IBM Planning Analytics
Self-service planning and analytics on cloud for
greater speed, agility and foresight
Overview
Volatility, uncertainty and risk have been increasing for years—and
they’re not going away any time soon. In response, leading CFOs
and finance organizations are seeking analytics solutions to help them
drive greater efficiency, deliver stronger foresight and steer business
performance more effectively.
But most Finance teams still spend an inordinate amount of time in
manual, spreadsheet-based processes – collecting, consolidating and
validating data. Because of that, these finance professionals are often
unable to deliver plans, budgets, forecasts, reports and value-added
analysis in a timely fashion. So, they are seeking more flexible, agile
solutions that can provide fast, reliable results with deeper insight and
greater foresight.
Finance teams often believe they have to compromise between the
ease of use and fast deployment of a cloud solution and the flexible,
powerful analytics capabilities traditionally reserved to on-premises
solutions. But no more. Now they don’t have to compromise. Now
they can have it all with IBM®
Planning Analytics.
Speed, agility and foresight in a cloud-based
performance management solution
IBM Planning Analytics is a fast, easy, flexible and complete planning
and analytics cloud solution. It helps Finance organizations drive
greater process efficiency and deliver the foresight they need to
steer business performance. This solution not only automates manual
tasks, but takes you beyond automation by providing self-service
analytics that can help you uncover new insights directly from your
data. It speeds decision making and improves decision quality.

IBM Planning Analytics gives you:
•	 Speed—You can start instantly and grow your deployment
quickly wherever needed. Automate plans, analyses and
reports to drive efficiency.
•	 Agility—Adapt plans and analyses to changing business
conditions. Align financial plans with corporate objectives,
linked to operational tactics and market events.
•	 Foresight—Make analytics available to everyone—so
they can explore and visualize both internal and external
data, and anticipate the future.
With a dynamic planning and analytics workspace that lets
you link financial plans with operational tactics, IBM Planning
Analytics helps you synthesize information, infer trends
and deliver insights to improve decision quality. It allows
individuals, groups and enterprise leaders to break free of the
constraints of previous generations of planning and analytic
tools and become more agile and prepared for the inevitable
volatility, uncertainty and risk that the future will bring.
Interactive planning and analytics workspace
IBM Planning Analytics offers a customizable workspace
that can be deployed to all cost center owners and business
managers. It provides a single, consistent view into KPIs and
enables users to evaluate plans, identify gaps and diagnose
root causes. Users can test business assumptions and scenarios
and immediately see the financial impact of alternative courses
of action.
Intelligent queries allow quick analysis and report creation based
on common business terms. And powerful multi-dimensional
expression-based (MDX) queries allow data analysis for any
combination of hierarchies and dimensions. Power users can
quickly build sophisticated queries to deliver stronger insight,
such as through asymmetrical nested reports. But users don’t
need to be experts in order to deploy multi-dimensional analyses
and reports to all the right people faster than ever before.
Figure 1: IBM Planning Analytics provides an interactive, customizable workspace.

Multi-dimensional analysis
Built on the powerful IBM Cognos®
TM1 online analytical
processing (OLAP) engine, IBM Planning Analytics enables
multi-dimensional analysis of large, historical and future-
oriented data sets. It integrates multiple data sources and
enables comparative analysis of information from all relevant
systems. Users can perform complex dimensional calculations
and analysis of, for example, product and customer profitability,
sales mix, and price/volume variance.
IBM Planning Analytics simplifies the maintenance and
administration of planning models and scenario-based
hierarchies. In addition, its distributed administration enables
all geographies and departments to participate in a well-
managed process. The result is a more reliable, forward-
looking view of business structures such as product families
and sales territories. It also helps define targets for planning
and forecasting as well as for profit and growth initiatives.
Advanced self-service modeling
Self-service modeling capabilities in IBM Planning Analytics
enable everyday financial and business analysts to create
and maintain sophisticated plans and forecasts with little
to no IT support. Owned by Finance and built on mature,
multi-dimensional technology, IBM Planning Analytics
enables dimensional analysis and calculations for even
the most demanding profitability and scenario models.
Analysts can build models integrating virtually any business
driver into plans, budgets and forecasts. Models can reflect
company structures, business rules and relationships, and
then be revised as structures, rules and relationships change.
Users can define and link operational drivers with financial
outcomes throughout the organization’s entire planning
process. This improves visibility into leading indicators
of performance and shows the likely impact of different
operational drivers on plans and forecasts, increasing the
lead time needed to assess alternatives.
IBM Planning Analytics also helps you reduce the errors
common to manual, spreadsheet-based processes and reduce
planning cycles. The result is that financial and business
analysts can spend more time on value-added analysis, and
less time maintaining spreadsheets.
Data discovery and predictive power of
IBM Watson Analytics
Leveraging the ground-breaking technology of IBM Watson™
Analytics, IBM Planning Analytics helps you discover new
insights automatically, directly from your data.
Guided data exploration and natural language queries based
on common business terms enable you to work with your
data easily and perform fast, thorough analysis. Automated
visualizations with clear and compelling graphics then help
you share the results with decision makers. The statistical
analysis and predictive capabilities of Watson Analytics help
you see what’s likely to happen next and what you can do
about it.
Figure 2: With guided data exploration, predictive analytics and automated
visualizations, IBM Watson Analytics helps you formulate and evaluate plans.

