Anaplan is a cloud-based planning and performance management platform with documented use cases in finance, sales, supply chain, marketing, IT and HR. The company competes in the business planning market, which for decades has been dominated by the “big four” legacy vendors: IBM, Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft. Anaplan CTO Michael Gould developed Anaplan as a response to these legacy systems. At the core of Gould's technology is a single hub where business users can build, deploy, maintain, and share models without coding or reliance on IT personnel. Founded in the United Kingdom, the company is now headquartered in the United States.
Anaplan is headquartered in San Francisco, (United States of America), with further American offices in Minneapolis, and New York. There are three offices in the United Kingdom including the founding office in York, plus London, and Maidenhead. Additional global offices are located in France,Sweden,Netherlands,Austria,Russia,Australia,Malaysia,Hong Kong,Japan, and Singapore.
Anaplan was founded in 2006 by Guy Haddleton and Michael Gould in Yorkshire, UK. Gould noted, “Outdated technologies and disconnected legacy applications have made dynamic interaction across teams nearly impossible, forcing users into static models that can’t keep pace with daily change” – and set about to change that. He spent two years developing a platform that could utilize new computing abilities, such as in-memory computing, 64-bit multi core processing, database innovation, and SaaS delivery. After four years of platform development, Anaplan was officially launched to the public in October 2010.
