James Mash, SUSE: Being able to plan and forecast rapidly and accurately allows businesses to pivot to changing markets and drive growth.
SUSE is an open-source software solutions provider. We provide enterprise grade Linux solutions to our customers to allow them to achieve their goals.
We use Anaplan for financial forecasting and planning, as well as sales planning and commissions calculations.
We have grown our revenue every year since we’ve been using Anaplan, in some years double digits. Our sales compensation queries have more than halved. Our forecast accuracy has improved a great deal. Our business processes are much, much faster.
Every department uses the same system for connected activities. It means we don’t work in silos and that we can all be singing from the same hymn sheet.
For me, Anaplan allows us the flexibility that a lot of our stakeholders are used to when using spreadsheets. But as an IT person, it also allows us a greater level of control.
We are bringing open-source solutions worldwide. Anaplan is vital for that.
I’m James Mash, technical product owner for Anaplan at SUSE. And we plan with Anaplan.
