Anaplan: From the Perspective of a Certified Master Anaplanner
What do you like best about the product?
Anaplan's flexibility allows for custom modeling solutions. Finance teams can plan in models tailed specifically to their needs. Source ERP to Anaplan integration can be automated using Anaplan Connect or other third party integration platforms. Numerous users can plan in a model simultaneously.
What do you dislike about the product?
Anaplan's flexibility is both a blessing and a curse. Models need to be developed and maintained by model building experts that fully understand the business requirements. Models built without sufficient skill on the part of the model builders, or without sufficient input and oversight from the business, can result in implementation failure.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Anaplan has streamlined business planning consolidation and workbook version control. The headaches associated with combining / error handling dozens of excel based budget models have been alleviated. Models are refreshed daily via SAP BW integration with Actuals results, and finance teams can determine when to export plan data back to SAP BW.

A versatile tool that can be customized to your business needs to drive greater decision making.

Anaplan gives the business the ability to tailor a custom solution that fit their specific needs. Not only that, but users are constrained to use the same approach year after year like with a custom built tool. It allows finance teams to spend less time crunching numbers and more time making actionable decisions. The cloud-based tool also greatly enhances visibility throughout the business, and allows for greater collaboration.

These not only just save time for our analysts, but provides greater visibility into the data.
