Overall Satisfaction with Anaplan

I have implemented Anaplan solution in Demand Planning, Workforce Planning, Sales Planning, and FP&A Planning. Anaplan is solving complex business problems. It gives the capability to perform scenario planning/sensitivity analysis with the critical business drivers that could have a significant impact on the business in uncertain times. It gives management powerful insights for making the right decisions at the right time. This is one platform that orchestrates all the functions in the organization.
