Anaplan

Anaplan connects financial planning with the operating assumptions maintained by other teams. Shared source data and workflows support forward-looking scenarios, while the finance offering includes analysis, consolidation and reporting. Workforce or sales plans can supply context for a financial planning discussion. The models need consistent business definitions so that a changed result can be traced to the assumptions behind it.

Assigning a planning task

A Workflow owner can open a worksheet or board page, choose Create task, then Page Task. Add a title and instructions, select the assignee, optionally set a due date and time zone, and create the task. The recipient must have a role in the page's model. This creates a one-off task for one person, such as asking a budget owner to update next month's hiring assumptions.

Model-building assistance

CoModeler is a separate subscription that must be activated for the workspace, and its users must be workspace administrators. From an open model, use the AI control in the navigation bar to describe a change in English. It can propose numbered actions for review, and you can approve selected steps.

Starting a prompt with Approve or Approved authorizes immediate action instead of a separate plan-approval stage. Changes appear in model history under the user's name with AI-Assisted as the method. The model can be reverted to an earlier version. CoModeler follows the user's permissions, and conversation context does not carry into a new session.

Anaplan users need access to an organization workspace and its models. Contact Anaplan to discuss pricing and scope; there is no public numerical tariff on its main product and contact pages. Include the planning applications, model-building roles and optional AI services in that discussion.
