Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan
Currently, we have two models in Anaplan: (1) group financial reporting, and (2) subscription modeling. The group model has enabled the consolidation of budget and forecasts for each of the business units, including functionality such as payroll FTE/headcount reporting, cost allocations, and FX scenario modeling. The subscription model allows the forecast of volumes and consequently subscriptions revenue and costs by using high-level assumptions, for example, renewal rates based on the subscription type.
