP BPC / Group Reporting |
|---|---|---|
| 3-Year licensing | $0 (MIT) | $$$ SAP-tied |
| Implementation | Low–moderate | High (SAP partner) |
| Time-to-value | Weeks–3 months | 12–18 months |
| Excel-native UX | ✓ =EPM() native | ⚠ EPM add-in |
| Statutory consolidation (IC / NCI / CTA) | ✓ Engine-driven | ✓ Strong |
| SAP S/4HANA integration | ⚠ Connector built during pilot | ⚠ Connector / ETL |
| Source code access | ✓ Full MIT | ✗ |
| Vendor lock-in | None | High |

SAP BPC, like every commercial EPM, is a closed SaaS you rent — the model, the data, the roadmap, all on the vendor’s terms. Konsolidat gives you the whole application to run on your own infrastructure, inspect, fork, and own.
There is no self-serve SAP button — and we won't pretend otherwise. For SAP S/4HANA, the adapter is engineered during a fixed-scope, 4-week paid pilot that stands up a real consolidation on your data. Here's exactly what your team brings to make it move fast.
Konsolidat is an open-source EPM alternative to SAP BPC / Group Reporting: Excel-native consolidation, allocation, budgeting and variance on a ClickHouse + dbt backend, connected to SAP and Microsoft Dynamics, with no license fee under MIT. It's a lower-cost, lower-lock-in option — not a feature-for-feature replacement in every niche.
Self-hosted Konsolidat has no license fee (MIT); your only cost is operating it. A managed option is available. SAP BPC / Group Reporting typically involves six- to seven-figure licensing plus implementation over three years.
It's delivered as part of a paid pilot, not as a self-serve download. The S/4HANA adapter is engineered during the 4-week pilot against your OData services; you provide the endpoint and authentication, we build and validate the extract. SAP ECC is on the roadmap.
Yes — multi-entity IFRS/GAAP consolidation with FX translation, CTA, intercompany elimination, NCI and ownership changes, validated by 26 automated tests on every run.
Yes. Results come through =EPM() worksheet functions in the spreadsheets finance already uses — no new modeling UI to learn.
