A modern Excel experience for IBM Planning Analytics

Cube Viewer & Subset Editor
A full Cube Viewer and Subset Editor built directly into Excel — no need to switch to another application when you want to explore your data.
Sandbox & writeback
Create sandboxes and write data back to IBM Planning Analytics directly from your Excel workbook. Plan and scenario-model without affecting live data.
Drill-through & annotations
Drill through to source data from any cell and add annotations to document decisions — all without leaving Excel.
Seamless upgrade from Perspectives
Slice is the natural successor to Perspectives. Existing workbooks and templates migrate with virtually no learning curve.
Get your data into IBM Planning Analytics without IT
Atmosphere connects Finance teams to every data source they rely on — ERP, CRM, cloud platforms, and more — with no-code pipelines Finance can own and run.
34+ pre-built connectors
Connect to Dynamics 365, NetSuite, SAP, Snowflake, Databricks, Salesforce, and many more — with connectors that understand your GL and ERP structures out of the box.
Finance-owned schedules
Set up pipelines on your own schedule and update them when your requirements change — without raising IT tickets or waiting for developer support.
Two-way data pipelines
Push plan data and business structures back to downstream systems automatically — keeping BI, data warehouses, and operational systems aligned with the latest actuals and forecasts.
Secure by design
All data is encrypted in-transit. No data is stored by Atmosphere. Enterprise-grade access controls ensure the right people see the right data.
Cloud-native by default
Run pipelines without maintaining servers or VPN tunnels. Atmosphere connects to your sources securely from the cloud, with elastic capacity for peak loads.
Pipeline monitoring
See every run at a glance, with clear logs, error notifications, and retry controls. Catch broken loads early — before close week is at risk.
IBM Planning Analytics data in Microsoft Power BI
PowerConnect provides a live, secure connection from your TM1 cubes to Power BI — so your dashboards always reflect current data without manual exports.
Live TM1 connection
Connect Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service directly to your IBM Planning Analytics cubes — on-premises, cloud, or hybrid — for always-current reports.
Automatic dimension sync
IBM Planning Analytics hierarchies and dimensions sync automatically to Power BI. No manual updates when your model changes — reports always reflect the latest structure.
Security integration
PowerConnect integrates with your existing IBM Planning Analytics security model — so users only see the data they're entitled to, both in TM1 and in Power BI.
Ad-hoc & scheduled refresh
Refresh data on demand or on a schedule. Works with Power BI Desktop, Service, and mobile — without any manual data exports or file transfers.
Rich Power BI visuals
Use the full Power BI visual library on top of TM1 data — charts, maps, slicers, and custom visuals — without flattening cubes or losing hierarchies.
On-prem, cloud or hybrid
Whether your TM1 estate runs on-premises, in IBM Cloud, or in a hybrid setup, PowerConnect connects the same way — no separate flavours to maintain.
