Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I work for a consulting firm that is an Anaplan partner. I have implemented Anaplan to companies for use cases ranging from Supply Chain to finance to even education. Most of my experience has been in the finance space setting up FP&A systems and predictive models.

Pros and Cons

Flexibility of updates
Business able to maintain
Simple to integrate

Charts
License understanding for clients

Return on Investment

Clients have seen clearer business set ups.

Alternatives Considered

I have used SAP BPC and SAC. With relation to BPC, it is more user friendly and easier to maintain. For SAC, it similar but varies when it comes to utilizing the data and setting up for charts

Other Software Used

SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation), SAP Service Cloud, Tableau Desktop

Likelihood to Recommend

Most well suited for companies who struggle with utilizing their IT and need to be updated by the business. Struggles when system needs to utilize real-time dates and isocalendars from other systems like SAP.
