What is "anaplan"

Anaplan is a cloud-based business modeling and planning platform for sales, operations and finance. The company is a recent entrant to the business planning market, which for decades has been dominated by the “big four” legacy vendors: IBM, Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft. Anaplan CTO Michael Gould developed Anaplan as a response to these legacy systems. At the core of his technology is a single hub where the business user, and not IT, can build, deploy, maintain, and share models.

Anaplan is headquartered in San Francisco, with offices in Minneapolis, England, France, Sweden, Benelux, Australia, Russia, Malaysia, and Singapore.
