With the release of the 2022 Gartner® Market Guide for Cloud Extended Planning and Analysis Solutions, once again, Anaplan lands as a front-runner - credited with enabling pre-packaged solutions for all 5 planning functions beyond finance, in sales, workforce, marketing, supply chain, and IT - further validating our company strategy and position as a market leader.

For this Market Guide, Gartner reduced the vendor list by almost 50%, from 15 vendors in 2021 to only 7 in 2022, citing, “operational planning solutions offered by FP&A vendors, while maturing, may not be as robust as stand-alone BOB planning application counterparts.”

Additionally, according to Gartner, “Cloud xP&A consists of financial planning and analysis (FP&A) and multiple packaged operational planning solutions delivered on a single integrated, composable, data-harmonized vendor platform. It “extends” traditional FP&A solutions focused solely on finance into other enterprise planning domains such as workforce, sales, supply chain and marketing.”

Despite the fact that 96% of Gartner survey respondents are in agreement that operational planning needs to be integrated and aligned with FP&A, Gartner estimates only 25% of organizations have successfully integrated finance and operational plans.

Anaplan’s xP&A platform can help organizations to realize top-line benefits such as accelerated revenue growth, a reduction in costs, improved risk management, and a more optimized workforce, despite today’s ever-changing business environment.
