Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan
We as an implementation partner have chosen Anaplan as a core technology to use for solving business process problems in a variety of areas: finance, HR, and supply chain. The main problems we typically address is performance, level of detail and scalability of existing legacy platforms or processes maintained in Excel. Due to Anaplans infrastructure, it is a great tool to use for addressing the issues of multiple departments and bringing the plans together in a single platform. That's usually where we see the biggest ROI of the tool, when there is buy-in from multiple departments, this breaks down communication barriers and adds new levels of transparency and speed at which decisions can be made.
