Yes, there’s a 14 day free trial for Omni. As power users ourselves, we strongly believe any TM1 Administrator or Developer will see the value of Omni almost immediately.
Omni provides rapid time-to-value, allowing you to go from installation to comprehensive model insight in under 20 minutes. Its plug-and-play nature means immediate empowerment for your TM1 developers and administrators.
By providing automated and visual documentation of your TM1 models, Omni significantly reduces reliance on individual developers' undocumented knowledge. This streamlines knowledge transfer and accelerates onboarding for new team members or consultants.
Omni’s cost-to-value is immense. Omni can deliver significant ROI by saving an estimated 400-600 hours annually per client, leading to annual cost reductions of approximately US$62,400+. It can boost TM1 administrator and developer efficiency by up to 40-70%.
Most IBM Planning Analytics (TM1) users are large enterprises with stringent data security requirements. As such, Omni is a full on-premise software with no internet connection requirements, even for software licensing.
Omni connects to your TM1 instances via REST API. It uses SSL for secure communication.
Given that Omni is an entity relationship diagramming tool, it does not store your data or other potentially sensitive information like your chart of accounts, organisation chart. It stores the metadata (the structure) of your TM1 model. No data (what’s inside the cubes), gets pulled over to Omni.
Furthermore, Omni is an on-premise software that does not connect to the internet. So everything stays within your environment.
Omni is a fairly lightweight and efficient application. We would recommend:
Omni ensures that your critical financial planning data and model IP remain securely within your own environment due to its on-premise deployment. It's crucial for audit and compliance requirements by providing robust documentation and change tracking.
Yes, it works with IBM Planning Analytics on Cloud. You will have to use the non-interactive account to access the TM1 REST API. Do note that IBM does not permit you to install 3rd party software on their servers, so you will have to provision your own server to host Omni.
Omni is built with a modern, agile architecture, allowing for rapid feature iteration based on direct customer feedback. You can view and contribute to our roadmap at roadmap.omnitm1.com.
