Why Anaplan and the benefits my organization gained by using it

Rating: 10 out of 10
December 09, 2024
We are using Anaplan since last 9 years, and currently 30+business use case model are in use. Before Anaplan, we had to consolidate 100+ spreadsheet from asset managers from various location to produce one top level report by Fund and Group, more time was spent on data collection, error checking, and reporting. After Anaplan, zero time spent for reporting as Anaplan is powerful enough to produce real time consolidated reports, one platform to manage 100+ properties.
Key use cases are below,
a. Real Estate Cashflow modeling - using Anaplan to underwrite new properties to see the ROI and budget/forecast the revenue/expenses for the existing 100+ properties across European
b. Expenses Management - using Anaplan to budget/forecast the people and non people costs(salary of the FTE\contractors and expenses such as Capex\Opex) for the 3 countries (UK, Ireland, and Canada)
c. Profit and Loss Statement- using Anaplan to set up the target for the Canada Market and forecast the P&L for the next 2 years based on the historical performance of the products.

We implement solutions with the Anaplan tool for enterprise customers on a wide range of use cases that their line of work requires. The most common problems we aim to resolve are outdated processes using robust tools that are very time-consuming for the end user, as well as creating a stable connected planning experience for every branch of the organization. Our scope are multiple CBP implementations that are currently live, and have been helping our users make better decisions faster and easier. To update our portfolio, we've been working on several FP&A process models and their respective integrations with our customers' extensive environment.

Anaplan is a flexible tool that can be built for most business processes

Anaplan is used across our organisation. The use cases that I am familiar with are related for Finance, i.e. Budgeting & Forecasting, Workforce Planning, & Revenue Planning. All of our BUs are onboarded to Anaplan for the creation of our Annual Operating Plan while only a fraction use it for Forecasting. This number is expected to grow as we continue to build out features for our Forecast model. Currently, we are implementing models for Workforce Planning and expect to build out our Revenue model in mid to late 2024. The Workforce Planning model is expected to be used by all BUs for Budgeting & Forecasting cycles while the Revenue model will be piloted for one BU.

A very flexible and powerful planning tool that can be used for almost any use case

Anaplan is used as a solution to a myriad of pain points that exist within a firm's corporate planning cycles. The tool is extremely flexible and allows organizations to obtain forecasts and outlooks for almost anything in a much more timely, accurate, and detailed manner than old processes such as handing off excel spreadsheets around and organization to be updated. Anaplan is also much less error-prone since the manual manipulation of data is drastically reduced when implemented properly. Multiple-use cases have been addressed during my time from Biopharma, Technology, Manufacturing, Demand Planning, Workforce Planning, Revenue planning, all across the use case spectrum. These cases have been addressed effectively as well leading to major reductions in the effort it takes for an Anaplan customer to come up with a forecast.

Anaplan provides a great deal of flexibility when business rules. With its strong calculation engine, I'm able to run multiple scenarios in a matter of seconds. This helps my clients do What-if analysis and compare scenarios during their budgeting and forecasting processes.
