    Planning Experience

Every day, 850 million people see outdoor advertisements orchestrated by JCDecaux. The company runs operations in 80 countries from its headquarters in France, where the company’s IT operations are large and complex. Since 2018, JCDecaux has managed financial KPIs, budgets, forecasts, and purchasing for IT in an Anaplan environment called E@syF'IT. Financial information is shared without boundaries using E@syF'IT. Productivity and collaboration are tracked and enhanced, and operational and finance teams become true strategic partners.

Csilla Mitanchez, JCDecaux: JCDecaux is the world’s leading outdoor advertising company. [It] operates in more than 80 countries and reaches a daily audience of 850 million people.

Anaplan for us is the backbone of IT management and IT controlling. We deployed [the] Anaplan platform to all subsidiaries in the 80 countries.

We have one use case, but this is a very comprehensive use case, called E@syF'IT, because it’s really easy to use. 

We manage every operational phase of IT management and follow financial KPIs also. It includes time tracking for all IT population in France, external and internal staff. 

We use Anaplan for budget, forecast, management, purchase requests, and purchase orders submitted by IT and validated by IT controlling. JCDecaux was the first company to develop this use case in Anaplan eight years ago. 

Anaplan helps us to share any information at any time without boundaries. Having all information and processes in one tool enhance productivity and collaboration. The decision-making became very easy, and Anaplan allowed operational teams and finance teams [to] become real strategic partners.

I’m Csilla Mitanchez, Head of IT and Data Controlling at JCDecaux, and we plan with Anaplan.
