Case Study: Global Content Publisher achieves faster top-down technical planning with Revelwood and IBM Planning Analytics

Global Content Publisher - Customer Case Study

Global Content Publisher, a global provider of scientific, technical, medical, and scholarly content and workflow solutions, needed a custom technical planning model to handle its complex product mix and unique business needs. Using IBM Planning Analytics, Revelwood was engaged to design, develop, and implement a model that could support granular planning by subject category and product type while still aligning with the company’s top-down planning approach.

Revelwood helped the publisher rethink what needed to be planned versus analyzed, simplifying unnecessary detail and focusing the model on the dimensions that mattered most. With IBM Planning Analytics, Revelwood delivered a multi-dimensional top-down planning process that can spread one consolidated number across tens of thousands of SKUs, giving the company faster, easier planning and better visibility into revenue trends, seasonality, and product-type performance.
