SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Anaplan,
Inc. (NYSE: PLAN), a pioneer in Connected Planning, today unveiled an
updated platform user experience and a new mobile app for access to

experience to deliver increased efficiencies in our planning process by
making it easier for our more than 100 users to actively engage in
planning and collaborate in real time.”

Anaplan’s new platform experience allows users to update plans quickly,
visualize impacts in real time, and make decisions confidently. For
example, sales representatives can update sales opportunity forecasts in
real time on the mobile app, providing sales leadership rapid visibility
to sales attainment and financial performance.

• A new, modern user interface (UI) that facilitates
  enterprise-wide planning and drives personalized experiences for every
  user of the Anaplan platform. Users enjoy visually impactful, highly
  customized views and reports to drive insightful planning and analysis
  for every business group throughout the enterprise.

  experience so users can build plans and execute quickly, access
  customized views and multidimensional reports, and increase
  productivity with faster, direct access to the most important
  information and applications.

  making on the go, with a highly responsive and secure experience that
  simplifies the informed decision-making process across devices.
