Overall Satisfaction with IBM Planning Analytics
IBM Planning Analytics is a robust and flexible application used for planning, budgeting, forecasting and reporting in our Fortune 500 organization.
We are long time users of the product, implementing in 2007. We implemented in order to bring standardization and efficiencies to our one year planning process - inital rollout to 10+ users. That initial implementation was a great success.
Since that time we have have greatly expanded to approximately 300 users in the Finance organization - expanding our use case to expense and capital budgeting and projections, labor planning, revenue budgeting and forecasting, and executive and management reporting.
