Case Study: SUSE achieves faster, more aligned finance and sales planning with Profit& and Anaplan

Suse implements Anaplan in 6 weeks with Profit& to connect finance and sales planning

Suse, a leading global independent open-source provider, faced significant challenges in financial and sales planning following its divestiture from Micro Focus. Using inefficient spreadsheets created a disconnect between its Sales and Finance teams, making it difficult to produce accurate plans quickly and provide clear visibility to investors. Profit& assisted Suse by implementing a solution using the Anaplan platform to connect strategic planning, sales forecasting, and sales operations.

Profit& implemented Anaplan for strategic business planning in just six weeks, later expanding it to sales performance management, including territory, quota, and incentive compensation. This replaced legacy tools and spreadsheets, integrating fully with Suse's IT infrastructure. The solution provided immense improvements in planning speed, accuracy, and alignment, giving management access to the latest data for effective collaboration and agile decision-making.
