Why Allitix is Your Ideal Anaplan Partner
Anaplan is the software solution of choice for advanced planning functions, including multiple scenario modeling and in-depth predictive analytics. If your organization needs a new planning solution, Anaplan is likely on your radar.
But how should you implement Anaplan? Every organization has its own unique planning needs and requirements, and you can tailor Anaplan to meet yours. To successfully complete this customization process, having the support of a trustworthy company is crucial, and that's where Allitix comes into play.
How do you know Allitix has achieved this status? You can ask Anaplan itself — Allitix is a part of Anaplan’s PartnerAccelerate program, earning eight badges that represent different industries and use-case specializations.
How Does Anaplan Assess Its Partners?
The PartnerAccelerate program, the successor to the Gold Partner system, highlights implementation partners that are particularly skilled at deploying Anaplan for specific types of use cases and in specific industry sectors.
PartnerAccelerate badges "enable Partners to differentiate their unique combinations of expertise to potential customers and Anaplan sellers and earn benefits that include enablement, discounted and free training, and access to marketing co-funding."
Securing accreditation for the badges is a rigorous process, so buyers can trust that the seals of approval mean something. A third-party audit is necessary to receive a badge, along with assessments of sales, pre-sales and delivery performance. At Allitix, we are proud of receiving accreditation badges across all eight different areas.
There are two categories of badges available through Anaplan — industry and functional. When a partner obtains certification in an industry, it demonstrates their expertise in collaborating with companies within that specific industry. On the other hand, a functional badge highlights proficiency in a particular skill or subject matter, applicable across various types of businesses.
Our PartnerAccelerate certifications encompass:
Industry
Financial and Business Services.
Consumer.
Technology, Media and Telecom.
Manufacturing.
Functions
Finance.
Sales and Marketing.
Supply Chain.
HR and Workforce.
Solution Advisory and Delivery
Among these eight specializations, Allitix is highly likely to possess the expertise required to support your company in maximizing the benefits of Anaplan. The array of badges we have earned underscores our exceptional adaptability and in-depth knowledge, solidifying our position as an industry leader.
What Do Allitix's 8 Badges Mean?
Each of the eight accolades awarded to Allitix by Anaplan highlights specific industry sectors or functional aspects within businesses where our blend of expertise and well-established practices can provide valuable support to your company:
Industry-Specific Badges
Financial and Business Services
In the financial sector, organizations need to make accurate projections to stay ahead of ever-shifting market currents and safeguard their clients' money. Leading Anaplan features for this space include reporting and forecasting, strategic planning and operational planning.
The advanced capabilities of Anaplan include its ability to draw up predictive models for multiple scenarios, helping financial institutions and business services organizations prepare for the future. The fast-moving data flowing through the money management world is fuel for Anaplan's powerful algorithms.
Consumer
Organizations selling directly to consumers must stay on top of trends and shifting demand indicators among their audiences. Anaplan features such as market share and growth planning, sales forecasting and promotion planning could help businesses stay at the top of their respective consumer niches.
With a dedicated planning solution like Anaplan, companies can optimize the use of their budgets, figuring out exactly how to allocate their spending. Industry-focused modules like inventory planning and demand forecasting can assist these consumer firms in becoming more efficient and agile than their competitors.
Technology, Media and Telecom
Technologically advanced organizations in the world of IT and communications are subject to major industry shifts based on new advances and developments. Paradigm shifts are common in these industries, and it pays to stay one step ahead with features such as business case management, project planning and facilities management.
With all of Anaplan’s combined capabilities, organizations can keep an eye on both their long-term strategic objectives and their day-to-day priorities. Organizations that deal in advanced technology owe it to themselves to have strong IT stacks for their needs. This is where a customized Anaplan implementation shines.
Manufacturing
Manufacturers deal with numerous currents and trends in their everyday operations — balancing ever-shifting demand patterns against the potentially unpredictable global supply chain for raw materials. Demand planning, operational planning and product forecasting can help these organizations stay ahead of the curve.
The costs that come with slow reactions in manufacturing can be severe. A supplier falling through without backup can set production back severely, and overestimating demand may lead to expensive corrections as companies over-commit. Planning via Anaplan can limit risk and enable confident decision-making.
Use-Case-Specific Badges
Finance
In addition to helping financial services companies, Anaplan also has a role to play in every organization's finance department. The strategic planning, budgeting, and operational planning modules utilized by banks and business services organizations can enhance the agility and effectiveness of any firm in managing its finances. For many of today's companies, competition is fierce and margins are thin. Businesses need to hedge against uncertainty wherever possible, and the insights drawn from Anaplan projections can help in this regard. A customized implementation will reflect the actual challenges facing an individual company.
Sales And Marketing
Crafting an optimal sales strategy or marketing campaign requires leveraging rich data. Anaplan's proficiency in transforming diverse inputs into actionable insights proves invaluable in these domains. Modules such as Territory and Quota, Incentive Compensation, and Marketing Performance Management offer the necessary feedback for departmental leaders.
Building sales and marketing strategies around data-based insights is a way to stay ahead of ever-changing trends among buyers and competitors. Salespeople and marketers can adjust their practices quickly to suit the realities of their respective products and audiences.
Supply Chain
The past few years of supply chain operations have been marked by uncertainty and disruption. In such an environment, it's more important than ever for logistics departments to plan ahead and be prepared for multiple scenarios. Anaplan's capabilities in areas such as sales and operations planning, product and sales forecasting, and demand planning can be particularly beneficial in this context. Organizations basing their supply chain decisions on clear indications from Anaplan are better equipped than their competitors to build resilience into their operational structures. When an unexpected disruption strikes, these businesses are prepared to compensate for it because they've already modeled their options.
HR and Workforce
The core of any business lies in its people, emphasizing the need for optimized systems to manage them effectively, ensuring productivity while fostering their happiness and engagement with the company's mission. This is another useful role for Anaplan, with its headcount and cost planning, compensation and equity planning and talent acquisition features having a major positive impact on human resources.
When an organization can plan out its ideal workforce headcount and talent acquisition plan based on rich data analytics, that business is perfectly positioned to get the most out of its people. An organization that can't attract or retain top performers will struggle, so optimizing HR functions should be a top priority.
