Your solution for planning, budgeting, forecasting, analysis, and scorecarding
Companies today face a variety of challenges, from insecure data sources to inefficient, isolated planning silos. Integrated planning is necessary to meet the increasing requirements. valantic offers you professional consulting to make it easier for you to get started with IBM Planning Analytics.
Integrated planning with AI provides companies with clear competitive advantages
The challenges in today’s planning are many and varied: Exploding amounts of information and data from various sources create uncertainty about the timeliness and reliability of plan data. Planning silos in the form of manually maintained spreadsheets with a lack of visibility and adaptability no longer meet the requirements regarding work efficiency and quality. In addition, individual topics are significantly related and interdependent, so planning data for a particular area is often input for a subsequent planning step. An isolated planning of sub-areas is no longer sufficient. Planning today requires networking, systematic coordination, control, and integration of numerous cross-functional processes.
Let our valantic planning experts advise you, for they have years of experience, and they can facilitate your introduction to IBM’s planning and analysis tool.
valantic offers you excellent, expert advice as well as various training courses. Take a look at our IBM Planning Analytics training courses.

Flexible and easy scalability
In times of growing data volumes and data diversity, plans can be adapted quickly and easily in real time without having to change processes.
Well-known spreadsheet interface with additional extensions
The combination of the well-known Microsoft Excel interface and new, more extensive functions ensures that users can find their way around and at the same time perform more powerful analyses than in classic spreadsheets.
Company-wide collaboration and data consistency
Provide a unified, consolidated data foundation across the company, one that serves as a basis for transparent, integrated planning. This eliminates data silos and provides a representative overview of the company’s situation.
One solution for all the applications you need
The solution can be used to gain insights from current business and to plan for the future – all on the basis of a single interface, into which the entire analysis tool portfolio is integrated.
On-premise, in the cloud, or hybrid
Depending on the individual decision, the solution can be operated locally on-premise or also in the cloud, allowing access from anywhere with a consistent database. In addition, it is possible to combine both variants, to create a hybrid operation.
Look into the future
Make predictions and gain insights automatically – directly from the data.
Detailed analyses
Use the what-if analysis of IBM Planning Analytics to test hypotheses and to achieve better calculations, planning, and forecasts.
Apply MS Excel knowledge
The integrated Microsoft Excel interface (IBM Cognos TM1 Excel Client) supports planning and analysis with IBM Planning Analytics.

Analyze existing processes
We evaluate your challenges and the degree of maturity in your company.
Create a proof of concept
In the next step, we will work with you to create a proof of concept of a planning process already in place in the company within a few days. The result will show you your individual optimization potential and the flexibility of modern solutions.
Create a proof of technology (optional)
We compare best-in-class platforms to help you choose the best solution for your overall project.
Create a proof of value
Our experienced consultants will determine the individual added value for your company. From this, budgets associated with an introduction as well as the added value to be achieved in the medium term can be calculated in the form of a return on investment (ROI).
Holistic consulting approach
We will assist you as your partner from the definition of the business case to the selection of the platform to the successful introduction. If needed, we also take over the operation of your solution, incorporate adjacent systems, and train your users and modelers. Together, we will ensure the success of the project.

IBM Gold Partner
IBM has a product portfolio of over 17,000 products. It’s easy to lose your way here! In addition, IBM offers various license models: Products can be licensed individually, by client/server, bundled with special solutions, or as OEM products through third parties. For companies, the question is which model is the right one and what happens when the basic conditions change: Is it possible to switch to a different license model? Cloud-based or on-premise? Thanks to its longstanding Gold partnership with IBM, valantic is the license professional that can advise companies on all matters, from product selection to license models to the successful implementation, support, and training of users. valantic’s experts can use their expertise to help you answer precisely these questions.
