Streamline and integrate financial and operational planning across the enterprise
IBM® Planning Analytics is a modern, AI-powered, extended planning and analysis (xP&A) solution that integrates, streamlines and scales planning across every part of the organization, including finance, sales, supply chain, HR, IT, and marketing.
Break down business unit planning siloes and foster high participation planning so you can strategize and build plans with a complete view of the organization in mind.
Create plans, budgets and forecasts quickly, drawing input from the front lines and scaling to hundreds or even thousands of users. Align top-down targets with bottom-up plans, and link plans together for a cohesive view.
Develop scorecards and dashboards linked to plans and budgets, then share them across the enterprise for fast, intuitive insight into organizational performance.
Create and maintain sophisticated models with advanced sandboxing capabilities. Easily test business assumptions and model scenarios to immediately see the impact of alternative courses of action before deciding to implement changes.
Free yourself from the limits of traditional cube-based analysis with hierarchies. Perform in-depth, granular analysis using “attributes” to describe the characteristics of products, customers, regions and more.
IBM Planning Analytics can unify data from a variety of sources, including TM1, Oracle Hyperion and SAP Business Warehouse (BW). It reduces the need for custom integrations that introduce compliance risks and burden scarce technical resources.
Large data volumes are supported with the solution’s ability to manage data sparsity (that is, zero-value cells). This is especially crucial for organizations like retailers, who can easily store hundreds of thousands of SKUs.
Experience a range of performance reporting, monitoring and measurement capabilities. With a single, consistent view of KPIs, you can evaluate plans, identify performance gaps and diagnose the root causes of problems.
Automatically create compelling visualizations to share insights with decision makers. Choose from more than 25 different charts, tables, maps, graphs and images – plus text and video.
Synthesize information, infer trends, drill into transactional data and slice and dice data for deep granular analysis. Built on the powerful TM1 calculation engine, IBM Planning Analytics enables in-depth analysis of large data sets.
With IBM Planning Analytics for Microsoft Excel, you can avoid the errors and version control problems of manual, spreadsheet-only processes, but keep the familiar Excel interface. You retain full Excel functionality and formatting.
The in-memory database capabilities refresh data in real time to ensure that results are as accurate and current as possible. Leverage internal and external data, including data from ERP and CRM systems.
Streamlined workflow management provides process visibility, enabling managers to track the status of every participant using intuitive, color-coded icons that inform reviewers about workflow status.
