What is the purpose of Data Synchronization in OneStream?

The purpose of Data Synchronization in OneStream is fundamentally about maintaining consistency and accuracy across multiple systems. This process ensures that the data being used in OneStream is aligned with data from other platforms or systems that an organization may be utilizing.

When organizations operate with various software solutions, discrepancies can arise, leading to potential errors in reporting and decision-making. Data synchronization addresses this by systematically updating and reconciling data to ensure that relevant information is consistent across these interconnected systems. This capability is critical for organizations that require accurate and reliable data for financial reporting and analysis.

While other options touch on important aspects of data management, such as isolation from external influences or data analysis, they do not align directly with the primary goal of Data Synchronization, which is to ensure consistency across systems. Archiving old data is another important function but is separate from the synchronization process itself.
