  • Anaplan consultants get the requirements from BA (Business Analysts) or PO (Product Owners), who are SMEs and understand organization financial processes, understand the functional requirements from stakeholders, and translate the requirement into user stories working with Solution Architects or MA, who then further break it down and design the system from an Anaplan perspective.

  • Thank you Dikshant for your answer. Nevertheless is not enough for me to trust money in a tool that cost that much as Anaplan. Of course, I.think this might no be the forum to ask those kind of questions since the forum is from Anaplan. But I think that answers like those get some potential clients to think twice before getting into this investment.

  • I would suggest you get in touch with Anaplan (support@anaplan.com) and get someone from the Anaplan team to walk you through how Anaplan COE works and to answer more of your questions. This is an Anaplan Support email, they might connect you with the right team to answer this.
