Lumel launches Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) in Microsoft Fabric To Build And Manage Planning Workflows For The AI Era

Lumel Enterprise Performance Management enables business users to build and manage sophisticated planning workflows - such as budgeting, forecasting, and scenario modeling - directly in Microsoft Fabric

PLANO, Texas, Sept. 16, 2025 -- Lumel, the creator of Inforiver, a leading global provider of planning and analytics software, today announced the General Availability of Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) in Microsoft Fabric. Lumel EPM enables business users to build and manage sophisticated planning workflows - such as budgeting, forecasting, scenario modeling, and driver-based planning - directly in Microsoft Fabric, eliminating data silos and replication through a no-code, self-service interface.

Built natively as an ISV workload in Microsoft Fabric, Lumel EPM empowers enterprises to:

• Enable No-Code Self-Service: Lumel EPM enables business users to develop integrated planning applications and analytics in Microsoft Fabric through a no-code, self-service interface.
• Unify Architecture: This architecture integrates enterprise planning with business data into a single platform in Microsoft Fabric, reducing duplication and minimizing data transfer between systems unifying all data on Microsoft OneLake. 
• Usage-Based Pricing: Lumel EPM introduces an 'actual usage/ consumption' pricing model, freeing enterprises from expensive annual contracts and encouraging ad-hoc, seasonal, and occasional budget input users to adopt and drive optimal total cost of ownership (TCO).

As a native ISV workload, Lumel EPM in Microsoft Fabric enables businesses to build and manage planning workflows in Microsoft Fabric.

The Lumel EPM Suite, now a native workload in Microsoft Fabric, empowers business users to build no-code planning, analytics, and data management apps directly on top of semantic models. From dynamic planning templates and real-time writeback to scenario analysis, approvals, and integrated BI, watch how Lumel transforms enterprise planning in minutes.

"Enterprise leaders face unprecedented challenges from fragmented planning tools and data silos to manage their business planning process" said Gopal Krishnamurthy, Founder & CEO of Lumel. "Lumel EPM is designed to eliminate that fragmentation. By integrating planning data, workflows and analytics in Microsoft Fabric, we enable organizations to move faster, think smarter, and prepare their business for an AI-driven future."

"The innovation we're seeing from our ISV partners in Microsoft Fabric is extraordinary, and Lumel is a prime example," said Dipti Borkar, Vice President and GM at Microsoft. "By building their comprehensive EPM suite to run natively in Microsoft Fabric and by reusing customers' investments in Power BI semantic models, enterprises can unlock unprecedented agility and AI readiness. We are proud to have Lumel as a strategic partner and look forward to the additional value they bring to our Fabric users."

The launch of the Lumel EPM Suite builds on Lumel's longstanding commitment to innovation in the Microsoft ecosystem.
