With IBM Planning Analytics you can transform your planning & budgeting processes, free up finance team resources & get more from your data than ever before to forecast with greater accuracy.

IBM Planning Analytics (formerly known as Cognos TM1) can do much more than just planning. Many of our customers use it for financial and business performance reporting, calculation and presentation of KPIs, allocation and apportionment, and as a tool for data collection. It can perform an integral part of digital transformation projects, because any task currently performed by Excel can be achieved using Planning Analytics in a way that is faster, more secure, easily scalable, and with increased confidence in the results.

Why Planning Analytics?
The Business Benefits

IBM Planning Analytics enables organisations to harness the power of collaboration with managed workflow. It provides data aggregation and calculations, and allows users to review and analyse results and details from thousands of data points in real time. Plus, users can store key business logic and calculations in a secure application, where changes are made only by designated administrators and are immediately replicated to all participants, eliminating errors and conflicting data.
