    Good choice for SAP centric landscape

    SAP BPC supports complex planning and consolidation scenarios and it is a good choice if underlying transaction system is SAP ECC. Implementation and maintenance can be time consuming with a heavy dependency on IT team and is less business driven. EPM reporting is quite a powerful add in which can be used by end users to create reports.
