Start small and scale-up
IBM Planning Analytics can easily scale-up to huge volumes of data. FP&A teams often start in one area, making quick wins and gaining some time back from laborious number-crunching, then expanding to take in other models, markets or parts of the organisation. At Aramar, we recommend this kind of modular approach which shortens time-to-value and is particularly suited to Planning Analytics deployment.
We recommend deployment via Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provided by IBM, but Planning Analytics is also available for installation locally on your own hardware or public cloud.
