# EMASPHERE > EMASPHERE is a finance-native data platform: the intelligent data foundation for your business and your AI. It connects to a company's accounting, ERP, CRM, HR and POS software, structures financial and operational data into one validated, historized data model with business logic built in, and makes that model available for analysis, dashboards and AI assistants (including through a native MCP server). Founded in 2015 by a former CFO, EMASPHERE is used by more than 10,000 companies and offers 250+ connectors. Tagline: "One trusted data foundation. Endless possibilities." Key facts: - Company: EMASPHERE SA (Belgian company number 0538.597.349), founded in 2015. Headquarters: Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. - Leadership: Bart Baute, CEO. Hugues Vandepeutte, co-founder and former CFO. - Experience: more than 10 years supporting finance, management and operational teams. - Team: 65+ employees. - Offices: Ghent and Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium), Paris (Levallois-Perret, France). - Markets: a strong presence across the Benelux, France and the United Kingdom. - Scale: more than 10,000 companies work on the platform, directly and through partners; 250+ connectors to accounting, ERP, CRM, HR and payroll, banking and operational systems (including Sage, Xero, NetSuite, Exact, Odoo, Cegid, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, HubSpot, Salesforce); 70+ partners in 10+ countries. - Languages: the platform and website are available in French, English and Dutch. - Pricing: EMASPHERE is priced as a yearly subscription based on the data sources and entities you connect and how your team works with the data (EXPLORE or GOVERN), with one-off implementation services quoted separately and no per-user pricing. - Who it is for: strategic CFOs and finance teams, business leaders of mid-market and multi-entity companies, and software providers who want to embed analytics in their own product (white label). - What it does: automated data collection from 250+ sources; a structured, historized data model; a semantic layer with industry business logic (consistent KPIs without manual calculation); multi-entity consolidation (multi-currency, intercompany eliminations); cash, budget and forecast analysis; drill-down to the transaction; dashboards and sharing. - AI: EMASPHERE structures and validates data so AI answers are traceable and auditable. Its native MCP server (Model Context Protocol) lets users connect an AI assistant such as Claude or an OpenAI model to their own EMASPHERE data, within their existing access rights. - How it differs from BI tools: BI tools display data; EMASPHERE first integrates, structures, validates and contextualizes it, so any BI tool, spreadsheet or AI works from the same trusted model. - How it differs from building in-house: no data team, warehouse or connector maintenance to build; the data model and business logic are ready to use. ## Product - [EMASPHERE solution](https://www.emasphere.com/en/emasphere-solution): Overview of the platform, from data collection to decisions. - [Data foundation](https://www.emasphere.com/en/data-foundation): How 250+ sources are ingested into one structured, historized data model. - [Enrichment and semantic layer](https://www.emasphere.com/en/enrichment-semantic-layer): Business logic and consistent KPIs built into the model. - [Analytics and AI decisions](https://www.emasphere.com/en/analytics-ai-decisions): Analysis, dashboards and AI-assisted decisions on trusted data. - [Features](https://www.emasphere.com/en/features): Consolidation, operational reporting, cash, analytics, forecasting and drill-down. - [Connectors](https://www.emasphere.com/en/connectors): The full list of accounting, ERP, CRM, HR and POS connectors. - [Insights Platform](https://www.emasphere.com/en/insights-platform): White-label embedded analytics for software providers. ## AI and MCP - [AI you can trust](https://www.emasphere.com/en/ai): Why AI needs a reliable data foundation, and how the native MCP server works. - [AI-ready data](https://www.emasphere.com/en/ai-ready-data): What makes company data ready for AI analysis. - [AI Connector privacy policy](https://www.emasphere.com/en/ai-policy): How data is handled when an AI assistant is connected through the EMASPHERE MCP server. ## Who it is for - [Strategic CFOs](https://www.emasphere.com/en/strategic-cfos): A cross-domain view of performance for finance leaders. - [Business leaders](https://www.emasphere.com/en/business-leaders): One source of truth across Finance, HR and CRM. - [Software providers](https://www.emasphere.com/en/software-providers): Embedded financial and operational analytics for SaaS vendors. ## Why EMASPHERE - [Buy vs build](https://www.emasphere.com/en/buy-vs-build): The full cost of building your own data model versus using a platform. - [EMASPHERE vs BI tools](https://www.emasphere.com/en/emasphere-vs-bi): What each approach covers and why data structure comes first. - [Customer stories](https://www.emasphere.com/en/customer-stories): How companies use EMASPHERE, with measured results. - [Clients](https://www.emasphere.com/en/clients): Who uses EMASPHERE. - [Partners](https://www.emasphere.com/en/partners): The partner ecosystem of accountants, consultants and integrators. - [About EMASPHERE](https://www.emasphere.com/en/about-us): History, founders and team. ## Resources - [Ebooks](https://www.emasphere.com/en/ebooks): Free guides on consolidation, cash, budgeting, KPIs and AI in finance. - [Webinars](https://www.emasphere.com/en/webinars): Replays on cash, budget, consolidation, dashboards, AI and HR. - [Blog](https://www.emasphere.com/en/content/blog): Articles on finance data, consolidation and AI. - [Quizzes and calculators](https://www.emasphere.com/en/quiz): Free tools, including the Excel reporting cost calculator. ## Contact - [Book a demo](https://www.emasphere.com/en/get-in-touch): Introduction call with the EMASPHERE team. - [Contact us](https://www.emasphere.com/en/contact): General questions, partner requests and applications. ## French and Dutch versions - [Accueil (FR)](https://www.emasphere.com/fr/) and [Home (NL)](https://www.emasphere.com/nl/) - [Solution EMASPHERE (FR)](https://www.emasphere.com/fr/solution-emasphere) and [EMASPHERE oplossing (NL)](https://www.emasphere.com/nl/emasphere-oplossing) - [IA (FR)](https://www.emasphere.com/fr/ia) and [AI (NL)](https://www.emasphere.com/nl/ai) - [Connecteurs (FR)](https://www.emasphere.com/fr/connecteurs) and [Connectoren (NL)](https://www.emasphere.com/nl/connectoren) - [Retours d'expérience (FR)](https://www.emasphere.com/fr/retours-d-experience) and [Klantengetuigenissen (NL)](https://www.emasphere.com/nl/klantengetuigenissen) - [Acheter ou construire (FR)](https://www.emasphere.com/fr/pourquoi-acheter-ou-construire) and [Kopen of bouwen (NL)](https://www.emasphere.com/nl/kopen-of-bouwen) - [EMASPHERE vs BI (FR)](https://www.emasphere.com/fr/pourquoi-vs-bi) and [EMASPHERE vs BI (NL)](https://www.emasphere.com/nl/emasphere-vs-bi) - [Prendre rendez-vous (FR)](https://www.emasphere.com/fr/contactez-nous) and [Demo aanvragen (NL)](https://www.emasphere.com/nl/get-in-touch) ## Optional - [Privacy policy](https://www.emasphere.com/en/privacy) - [General terms and conditions of use](https://www.emasphere.com/en/general-terms-and-conditions-of-use) - [Careers](https://www.emasphere.com/en/careers)
