IBM has now made it easier than ever to leave behind manual spreadsheet-based processes and move to a cloud-based performance management solution at a cost that is affordable for anyone and everyone. Whether you work in a large company, a small to medium sized business, or you're just one user that needs to create your own plans, budgets, and forecasts quickly, with IBM Planning Analytics On Demand, you can easily start your journey to digital transformation.
Built on IBM Planning Analytics Workspace, the new IBM Planning Analytics On Demand allows users to benefit from existing Planning Analytics features that have made it one of the planning and forecasting leaders in the market such as multi-dimensional models for planning, forecasting, and budgeting; analysis and dashboards, and what-if scenarios for modeling in your own personal sandbox. Users can contribute to plans and collaborate on business models, deploy sample models, invite users on the front lines to contribute to plans, and collaborate on analysis. The in-memory database capabilities refresh data in real time to ensure that results are always up to date.
The ability to use AI and machine learning to import existing MS Excel workbooks into IBM Planning Analytics Models without requiring a data scientist to complete this task is one of the most exciting new features of Planning Analytics On Demand. When you're ready to add users or host new applications, easily add subscriptions and deploy additional database containers for as many new applications as you need.
Unlimited what-if scenario modeling in your own personal sandbox environment just adds to the benefits of using this self-service offering that includes:
- Built in-tutorials, demos and guided starting points
- Easy, seamless conversion from trial to paid subscription
- Low price entry starting at $45 per month
- Ability to easily add users and applications as your business grows
