Unifying FP&A on Anaplan for a global telecom leader

A global telecommunications leader

The challenge

What the client was trying to solve

Fragmented planning platforms were slowing budgeting, weakening forecasts and making ERP integration risky.

The business problem

01
Fragmented planning platforms created inefficiencies and prevented accurate financial forecasting and decision-making.
02
The lack of a unified tool caused delays and inconsistencies in budgeting and reporting.
03
Integration with the ERP carried significant risk of disrupting critical operations.

Branta's approach

Assessment, vendor selection and a structured roadmap that unified FP&A on Anaplan, integrated with the ERP.

Ran an in-depth assessment of system gaps, organisational readiness and the key transformation drivers.
Facilitated vendor shortlisting, the RFI process and contract negotiation, leading to the selection of Anaplan as the FP&A planning tool.
Executed a structured implementation roadmap aligned to deadlines and designed to minimise disruption.
Provided onboarding and training so the client could use the new analytics and reporting capabilities long term.
