Why should I switch to IBM Planning Analytics?
Planning Analytics’ main strength lies in its scalability. Both on-site installation and cloud installation can scale infinitely, handling any volume of analytical data as necessary.
Is IBM Planning Analytics related to TM1?
Yes. IBM Planning Analytics is the new name for TM1.
The basic concept of the TM1 in-memory database remains at the heart of Planning Analytics, but IBM have enhanced it with modern intuitive user tools and AI functionality.
What's new with IBM Planning Analytics?
Planning Analytics is regularly being updated. To keep up to date with the latest functionality and updates, check our News section where we’re regularly posting information on the latest updates not just to Planning Analytics, but all other parts of the Business Analytics suite.
Is IBM Planning Analytics a locally installed service, or is it run from the cloud?
While we recommend a cloud setup, the answer can be either!
Planning Analytics fully supports being run locally and installed on premise in your own data centre, providing you’re comfortable and happy with hardware requirements, scaling and updating.
For those that require the convenience of automated updates and scaling, Planning Analytics fully supports being run from the cloud.
If I have a local Planning Analytics service, can I migrate this to the cloud?
Absolutely!
All IBM Business Analytics products can be migrated from a locally installed service, to a cloud service hosted and managed by the IBM Cloud Operations Team.
