Our Finance data products serve as the backbone for strategic planning, financial operations, and performance management across the enterprise. Designed for CFOs, FP&A leaders, Controllers, Treasury, Tax, and Audit teams, these products unify financial data from core systems such as ERP (Oracle), EPM (Anaplan, Hyperion), CPQ/CRM (Salesforce), and BI tools (Looker, Power BI, Tableau), and increasingly leverage AI to automate and elevate financial insight.

The scope spans enterprise data platforms, finance-grade semantic models, financial planning & forecasting engines, profitability modeling, cash flow analytics, margin waterfall insights, dashboards, and AI-driven forecasting and anomaly detection. These solutions help Finance improve forecasting accuracy, accelerate close and reporting cycles, optimize working capital, mitigate risk, improve cost transparency, ensure regulatory compliance, and strengthen financial governance. Over time, we aspire to commercialize these capabilities—creating differentiated data products and solutions that our customers can leverage to better engage with Equinix and transform digitally.
