What Empower is
Empower is Metapraxis’s purpose-built FP&A and business intelligence platform, developed from more than four decades of work with mid-market finance teams. It sits above operational source systems such as ERP, CRM, and HR platforms as a dedicated management intelligence environment.
The platform integrates data, structures it in a driver-based planning model, and delivers it through automated reports and guided analysis tools for finance teams and executives.
Core capabilities
Empower provides four integrated capabilities: automated data integration from source systems, driver-based planning built from operational assumptions, automated reporting for board packs and management accounts, and guided analysis that leads users through the questions their data should answer.
Together, these capabilities reduce manual spreadsheet work and give small finance teams the infrastructure normally associated with much larger organisations.
Guided analysis in Empower
Empower’s guided analysis gives executives and finance users a structured journey through performance. Rather than presenting a blank dashboard, it answers recurring questions in sequence: Where are we against plan? What are the biggest variances? What is driving them? What is the forward outlook?
This reduces the time from data to decision and ensures stakeholders work from the same analysis.
How Empower sits above ERP
Empower is not an ERP and does not replace one. It is a Meta-Layer above ERP and operational systems, pulling transaction-level data, transforming it into management-ready information, and providing the planning, analysis, and reporting that ERP does not deliver.
Businesses running SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, or other ERP systems can deploy Empower without changing their operational infrastructure.
Who uses Empower
Empower is designed for mid-market businesses, typically £20m to £500m in revenue, with finance teams that need board-quality FP&A without the complexity of enterprise EPM platforms.
It is commonly deployed in PE-backed businesses, professional services firms, and multi-entity businesses where consolidation complexity exceeds what Excel can reliably support.
