Our take
Anaplan is an AI-driven planning platform designed to do more than just plug gaps (it truly replaces the tangled web of legacy tools for the likes of SAP, Oracle, and IBM). Designed as the only "AI-driven scenario planning and analysis platform", it brings together data, modeling, insights, and action across a range of industries. And instead of managing isolated spreadsheets and disconnected tools, it allows business users to break down silo and collaborate fully.
Its setting itself apart with its expansive, adaptable reach too. From out-of-the-box applications tailored for finance, supply chain, HR, and more, to enterprise-grade capabilities like predictive and generativer AI, data integration, and real-time modeling, it offers organizations the tools they need to outpredict, outplan, and outperform.
Anaplan is on a roll too, with annual recurring revenue topping $1B, over 2,400 customers, and fast-growing business lines in finance, sales & marketing, and supply chain, the company is showing what a modern planning platform can really do. And its $500M innovation roadmap (packed with AI-powered tools, scenario planning, and new enterprise applications) means Anaplan is ready to shape the future of decision-making.
