Anaplan

Anaplan is an AI-infused, cloud-based connected planning platform designed to help enterprises optimize complex decision-making through real-time scenario planning and analysis. The platform breaks down organizational silos by unifying financial, operational, and strategic planning into a single environment, enabling teams to model scenarios, run multidimensional forecasts, and generate insights across functions such as FP&A, supply chain, sales performance, workforce management, compensation management, and budgeting and forecasting. Core capabilities include a powerful calculation engine (Polaris) that handles large, sparse datasets with speed and flexibility, built-in data orchestration to reduce reliance on third-party integration tools, AI-driven forecasting through PlanIQ, automated workflows for approvals and cross-team handoffs, and intuitive role-based dashboards that empower business users to plan and analyze without heavy IT involvement. Anaplan integrates with a broad ecosystem of tools including Salesforce, Databricks, AWS, and Azure, making it well-suited for large and mid-market enterprises that need to connect data across multiple systems and departments. It is particularly valuable for finance, sales operations, supply chain, and HR teams at global organizations—trusted by more than 2,400 companies including LinkedIn, AB InBev, Autodesk, and Bayer Crop Science—who need to move away from fragmented spreadsheets and static reporting toward a single source of truth that supports faster, more confident decisions.
