Support Portal

We are thrilled to announce a new, enhanced Anaplan Customer Care portal, launching on 11th December, 2024 (ANZ). This upgrade is part of our ongoing efforts to streamline and improve the support experience based on feedback from Anaplan customers. The new portal will improve case visibility and make it easier for you to get the help you need – fast.

With the new portal, we are introducing the Portal Administrator (Portal Admin) role—a pivotal position designed to streamline case management. Portal admins have expanded permissions to submit and manage cases via the portal, view all company cases, add watchers, and control user access. Initially, each customer is able to have up to five portal administrators.

==========================

Anaplan Academy is moving to a new Learning Management System and will be unavailable from 24th Nov to the 3rd December (ANZ local dates). Self-Serve training including the Model Builder courses will not be available during this time. Previous completions will be migrated to the new system.

Congratulations to @GarryW and @Fei Gao on becoming Master Anaplanners recently!