Scorecards and dashboards
IBM Planning Analytics supports a full range of reporting
capabilities including scorecarding and dashboarding. You can
develop and deploy role-based dashboards and scorecards linked
to plans and budgets and share them across the enterprise.
Scorecards and dashboards help business users measure and
monitor performance in the context of their specific roles
and functions, which in turn helps drive strategy management
and execution by aligning initiatives, resources and actions
with corporate objectives.
Figure 3: Scorecards and dashboards offer fast, intuitive insight into progress toward organizational objectives.

Access to familiar Microsoft Excel interface
Spreadsheets are among the most popular software tools
available, despite their limitations. That’s why IBM Planning
Analytics enables users to embrace, rather than replace their
Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.
IBM Planning Analytics retains full Excel functionality and
formatting, including Excel capabilities such as graphing and
built-in functions. Finance professionals can continue working
in the Excel interface where needed while enjoying all the
capabilities of a modern planning and analytics solution. Users
can explore and analyze data sourced from multidimensional
planning and analytics models within the familiar spreadsheet
format, while the organization can extend analysis capabilities
to more users to support faster, better informed decisions.
Figure 4: IBM Planning Analytics allows users to retain the familiar Excel interface.

Business accelerators—IBM Performance Blueprints
IBM Planning Analytics enables organizations to accelerate
their implementations and drive faster return on investment
(ROI) by leveraging the extensive solution catalog of IBM
Performance Blueprints.
IBM Performance Blueprints are pre-configured data, process
and policy models that encapsulate the collective best-practice
knowledge in planning and performance management of IBM
experts and leading IBM customers. Blueprint models address a
number of essential functional areas as well as the unique needs
of specific industries. Blueprints help organizations jump-start
their implementations and streamline project schedules.
Figure 5: IBM Performance Blueprints accelerate time to results by encapsulating best-practice planning in a variety of functional and
industry-specific processes.

