Fueled by globalization and
technology, the business
world is moving faster than
ever. That means your rate
of change and innovation
has to increase—to keep
pace with new competitors,
new buying trends, new

But every business change poses critical decisions:
Where do you go? What resources do you need to get
there? How do you balance new initiatives and existing
investments? What is the master plan for your company?
Are your financial, workforce, sales and demand plans in
sync? Can you move fast enough to meet or exceed the
rate of change in your marketplace?
These are questions business people are dealing with in
every industry. Until now, the only way to find answers has
been the slow, painful process of gathering data from single-
purpose planning systems combined with a proliferation of
spreadsheets for bridging gaps and making ad hoc queries.
Unfortunately, these tools simply aren’t geared to take in
large volumes of constantly changing street data and adjust
working formulas to reflect market dynamics in real time.
Enter Anaplan. From evaluating acquisitions to changing
pipelines to evolving teams, Anaplan lets you model
potential outcomes and course correct on the fly. With just
a few clicks and no IT intervention, you can see changes
instantly ripple through your connected plans to reveal the
impact across your business.
No more time outs for planning. With Anaplan, you are
always adapting to change, always optimizing your
resources, always maximizing your yield. When you can
truly say, “the planning never stops,” you are not just good
—you’re unstoppable.
Anaplan has reinvented planning for the modern
enterprise so that you can plan for a world…
that never stops.

SalesCustomers like HP,
Kimberly-Clark, and
McAfee saw the value in
Anaplan’s ability to model
large numbers of products,
people, programs, places,
and projects to deliver
optimized sales and financial
plans that drive business
growth. Today more than
230 customers worldwide
rely on Anaplan to help
them be unstoppable. Here
are just a few examples.
With a sales team encompassing 30,000 sales
representatives selling over 150 product lines to
customers in 178 countries, HP came to Anaplan to
improve the effectiveness of their territory and quota
planning process.
HP’s disconnected, Excel-based planning process
made it impossible to effectively collaborate across its
4,000 sales managers and more than 380 sales plans.
The company had limited visibility into its worldwide quota
deployment, and the territory and quota planning process
took 10 months. With Anaplan, HP now has a single, living
plan with role-based visibility and controls, including global
collaboration and advanced sales history analytics to
provide data-driven account and territory opportunity
assessment. Now sales managers can provide consolidated,
consistent bottom-up input to plans and monitor deployed
plans with real-time KPIs.
The results? Sales letters go out in days instead of
weeks. Reps get visibility into deployed quota and sales
performance on day one. And time spent aggregating
sales data has been reduced from a month to three days.

Aviva plc is a British multinational insurance company head-
quartered in London. It provides insurance, pensions, savings,
and investment products to 30 million customers around the
globe. Aligning and optimizing financial plans and forecasts
in an increasingly fast-moving environment is a complex
process that requires a high degree of accuracy and agility.
Aviva’s financial reporting tools lacked the agility necessary
in planning and forecasting to build scenarios quickly and
deal with multiple versions. So Aviva turned to Anaplan.
Aviva needed to increase planning agility without
compromising financial control. They wanted to focus efforts
on valued-added analysis, not the rather ugly process of
consolidating group plans using multiple Excel spreadsheets.
With Anaplan, Aviva gained a single data source for
financial planning across all of its businesses. The cloud-
based platform enabled rapid roll-out across all groups.
Now planners can build scenarios quickly, manage multiple
versions, and create customized reporting hierarchies.
Aviva completed the Anaplan implementation in two
months and rapidly scaled up to 180 users enterprise-
wide. Time to consolidate plan numbers was reduced from
one week to one day. The cloud-based process connects
business units in real time, enabling a faster, more efficient,
more accurate, more collaborative planning process.
Bosal is a tier-one supplier in the automotive market
with branches in South America, North America, China,
Europe, and South Africa. Bosal’s strategic initiative to
manage their aftermarket business more globally was
hampered by the fact that each country operated its own
local ERP system, making it difficult to get a global overview
of supply and demand. Bosal selected Anaplan to provide a
global solution linking sales teams and manufacturing plants
to one set of data. Anaplan has vastly improved Bosal’s
ability to fine-tune factory load and capacity requirements
in response to changes in demand.
Because Bosal relied on local systems with different
ERPs, there was no way to attain a global view. Sales and
manufacturing groups made disconnected forecasts, and
it was impossible to execute a professional S&OP process.
Today Anaplan provides Bosal with a single data source
for S&OP and demand planning worldwide. After a rapid
implementation and rollout to Europe and beyond, the
company now has a fully functioning S&OP process. Sales
teams are clearly responsible for updating their forecasts,
and operations can plan manufacturing capacity based
on the business forecast.
“ Through using Anaplan we have a more
agile and efficient planning process.”

Activision is the world’s largest video game publisher
with $4.5 billion in annual revenue and 7,000 employees
worldwide. As a global retail organization, one of the most
critical functions at Activision is cross-departmental trade
management. The process, which links field sales, retail
marketing, finance, and accounting, was fraught with
inaccuracies and delays due to limited planning tools
and reliance on spreadsheets.
To address the problems, Activision selected Anaplan.
Just two weeks after the company went live with its trade
management application, productivity increased by an
estimated 50 percent.
Anaplan provides Activision with a more stable, consistent,
transparent workflow across the organization. In addition to
immediate productivity gains, the company now has 100
percent confidence in its data when making decisions on
retail spend.
“What we loved about Anaplan was that we
could so easily customize it to meet the
specific needs of each department. Each of
the four groups involved in Activision’s trade
management process—Sales, Marketing,
Finance and Accounting—engage with the
data differently, and Anaplan made it very
easy to tailor to their individual perspectives.”
