- Model to Model submissions
- Assumption based forecasting

- Excel Add-in does the job but could be improved

- Data Hub - One source of the truth

- One source of the truth
- Standardised hierarchies / CoA across the business
Hierarchy changes are must easier and effective in Anaplan, if you were to add a new product across 15 different markets you'd have to go through each tab of excel and manually insert the new product and ensure all formulas are copied down and are following the logic of other products. Whereas in Anaplan you add it once and it flows through the whole model
