Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

I use Anaplan to produce a 5 year forecast of P&L, balance sheet and capital. The software is very stable with big data, unlike Excel, so I am able to load our balance sheet by security and forecast at the individual security level. I can also use optionality over applicable assumption inputs to produce multiple scenarios within the same model. I also use this functionality to run internal and regulatory stress tests using the BAU model.

Pros

  • Stable with big data
  • Enables collaboration - multiple users at once
  • Scalable model as your business devolves

Cons

  • Ability to add comments for other users
  • Search function in the archived model list
  • Stability with big data
  • Optionality - ability to use one model for BAU and stress testing
  • Connect planning - Business Unit model data easily flows to the Group model for consolidation
  • Scalable
  • Improved job satisfaction
  • Reliability - work not lost by software crashing
