Retrieve and submit data from Excel, run governed versions and consolidations, and let agents monitor, analyze and model on top of it all.

Ad hoc analysis in Excel

What is Cube?

Cube is the agentic FP&A platform built for the AI era. Cube Operating Intelligence™ (CubeOI™) connects your business data to the tools where decisions happen, and an always-on Digital Finance Team of agents monitors, analyzes and models while finance keeps judgment and control.
Is Cube an Essbase alternative?
+
Yes. For teams that want to keep governed models and Excel-based workflows while putting finance-grade AI to work, Cube is a strong Essbase alternative.
What is the best EPM software for the AI era?
+
The best EPM software gives AI governed financial context grounded in the model finance actually runs, then brings it to every surface where decisions happen. Cube is built for that.
What should you look for in EPM software?

Look for a model finance can own without consultants, ad hoc analysis and data submission in Excel, governed versions and permissions, consolidation support, and AI that can trace to the source. See our pricing.
Can our team keep working in Excel?
