Case Study: Midstream Oil and Gas Company achieves faster planning and better scenario agility with Grant Thornton LLP and Anaplan

Midstream Oil and Gas Company cuts planning cycles by 50% with Grant Thornton LLP

The customer, a midstream oil and gas company, faced challenges making agile planning decisions due to volatile market changes and its reliance on inefficient, manual spreadsheet-based processes. To gain better insight across its complex infrastructure, it engaged vendor Grant Thornton LLP to implement a connected cloud planning solution using the Anaplan platform.

Grant Thornton designed and implemented an Anaplan solution that consolidated data into a single source of truth, streamlining annual and quarterly planning. The results included a 50% reduction in planning cycle time, from four weeks to two, and the ability to run 12 additional monthly flash forecasts. The company also established an internal Center of Excellence, empowering it to support 13 different use cases and achieve greater agility for future scenario planning.