IBM Planning Analytics

  • 1. Data Sheet IBM Analytics Planning Analytics Highlights • Automates manual, spreadsheet-based planning, budgeting, forecasting, reporting and analysis • Uncovers predictive insights automatically from your data • Links operational tactics to financial plans, synthesizes information, infers trends and delivers insights • Enables dimensional analysis and calculations for in-depth profitability and scenario analytics • RetainsthefamiliarMicrosoftExcelinterface whereneededtoaccelerateadoption • Facilitates rapid on-cloud deployment across the organization IBM Planning Analytics Self-service planning and analytics on cloud for greater speed, agility and foresight Overview Volatility, uncertainty and risk have been increasing for years—and they’re not going away any time soon. In response, leading CFOs and finance organizations are seeking analytics solutions to help them drive greater efficiency, deliver stronger foresight and steer business performance more effectively. But most Finance teams still spend an inordinate amount of time in manual, spreadsheet-based processes – collecting, consolidating and validating data. Because of that, these finance professionals are often unable to deliver plans, budgets, forecasts, reports and value-added analysis in a timely fashion. So, they are seeking more flexible, agile solutions that can provide fast, reliable results with deeper insight and greater foresight. Finance teams often believe they have to compromise between the ease of use and fast deployment of a cloud solution and the flexible, powerful analytics capabilities traditionally reserved to on-premises solutions. But no more. Now they don’t have to compromise. Now they can have it all with IBM® Planning Analytics. Speed, agility and foresight in a cloud-based performance management solution IBM Planning Analytics is a fast, easy, flexible and complete planning and analytics cloud solution. It helps Finance organizations drive greater process efficiency and deliver the foresight they need to steer business performance. This solution not only automates manual tasks, but takes you beyond automation by providing self-service analytics that can help you uncover new insights directly from your data. It speeds decision making and improves decision quality.
  • 2. Data Sheet IBM Analytics Planning Analytics IBM Planning Analytics gives you: • Speed—You can start instantly and grow your deployment quickly wherever needed. Automate plans, analyses and reports to drive efficiency. • Agility—Adapt plans and analyses to changing business conditions. Align financial plans with corporate objectives, linked to operational tactics and market events. • Foresight—Make analytics available to everyone—so they can explore and visualize both internal and external data, and anticipate the future. With a dynamic planning and analytics workspace that lets you link financial plans with operational tactics, IBM Planning Analytics helps you synthesize information, infer trends and deliver insights to improve decision quality. It allows individuals, groups and enterprise leaders to break free of the constraints of previous generations of planning and analytic tools and become more agile and prepared for the inevitable volatility, uncertainty and risk that the future will bring. Interactive planning and analytics workspace IBM Planning Analytics offers a customizable workspace that can be deployed to all cost center owners and business managers. It provides a single, consistent view into KPIs and enables users to evaluate plans, identify gaps and diagnose root causes. Users can test business assumptions and scenarios and immediately see the financial impact of alternative courses of action. Intelligent queries allow quick analysis and report creation based on common business terms. And powerful multi-dimensional expression-based (MDX) queries allow data analysis for any combination of hierarchies and dimensions. Power users can quickly build sophisticated queries to deliver stronger insight, such as through asymmetrical nested reports. But users don’t need to be experts in order to deploy multi-dimensional analyses and reports to all the right people faster than ever before. Figure 1: IBM Planning Analytics provides an interactive, customizable workspace. 2
  • 3. Data Sheet IBM Analytics Planning Analytics Multi-dimensional analysis Built on the powerful IBM Cognos® TM1 online analytical processing (OLAP) engine, IBM Planning Analytics enables multi-dimensional analysis of large, historical and future- oriented data sets. It integrates multiple data sources and enables comparative analysis of information from all relevant systems. Users can perform complex dimensional calculations and analysis of, for example, product and customer profitability, sales mix, and price/volume variance. IBM Planning Analytics simplifies the maintenance and administration of planning models and scenario-based hierarchies. In addition, its distributed administration enables all geographies and departments to participate in a well- managed process. The result is a more reliable, forward- looking view of business structures such as product families and sales territories. It also helps define targets for planning and forecasting as well as for profit and growth initiatives. Advanced self-service modeling Self-service modeling capabilities in IBM Planning Analytics enable everyday financial and business analysts to create and maintain sophisticated plans and forecasts with little to no IT support. Owned by Finance and built on mature, multi-dimensional technology, IBM Planning Analytics enables dimensional analysis and calculations for even the most demanding profitability and scenario models. Analysts can build models integrating virtually any business driver into plans, budgets and forecasts. Models can reflect company structures, business rules and relationships, and then be revised as structures, rules and relationships change. Users can define and link operational drivers with financial outcomes throughout the organization’s entire planning process. This improves visibility into leading indicators of performance and shows the likely impact of different operational drivers on plans and forecasts, increasing the lead time needed to assess alternatives. IBM Planning Analytics also helps you reduce the errors common to manual, spreadsheet-based processes and reduce planning cycles. The result is that financial and business analysts can spend more time on value-added analysis, and less time maintaining spreadsheets. Data discovery and predictive power of IBM Watson Analytics Leveraging the ground-breaking technology of IBM Watson™ Analytics, IBM Planning Analytics helps you discover new insights automatically, directly from your data. Guided data exploration and natural language queries based on common business terms enable you to work with your data easily and perform fast, thorough analysis. Automated visualizations with clear and compelling graphics then help you share the results with decision makers. The statistical analysis and predictive capabilities of Watson Analytics help you see what’s likely to happen next and what you can do about it. Figure 2: With guided data exploration, predictive analytics and automated visualizations, IBM Watson Analytics helps you formulate and evaluate plans. 3
  • 4. Data Sheet IBM Analytics Planning Analytics Scorecards and dashboards IBM Planning Analytics supports a full range of reporting capabilities including scorecarding and dashboarding. You can develop and deploy role-based dashboards and scorecards linked to plans and budgets and share them across the enterprise. Scorecards and dashboards help business users measure and monitor performance in the context of their specific roles and functions, which in turn helps drive strategy management and execution by aligning initiatives, resources and actions with corporate objectives. Figure 3: Scorecards and dashboards offer fast, intuitive insight into progress toward organizational objectives. 4
  • 5. Data Sheet IBM Analytics Planning Analytics Access to familiar Microsoft Excel interface Spreadsheets are among the most popular software tools available, despite their limitations. That’s why IBM Planning Analytics enables users to embrace, rather than replace their Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. IBM Planning Analytics retains full Excel functionality and formatting, including Excel capabilities such as graphing and built-in functions. Finance professionals can continue working in the Excel interface where needed while enjoying all the capabilities of a modern planning and analytics solution. Users can explore and analyze data sourced from multidimensional planning and analytics models within the familiar spreadsheet format, while the organization can extend analysis capabilities to more users to support faster, better informed decisions. Figure 4: IBM Planning Analytics allows users to retain the familiar Excel interface. 5
