Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan
Scope of the use case: Implement a solution to forecast revenue that is having an impact on Expenses, Balance sheet, Capital, Risk, and funding forecasts based on very low-level drivers. It should support sensitivity analysis and Attribution Analysis to analyse the forecast accuracy. Pros: Currently the firm uses very high-level forecasting where the forecast data is not being coded and justified with any tool. If there is any change in the market, the impact is also assumed based on the experience but not based on logical data points. After implementing the solution in Anaplan with clearly codifying the forecast data based on very detailed nodes, we can create multiple scenarios on the fly based on the market change or based on different drivers and we can accurately analyse the firm behaviour for the change. This solution provides a lot of transparency in the forecasting for all businesses and eliminates unforeseen impacts on the business revenue.
