The nature of planning has changed, from an annual or quarterly process to an ongoing effort by managers to optimize their business. Managers across marketing, sales, operations, human resources (HR), information technology (IT), and supply chain need rapid access to actual data so they can plan and pivot faster and more often, and finance needs to understand the immediate impact of those pivots on the bottom line.
The Anaplan Connected Planning platform enables planners and managers to pull together data from disparate operational systems and applications and understand it in real-time, breaking down disconnected budgeting and planning processes and enabling rapid data-driven change.
Nucleus found that Anaplan customers adopting a connected planning strategy were able to drive faster decision making, increasing manager productivity while accelerating planning and reporting, reducing costs, and increasing flexibility.
