What is the BlackLine Studio360 Platform?

The Studio360 Platform is a comprehensive platform that empowers the Office of the CFO by seamlessly connecting, orchestrating, and optimizing operations across numerous finance and accounting systems. It’s the infrastructure that surrounds and powers our solutions. Studio360 infuses AI intelligence into every process, driving digital transformation with precision and scale. This future-ready solution embodies our commitment to enabling finance teams to operate efficiently and effectively in a rapidly changing business landscape.

How does Studio360 fit into BlackLine’s existing portfolio of solutions?

Studio360 is the next-generation evolution of BlackLine’s existing portfolio, designed to integrate with—and elevate—the solutions that have made us a leader in financial close and accounting automation. Studio360 helps you to extract the maximum value from our Financial Close, Invoice-to-Cash, Intercompany, and Consolidation & Financial Analytics solutions. Not only does it coordinate across solutions, it also unifies siloed data and processes across complex systems. Studio360’s cloud-based control center gives you new visualization, orchestration, and automation capabilities. Like our other solutions, Studio360 is ERP and data agnostic. It currently provides end-to-end enhancements for our Financial Close solutions and is growing to encompass the full range of solutions we offer.

Is Studio360 intended only for enterprise-level companies?

No. While many early adopters have been enterprise accounts due to their extensive use of BlackLine’s Financial Close products, Studio360 also supports mid-sized organizations. These mid-sized companies often have complex systems and requirements that benefit from Studio360’s capabilities.

Which ERP systems does Studio360 integrate with?

Studio360 was initially designed to integrate with SAP but also supports other ERPs. Customers can integrate ERPs through BlackLine’s APIs or file ingestion capabilities, making the process more streamlined and efficient.

Are there other BlackLine solutions that are prerequisites for Studio360?

Studio360 was created to stand alone and doesn’t require other BlackLine solutions. However, you’ll get the maximum impact by using it with other BlackLine products, such as Account Reconciliation, Journal Entry, and Transaction Matching. For example, if you want to see all reconciliation-related tasks in Studio360, you’d need an Account Reconciliation license.

How long does it take to onboard with BlackLine?

The onboarding process for BlackLine is efficient and can be completed within weeks. BlackLine provides dedicated support, ensuring a smooth transition for your team.
