The study aims to evaluate the potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises may achieve by implementing Anaplan for finance-led forecasting, planning, and analysis (FP&A), as well as financial consolidation and reporting. It outlines the challenges faced by organizations prior to adopting Anaplan, including fragmented workflows, reliance on spreadsheets, and limited visibility across finance and operations.

Key quantified benefits include increased efficiency across reporting activities and improved forecast accuracy, leading to a net present value (NPV) of $11.5 million and an ROI of 152%.
