Coming from IBM planning Analytics (TM1) and Anaplan background OneStream first-hand experience was quite distinctive& interesting.

There is no prerequisites to have experience in any EPM tool but it provides slight edge.

Anyone with technical / finance background can learn this tool.

As compared to other EPM tool OneStream has unique capability of both Financial consolidation & Planning in same platform.

I started initially with OneStream Essentials-Getting Started with OneStream. This module provides the basic information about tool as well capability of the tool. This model was helpful to continue certification journey.

Below are 3 certifications/Badges for beginner level. All this course need between 20-30 hours to complete.

OneStream Essentials: Implementing OneStream
OneStream Architect Design an application

How will this course help you?

One of the main benefits I found through taking this course was the to follow best practices. who earned this certification have demonstrated the knowledge to analyze customer requirements and initiate the design of a OneStream application.

Additionally, earning OneStream Badge demonstrates key industry knowledge to customers and can help differentiate employees in today’s competitive world.

OneStream Essentials: Implementing OneStream; This module covers key components of tool & build the application along with best practice. I spent around 3 hours per day to absorb the concept. This model is broken out into multiple chapters. I was able to cover 1-2 chapter each day. Each chapter has hands on Lab and test which needs to be completed before moving onto next chapter. Over all 12 assessment tests are included in these modules. Question can be a little tricky, completing LAB / hands on exercises helped me a lot to tackle the questions.

OneStream Architect: Design an application: Learning Path provides students with access to metadata, workflow, and model design-related courses. Using a variety of interactive tools, students can navigate through a series of lessons and activities that enable them to comprehend the key elements of a project’s design phase. This module made available only after clearing  pre-assessment test. Test followed by each chapter consist of 12 assessment tests

OneStream Essentials: Building Basic Reports: This module covers Integrating with different data sets. This module contains 16 assessment tests.

Keys to successfully completion of the certificate:
