SAP BPC (and its successor, S/4HANA Group Reporting with SAC) is built for SAP shops — tied to SAP licensing and roadmap, complex, and consultant-heavy. Konsolidat connects to your SAP (ECC & S/4HANA) via OData, gives you the same consolidation, and keeps the backend open.
The BPC → Group Reporting migration is a forced journey on SAP's timeline. Konsolidat is independent and MIT-licensed.
SAP EPM implementations need SAP-certified partners. Konsolidat is open SQL your own team can run and extend.
Konsolidat pulls from SAP ECC & S/4HANA via OData — the same source of truth, without the SAP-EPM premium or lock-in.

SAP BPC, like every commercial EPM, is a closed SaaS you rent — the model, the data, the roadmap, all on the vendor’s terms. Konsolidat gives you the whole application to run on your own infrastructure, inspect, fork, and own.
Konsolidat is an open-source EPM alternative to SAP BPC / Group Reporting: Excel-native consolidation, allocation, budgeting and variance on a ClickHouse + dbt backend, connected to SAP, Microsoft Dynamics and ERPNext, with no license fee under MIT. It's a lower-cost, lower-lock-in option — not a feature-for-feature replacement in every niche.
Self-hosted Konsolidat has no license fee (MIT); your only cost is operating it. A managed option is available. SAP BPC / Group Reporting typically involves six- to seven-figure licensing plus implementation over three years.
