Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

We both implement Anaplan for customers and leverage it for our internal financial projections. At customers, we've deployed the platform for a large set of business use cases including workforce modeling, capital/project planning, profitability planning, financial consolidation and reporting, and a number of other industry-specific planning processes. Internally, we leverage Anaplan to manage our professional services business. The platform allows us to model out upcoming client pipelines, track our project budgeting, and manage upcoming profitability targets.
