Traditional planning is a thing of the past

Integrated planning with AI provides companies with clear competitive advantages

The challenges in today’s planning are many and varied: Exploding amounts of information and data from various sources create uncertainty about the timeliness and reliability of plan data. Planning silos in the form of manually maintained spreadsheets with a lack of visibility and adaptability no longer meet the requirements regarding work efficiency and quality. In addition, individual topics are significantly related and interdependent, so planning data for a particular area is often input for a subsequent planning step. An isolated planning of sub-areas is no longer sufficient. Planning today requires networking, systematic coordination, control, and integration of numerous cross-functional processes.

Let our valantic planning experts advise you, for they have years of experience, and they can facilitate your introduction to IBM’s planning and analysis tool.

valantic offers you excellent, expert advice as well as various training courses. Take a look at our IBM Planning Analytics training courses.

IBM Gold Partner

IBM has a product portfolio of over 17,000 products. It’s easy to lose your way here! In addition, IBM offers various license models: Products can be licensed individually, by client/server, bundled with special solutions, or as OEM products through third parties. For companies, the question is which model is the right one and what happens when the basic conditions change: Is it possible to switch to a different license model? Cloud-based or on-premise? Thanks to its longstanding Gold partnership with IBM, valantic is the license professional that can advise companies on all matters, from product selection to license models to the successful implementation, support, and training of users. valantic’s experts can use their expertise to help you answer precisely these questions.

You can find more information about IBM products and services here.
