Trust your decisions

IBP gives organisations the power to fully join the dots

Integrated Business Planning, sometimes called Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) is a relatively new discipline.

Fundamentally, it’s a whole new way of harnessing data for faster, better planning.

By synchronising this insight across departments, organisations can easily simulate different scenarios, forecast with greater accuracy, significantly reduce risk, and make much more robust decisions.

IBP can really move the needle for complex businesses eager to remain competitive with their workforce, products, services offerings, supply chains, sustainability – you name it.

And while IBP has its roots in Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A), this goes way beyond Finance. It touches the entire organisation. Those that embrace IBP and operationalise it are at a strategic advantage over those who don’t.

Now’s a good time for IBP

The good news is: it’s a great moment to adopt IBP.

The market hasn’t reached maturity yet – meaning many of your competitors are still planning manually – but the technology has come far.

Why Anaplan

And the services to support it – consultancy, best practice, implementation, training, technology – exist too (you’re looking at them right now). For new adopters that means that they can still reap big business benefits, but at significantly lower risk.
