What Is EPF?
The Enterprise Planning Framework (EPF) integrates ERP systems, BI tools, mine planning software, and fleet management data. It uses a service-oriented architecture with Windows services and MS SQL Server to store, transform, and move datasets. EPF includes a Model Repository, OMI Transfer services, and Core Services for authorization, auditing, and monitoring. It supports on-premise, hybrid Azure, and multi-server deployments, delivering real-time visibility, coordinated decision-making, and streamlined operational workflows.
EPF Pricing
RPMGlobal EPF pricing is customized based on system scale, chosen deployment architecture, required functional modules, and the scope of implementation services.

EPF Features
Operations Hub
EPF serves as the central service bus for RPM’s mining ecosystem, connecting desktop apps like Simulate, Mine Planner, and Xeras with ERP systems (SAP, Ellipse) and operational tools (RPM MinVu, AMT). It enforces standardized data workflows through its Core Services for authorization and lifecycle management, ensuring every site follows the same controlled process.
Visibility
EPF features OMI Report database and integration with third-party BI tools, EPF unifies data from planning, production, and fleet systems into a single reporting layer. Managers can track dataset history, transfer logs, and model revisions across all connected systems, turning scattered data into a mine-wide performance dashboard.
Data Foundation
EPF’s Model Repository Service uses SQL Server FILESTREAM to centrally store and version binary mine models (e.g., block models, designs). This creates a single source of truth for geological and planning data, accessible to all RPM applications. The system scales from single-server to hybrid Azure deployments, supporting growth without re-architecting.
Connectivity
EPF’s OMI Transfer Service moves data bidirectionally between mine planning software and ERP systems via configurable workflows. It supports messaging through Apache ActiveMQ or Azure Service Bus, and its Process Manager can orchestrate long-running processes outside the main server, keeping technical and corporate systems in sync.
Data Context
EPF doesn’t just store data—it tags and tracks datasets with metadata and audit trails. Using Integration Management Studio (IMS), teams can monitor data lineage, see what changed, when, and why, and set up automated data maintenance rules to archive or purge old datasets, keeping the operational view clean and relevant.
ERP Integration
EPF includes pre-built adapters for SAP PI and Ellipse EIP, and can integrate with any ERP via its flexible Database Integration Service. It ensures that mine plans, production actuals, and financial data are continuously aligned, with Azure AD authentication enabling secure, role-based access across both operational and corporate systems.
