Traditional planning and budgeting systems, and even some newer cloud-based solutions, focus solely on the financial aspects of budgeting. They cannot provide the detailed insights into the operational drivers that managers need when deciding whether to remove an expense.
The Anaplan platform, a purpose-built, cloud-native solution, can enable, support, and execute effective zero-based budgeting (ZBB) methodology–a cost discipline that can help improve resource planning, employee engagement, and organizational collaboration.
