Anaplan has appointed Servian as a new business channel partner in Australia and New Zealand, increasing the company's presence in the region.

Servian designs, delivers and manages innovative data and analytics, digital, customer engagement and cloud solutions that help Australian organisations sustain competitive advantage.

It focuses on data and collaboration and can draw on years of cloud solutions experience across diverse projects, industries and technologies to deliver customer success.

Servian is also known for data-driven solutions and its skills and experience will have a positive impact on Anaplan's regional momentum in supporting customer requirements for connected planning.

Anaplan's connected planning approach combined with the company's platform enables companies to operate in a more dynamic and collaborative way.

This gives channel partners such as Servian the opportunity to support customers with all their financial and operational requirements.

“Data is our heritage and has always been at the core of everything we do at Servian,” says Servian CEO Tony Nicol.

“At the same time, we were looking to extend our cloud footprint into executing performance management. Following a market review, we concluded that Anaplan is the leading go-to cloud solution in this space for companies seeking support for their digital transformation requirements.”

Anaplan's flexible modelling provides a way to adapt the tool to the process instead of forcing users to adapt processes to the tool.

It supports all ERP systems instead of restricting the user ecosystem.

“Servian has spent several years building cloud capability excellence and Anaplan's Connected Planning solutions which bring together financial performance, workforce planning, supply planning and sales performance management all in one framework will enable Servian customers to use their data and analytics to build competitive advantage,” says Servian national enterprise performance management practice lead James Wakefield.

“This is a strategic partnership for Servian and we believe that Anaplan will provide the right performance management solution with enterprise scalability for large end enterprise organisations.   We look forward to the combination of deploying our skills in the cloud with the Anaplan cloud-born solution and providing businesses with robust connected planning capabilities.

In addition to providing sales training, certification programs and marketing resources, Anaplan will provide Servian with access to a partner portal providing for advanced learning management, channel enablement, and technical training.
