Anaplan continues to deliver on its multi-year $500 million product innovation investment designed to help customers optimize business decision-making
Company expands its Anaplan Intelligence portfolio with the release of Anaplan CoPlanner, application-embedded AI for conversational querying and generative insights
MIAMI, FL - Anaplan, the leading scenario planning and analysis platform designed to optimize decision-making in today’s complex business environment, previously outlined a multi-year innovation roadmap investment that delivers breakthrough platform capabilities, applications and AI designed to help enterprises make decisions better, faster and more efficiently than others in their markets. New product momentum continues with the release of Anaplan CoPlanner, the latest innovation in the suite of AI capabilities, known as Anaplan Intelligence.
Anaplan Intelligence is based on nearly a decade of foundational experience in predictive analytics, ML, linear programming and use case-specific model-building expertise. With AI infused throughout every aspect of the platform, Anaplan is uniquely able to deliver precise, predictive, and generative insights to enhance decision-making, increase profitability and accelerate time to better outcomes across the entire organization
Anaplan CoPlanner brings context-aware, generative AI capabilities to scenario planning and analysis, enabling conversational querying of customers’ data and models. Linked with embedded workflow, Anaplan CoPlanner facilitates immediate action on insights generated, helping customers react at the speed of business. Anaplan CoPlanner will become a native capability in the Anaplan platform, enabling conversational querying and generative insights across multiple models simultaneously. The initial delivery of Anaplan CoPlanner will be embedded in Anaplan applications, the first of which is released today, Anaplan CoPlanner for Demand Planning.
Anaplan CoPlanner for Demand Planning, made generally available on September 30th, includes::
- A secure and ring-fenced enterprise-grade large language model, enabling precise and trusted generative insights
- Anytime, anywhere conversational querying, via mobile phone or desktop, to answers and insights from demand data and models in seconds, including voice-enabled querying on the mobile application
- The creation of workflow tasks, based on Anaplan CoPlanner insights, to automate action on surfaced insights
- An ability to ask domain-specific questions using domain-specific language including demand forecasting across all products and customer data insights
- Enterprise-grade security coupled with a private model that keeps your data and insights protected
- Generative insights derived only from your data, ensuring precise and relevant insights
Anaplan Intelligence is based on a proprietary database of over 1,000 questions and queries that customers have been asking Anaplan models for over a decade. Using anonymized ‘metamodels’ delivered in the recently launched Anaplan Data Orchestrator and Applications, Anaplan users can drill down into forecast (e.g. what are we selling) to demand (e.g. what are we making) to financials (e.g. what are our resulting gross margins) all as a single inquiry that can be seamlessly linked to workflow automation.
“Anaplan is the only planning solution that spans the entire enterprise, from supply chain to workforce and go-to-market performance to finance, covering both the ‘forecast to cash’ and ‘procure to pay’ cycles as a single connected entity. As a result, Anaplan Intelligence is the only conversational and generative AI to span the whole enterprise, as opposed to other vendors’ products where organizations are forced to rely on a hodgepodge of dissimilar and disconnected AI tools that operate in silos,” said Adam Thier, Anaplan Chief Product and Technology Officer.
