2001
SandPoint Consulting was founded in 2001 with a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by accounting and finance professionals. We began by helping clients implement OutlookSoft, providing personalized guidance and support throughout their technology transformation.
SAP's acquisition of OutlookSoft in 2007 opened new doors for us. We became experts in SAP BPC and a trusted partner for businesses seeking to optimize their budgeting, planning, and consolidation processes.
2007
2012
In 2012, we expanded our offerings to include BlackLine , a solution designed to automate accounting workflows, reduce errors, and improve overall efficiency.
When SAP announced the end of maintenance for BPC in 2019, we identified SAP Analytics Cloud for Planning as the future of EPM solutions. Since then, we’ve successfully guided numerous clients through seamless implementations and smooth migrations from BPC.

Today
SandPoint Consulting continues to help clients unlock the full potential of their technology investments. Our team's dedication to staying ahead of industry trends and best practices enables us to deliver tailored solutions that drive strategic success.
BlackLine Verity AI now includes agents that prepare account reconciliations, calculate accruals and apply cash, while accountants review and sign off.

This article looks ahead at planning, close, and consolidation technology, deliberately pushing back on inflated near-term automation predictions and grounding its outlook in the most current (2026) analyst research, CFO survey data, and vendor deployment statistics available, before extending the same underlying pattern into an honestly-labeled longer-range outlook. Part of a series marking SandPoint Consulting’s 25th anniversary.
This article traces 25 years of change in financial planning, close, and consolidation technology — from early spreadsheet-and-OLAP hybrid systems through SAP’s acquisition of OutlookSoft, the rise of dedicated close automation, the shift to cloud-native platforms, and today’s AI-assisted forecasting. Each technology era is tied to SandPoint Consulting’s own history guiding clients through these transitions, as part of a series marking the company’s 25th anniversary.
