CFOs and finance leaders
Guidance on transformation planning, organizational change, technology selection, and holding enterprise consistency alongside business unit autonomy.
The Harmony Unleashed™ AI Assistant
An implementation consultant for enterprise performance management, available whenever the question comes up.
Overview
The assistant is built on the OpenAI platform and configured against decades of implementation practice, extending the methods set out in Harmony Unleashed™ into an interactive form.
It provides general enterprise performance management guidance that applies across platforms, and carries deeper configuration for OneStream Software's unified extensible financial platform, covering current capabilities and established practice.
Who It Serves
Three roles, three different questions
Administrators and implementation teams
System configuration, data architecture, dimensional modeling, business rule creation, and platform-specific implementation detail.
Consultants and transformation leads
Client engagement practice, methods for complex implementations, validation logic development, and industry-specific financial management context.

How It Works
Conversational, and aware of the method
The assistant runs through the ChatGPT interface and responds in context rather than returning generic search results. What separates it from a general-purpose model is what it already knows: the complete Harmony Unleashed™ methodology, enterprise performance management practice, consolidation and forecasting requirements, and the principles behind distributed financial management.
Guidance stays consistent with the published method, so answers given to one team member align with answers given to another across every phase of a program.
Questions it handles well
- How should we sequence data collection across global entities?
- What is the right approach to intercompany eliminations in a distributed model?
- Design dimensional hierarchies for this product structure.
- Build a testing strategy for our consolidation logic.
- Generate sample business rules for revenue recognition across multiple currencies.
Boundaries
What it does not do
Stating the limits matters as much as stating the capability.
It does not execute software
The assistant does not run OneStream, execute consolidations, or process data in your environment. It advises on how to design, configure, and troubleshoot. Your team performs the implementation.
It does not retain your conversations
Nothing you type is stored, retained, or learned from. Guidance comes from refreshed practice rather than from your data.
It does not handle confidential data
The assistant does not accept, store, or process sensitive company data. It can help you design governance approaches for handling confidential information, and responsibility for data security and compliance remains with your organization.
It does not replace vendor support
For issues requiring direct access to your system, vendor tickets, or production fixes, use your official support channels and your implementation partner.
Getting Started
How to get access
Two steps, and you may already have done the first.
- A ChatGPT account. Free or paid tier, either works. The assistant runs on that platform.
- An email. Send your role and the program you are working on. You will receive current terms, pricing, and an access link.
Privacy and security. The assistant operates within the OpenAI security framework. Follow standard data privacy practice and avoid sharing confidential company information, proprietary data, or sensitive financial detail in conversation.
