Cloud-based SaaS planning and performance management

Overview

Company Historically Provides H1B Sponsorship

Anaplan provides a cloud-based platform that helps organizations manage business planning and performance across departments like finance, sales, and supply chain. The software works by integrating data from across a company into a single environment where users can model different business scenarios, forecast outcomes, and collaborate in real-time. Unlike traditional planning tools that often keep data in separate silos, Anaplan connects people and information across the entire enterprise to ensure all departments are working from the same plan. The company's goal is to help businesses optimize their operations and make faster, more informed decisions through a unified planning process.

Anaplan bets millions on APAC, opens biggest office in India.

Anaplan bets millions on APAC, opens biggest office in India. What's the deal? Anaplan is investing several million dollars to expand across Asia-Pacific, opening its largest office worldwide in Gurugram, India. The site includes the company's first customer experience centre in the region, where business leaders can test role-based AI agents and interactive scenario-planning use cases. What does the company do? Anaplan sells an AI-powered scenario planning and analytics platform that helps companies make decisions across finance, supply chain, sales, and workforce planning. More than 2,800 global companies use it. Why now? APAC posted Anaplan's highest growth rate in new bookings last year. The company now has more than 500 employees across nine sites in the region, plus new data centres in India, Indonesia, and Singapore supporting local data residency. The Gurugram office, opened via a partnership with developer DLF India, spans 3,900m^2 and can hold up to 500 staff. It brings together engineering, product, go-to-market, customer support, marketing, and HR teams. What's the endgame? The Gurugram team will help shape Anaplan's global product roadmap and advance its push toward the "Agentic Enterprise" - an operating model in which role-based AI agents run daily operations across finance, supply chain, HR, and sales. More than 500 APAC customers already use the platform, including Bridgestone, Cebu Pacific Air, Canva, Mitsui Chemicals, Mizuho Bank, and Omron Healthcare. What they're saying: "APAC is critical to Anaplan's growth, continued innovation, and leadership in AI," said chief executive officer Charlie Gottdiener. India head Sanket Deodhar added that "large Indian enterprises want agility at scale," noting customers span sectors from fertilisers to commercial vehicles. The signal: Anaplan's India expansion reflects a broader tech-industry move to tap the country's engineering and AI talent while building closer to fast-growing regional customers. By pairing the office with a customer experience centre, the company is betting that hands-on demos of agentic AI will accelerate adoption across the region. Image credit: Anaplan

Anaplan named a leader in the 2026 Gartner(R) Magic Quadrant(TM) for Sales Performance Management.

Anaplan named a leader in the 2026 Gartner(R) Magic Quadrant(TM) for Sales Performance Management. Anaplan recognized by Gartner(R) as the highest in Ability to Execute among other evaluated vendors MIAMI, July 9, 2026 - Anaplan, a leading AI-driven scenario planning and analysis platform that serves as the decision infrastructure for the Agentic Enterprise, today announced it has been recognized by Gartner(R) in the Leaders quadrant of the Magic Quadrant(TM) for Sales Performance Management (SPM), scoring the highest Ability to Execute among other evaluated vendors. A complimentary copy of the report is available here. Anaplan believes this recognition reflects the company's comprehensive approach to revenue performance management (RPM). Anaplan connects RPM to financial, workforce and supply chain planning on a single AI-driven platform - linking go-to-market planning, sales forecasting and incentive compensation management. Revenue leaders at organizations including LinkedIn, Marsh and PagerDuty use Anaplan to optimize account segmentation and scoring, capacity planning, territories and quotas; model complex variable compensation; and drive predictable revenue through proactive pipeline management, forecasting and integrated performance analytics. In its opinion, Gartner recognition of Anaplan as the highest in Ability to Execute validates what its customers already know: true revenue performance requires an end-to-end platform with planning and forecasting, not just a standalone incentive compensation management tool. To Anaplan, this placement reflects its sustained innovation, the strength of its AI-driven platform and the unmatched agility, ROI and confidence Anaplan deliver to revenue leaders. EJ Tavella, EVP, GM, Integrated Business Applications, Anaplan Over the past year, Anaplan has accelerated its AI roadmap with advanced planning capabilities, including Anaplan CoModeler and the recent announcement of the Agentic Enterprise.

Anaplan named overall leader and recognized as an "Exemplary provider" Across three 2026 ISG Buyers Guides(TM).

Anaplan named overall leader and recognized as an "Exemplary provider" Across three 2026 ISG Buyers Guides(TM). For the second consecutive year, Anaplan led the overall scoring in the 2026 ISG Buyers Guides(TM) for supply chain planning, sales and operations planning, and retail supply chain planning MIAMI, July 8, 2026 - Anaplan, a leading AI-driven scenario planning and analysis platform that serves as the decision infrastructure for the Agentic Enterprise, today announced it has been named the overall leader and recognized as an "Exemplary" provider in the 2026 ISG Buyers Guides(TM) for supply chain planning, sales and operations planning, and retail supply chain planning. Supply chains run on thousands of interdependent decisions: a supplier delay that changes a production schedule, a demand spike that strains inventory, tariff shifts that reprice a sourcing strategy. Anaplan's deterministic platform integrates real-time data from any enterprise source and combines probabilistic AI, planning workflows and role-based agents. This ensures operational leaders not only understand how a change in one part of the chain moves through the rest of it, but can also act on that change, with confidence, in real time. The acknowledgement by ISG for the second consecutive year reinforces Anaplan's product leadership, deep domain expertise and continued commitment to AI-driven innovation for the office of the chief supply chain officer. Supply chain planning has become a boardroom priority because every disruption has financial, operational and customer impact. What's changed is that leaders no longer have time to wait for a quarterly re-plan when a port closes or a key supplier goes dark. Anaplan brings AI and advanced scenario modeling together, with the required business context, so teams can see what's changing, understand the tradeoffs, and act - all within a single, unified platform. EJ Tavella, EVP, GM, Integrated Business Applications, Anaplan The 2026 ISG Buyers Guides for Supply Chain Planning evaluated more than 20 providers across product experience and customer experience, scoring usability, capability, reliability, validation and total cost of ownership and return on investment. The rankings recognize software providers that combine strong product capabilities with a proven ability to deliver customer value. Anaplan, which supports more than 700 supply chain customers, including Nvidia, Michelin, Bayer, and Carter's, eliminates decision latency, turning reactive supply chains into proactive growth engines. Its evaluation confirms that Anaplan's leadership in supply chain is not a one-off achievement but a sustained trajectory of innovation across S&OP, retail and broader supply chain planning David Menninger, Executive Director and Distinguished Analyst, ISG ISG provides authoritative market research and coverage on the business and IT software industry, and the reports are designed to help organizations evaluate software providers.

Anaplan CEO says SaaS apocalypse overblown as firm hits $1.2B ARR

Anaplan CEO Charlie Gottdiener believes the "SaaS Apocalypse" is overblown, arguing it will separate winners from losers rather than harm all enterprise software companies. The enterprise planning platform, which generates over $1.2 billion in annual recurring revenue, has undergone a dramatic turnaround since being taken private in June 2022. When Gottdiener became CEO in December 2022, Anaplan had $600 million in ARR but was unprofitable with unsustainable margins. The company refocused its strategy by listening to customers, who valued the platform's flexibility but cited lengthy implementations and complex model building as issues. Anaplan addressed these concerns by developing out-of-the-box functionality for high-frequency use cases in supply chain and other domains, whilst expanding offshore engineering capabilities to reduce costs. The company now operates profitably whilst continuing to invest in product development and AI.
