Orchestrate Performance with Anaplan
We have a proven track record of success in helping enterprise clients facilitate user collaboration and data sharing across business functions through the Connected Planning platform.
Our Philosophy:
Start your journey with empathy.
Transformation is not a one-off project but an evolving journey. We begin with putting ourselves in your shoes and understanding your circumstance as one team for your long-term success.
We are no fan of BIG BANG implementation. By adopting an iterative approach, we not only realize project benefits quicker with less investment but also evolve our thoughts to drive better outcomes from lessons learned.
Being flexible and nimble has always been our key differentiator. We always embrace new requirements along your transformation journey as you shall play different strategies in response to market changes over time.
We never limit your planning process with so-called “best practices” but define the “best-fit” solutions with you. Our project deliverables shall address your challenges sustainably at all times.
Our Approach:
From siloed data to connected planning
SMALL STEPS, BIG WINS.
- Prioritize business needs and deliver a quick win on the first use case within 8 to 12 weeks.
- Introduce the benefits of connected planning by facilitating user collaboration and data sharing between two or more departments.
- Explore organization-wide planning use cases with strategic, tactical, and operational alignment.
TEACH A MAN TO FISH.
- 3-6 months: We prime the project for the first couple of use cases with model design workshops arranged for in-house model builders.
- 6-12 months: We take care of solution design and quality assurance while clients lead the build phase with earlier experiences.
- a year later: Clients can design and build Anaplan models on their own.
TRANSFORM WITH A CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE.
- Define a strategy to maximize the benefits of connected planning.
- Reduce total cost of ownership by enabling in-house resources for model design and building.
- Implement the best practices and design principles for ongoing sustainability.
