Column5's Bold Next Chapter: Honoring BPC Legacy While Pioneering EPM's Future – How We're Putting You First

Posted by David Den Boer on Thu, Sep 11, 2025 @ 16:09 PM

In the ever-shifting world of Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), staying ahead means adapting without losing your core. As the founder of Column5, I've spent over 20 years innovating in this space - launching the EPM Summit in 2009 to empower BPC users, developing Darwin EPM's first-gen tools, and decoding SAP's roadmaps to help you exploit enhancements or navigate EOMM announcements. From your first BPC implementation to defining future roadmaps, our steadfast mission has been to maximize your outcomes. This earned us the title of most trusted voice in BPC, and it's a badge we wear proudly. But today, AI and agentic tech are redefining EPM, demanding flexibility across hybrid landscapes. In September 2025, I'm thrilled to announce Column5's bold next chapter: We're expanding support while doubling down on the values that earned your trust - building on our BPC foundation to address a rapidly changing market. Here's the what, why, and how it benefits you.
