阅读新的Forrester报告:Anaplan的总体经济影响™
第三方研究发现，在3年的时间内，多个客户组合的投资回报率为303%
Time is value for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and the taxpayers it serves as the principal authority for criminal prosecutions in England and Wales. In recent years, steadily growing volumes of disparate data and complex cases snowballed into grueling number-crunching activities. “We wanted to focus our time on adding value to the business, rather than spending so much time on the collation of data,” recalled Finance Director Chris Sharp. Anaplan enabled a zero-based budgeting approach, minimized manual workloads, and maximized efficiency at CPS.\r\n"}}" id="text-ca4266152a" class="cmp-text">
对于皇家检察署(CPS)和纳税人来说，时间就是价值，它是英格兰和威尔士刑事诉讼的主要机构。近年来，不同数据和复杂案件的数量稳步增长，越来越多地变成了令人精疲力竭的数字运算活动。“我们希望把时间集中在为业务增加价值上，而不是花那么多时间整理数据，”财务总监克里斯·夏普(Chris Sharp)回忆道。Anaplan启用了零基础预算方法，最小化了手工工作量，并最大化了CPS的效率。

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is the principal prosecuting authority in England and Wales. As a demand-led service, it has no discretion or influence over the number, type, or complexity of cases it receives, and the service handles every case with high standards to ensure timely justice. A notable uptick in the volume of complex cases meant that the finance team at CPS needed to rethink how they could better manage and optimize operational resources and processes.\r\n
Setting out to improve finance and operational modeling, CPS first embraced a platform approach for planning. In turn, they explored new technology options for planning, citing data security, quick implementations, and powerful modeling capabilities as chief technology requirements. “We recognized that a properly controlled cloud-based solution could ensure that our data was more secure in Anaplan than in spreadsheets,” shared Chris Sharp, Finance Director at CPS.
\r\nWorking in tandem with Bedford Consulting, CPS implemented Anaplan for Finance and quickly saw speed improvements in its previous consolidation processes. Using the platform, CPS was able to produce plans that could be analyzed and refined in real time across the organization. Not only were Sharp and his team equipped with powerful scenario-planning capabilities, but they were now enabled to build the expertise needed in-house to maintain and enhance financial models.
\r\nPrior to implementing Anaplan for Finance, the CPS team spent significant time each month pulling together and collating data. With the platform, consolidating data became instantaneous, and resource allocation has greatly improved. “We’re able to determine the resources we need, and thereby we can plan to get the right workforce with the right level of qualifications in the right location at the right time,” Sharp explains.
\r\nFurther, he reports that his team has experienced valuable benefits, including:

为了改善财务和运营建模，CPS首先采用了一种用于规划的平台方法。反过来，他们探索了用于计划的新技术选项，引用数据安全性、快速实现和强大的建模功能作为主要技术需求。CPS财务总监Chris Sharp表示:“我们意识到，一个适当控制的基于云的解决方案可以确保我们的数据在Anaplan中比在电子表格中更安全。”
CPS与贝德福德咨询公司(Bedford Consulting)合作，实施了Anaplan for Finance，并在之前的整合过程中迅速提高了速度。使用该平台，CPS能够在整个组织内实时分析和改进计划。夏普和他的团队不仅具备了强大的场景规划能力，而且他们现在能够在内部建立维护和增强财务模型所需的专业知识。
在实施Anaplan for Finance之前，CPS团队每个月都花大量时间收集和整理数据。有了这个平台，整合数据变得即时，资源分配得到了极大的改善。夏普解释说:“我们能够确定我们需要的资源，因此我们可以计划在正确的时间、正确的地点获得正确的、具有正确资格水平的劳动力。”
此外，他报告说，他的团队经历了宝贵的好处，包括:
Sharp also credits the zero-based budgeting approach for resource planning, enabled by Anaplan, with giving his team the ability to prepare for an uncertain future. “Operating in a changing world, we’ve seen a shift in the type of cases we receive,” he explained. “With the Anaplan platform, we are able to accurately plan for that now.”\r\n
Keeping up in this environment requires the ability to forecast accurately and flexibly. For CPS, this meant having a state-of-the-art system that could grow and adapt to reflect future changes. With Anaplan for Finance, the CPS team now has scalable enterprise planning technology at their fingertips. “If I were to describe Anaplan in one word, I’d say it’s transformational,” Sharp concluded.
\r\n"}}" id="text-58437c3e37" class="cmp-text">夏普还赞扬了Anaplan为资源规划提供的零基础预算方法，使他的团队能够为不确定的未来做好准备。他解释说:“在一个不断变化的世界里工作，我们看到了我们收到的案件类型的变化。”“有了anplan平台，我们现在就能够准确地进行计划。”
在这种环境下，要想跟上形势，就需要有准确而灵活的预测能力。对于CPS来说，这意味着拥有一个能够成长和适应未来变化的最先进的系统。有了Anaplan for Finance, CPS团队现在有了触手可及的企业规划技术。夏普总结道:“如果要我用一个词来形容Anaplan，我会说它是革命性的。”
