Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

In my organization, Anaplan is used for project management, Workforce Management, Resource Planning, Compensation Management, etc. However, [...] being a consultant, we have implemented Anaplan for various clients working on domains like FP&A, S&OP, Supply Chain, etc. These clients had manual processes across their organizations, we helped them in automating and streamlining these processes and in fact provided solutions to various issues they were facing earlier. Anaplan being a blank slate, any organization can adopt it pretty easily as implementation is easy and it can be customized as per the business needs. Also, the integration of Anaplan with various ERP systems is seamless. Anaplan is the only tool we have seen so far working on almost all the domains flawlessly for Planning and Analysis.
