While Anaplan may have coined the term "Connected Planning," many businesses still grapple with identifying the appropriate interconnected elements. Supply Chain suites opt for a unique strategy, integrating planning with network and retail-focused execution components like WMS, TMS, and OMS. ERP suites, conversely, take a different route, encompassing FP&A alongside S&OP capabilities. Despite dedicated planning platforms addressing specific planning functions, they often lack comprehensive coverage of essential aspects, leading to data silos that hinder end-to-end planning traceability unless all planning data resides in a single system. Thus, the question arises: Where do Anaplan's capabilities stand, and how do they measure up against other planning suites?

In today's episode, we invited a panel of industry experts for a live discussion on LinkedIn to conduct an independent review of Anaplan’s capabilities. We covered many grounds, including where Anaplan might be a fit in the enterprise architecture and where it might be overused. Finally, they analyze many data points to help understand Anaplan's core strengths and weaknesses.
