Case Study: Swisscom achieves faster planning and reporting with IBM Planning Analytics

Swisscom drastically slashes planning and reporting times

Swisscom, a leading telecommunications provider in Switzerland, was facing price erosion, slow real-time calculations, and time-consuming manual reporting processes in its existing planning system. The company also needed a better way to integrate intercompany planning and reduce the effort required to manage and reconcile data. IBM helped Swisscom address these challenges with IBM Planning Analytics and IBM Controller.

IBM implemented IBM Planning Analytics for about 2,150 users in an agile rollout, centralizing planning, reporting, financial consolidation, and intercompany planning in a more flexible, web-based solution. The results included real-time calculations, 50% less time spent preparing month-end reports, and a 30% reduction in system operations costs, delivering better usability, efficiency gains, and data integrity for Swisscom.
