Connected Planning in Banking

As one of the most regulated industries facing fierce competition, banking is undergoing a massive transformation of its operating model to sustain a growth agenda. Adapting to new customer demands, responding to economic volatility, accommodating new capital and liquidity regulations, and transforming their distribution channels, banks require more forward-looking capabilities and collaboration from their planning technology. With Anaplan, you can connect your people, data, and plans to enable real-time planning and decision-making in rapidly changing environments to give your financial services business a competitive edge.

The new reality in banking

Today’s banks are realizing that the traditional operating models – and the systems that have supported them – will not meet the flexible, connected needs for banks to compete in the future. Siloed, specialized systems maintained with arcane custom infrastructure and code are giving way to the cloud-based, user experience driven, on-demand world. Banking business models – whether from regulation, competition, or substitution – will need to reduce windows from planning to reality to near zero.
Digital transformation in retail banking is at an all-time high. Branch transformation connects all parts of the bank from marketing to distribution to service to HR to operations. But historically siloed legacy architectures make it difficult to measure or analyze results versus plans and improve decision-making – it’s time for an improvement.
