What is IBM Planning Analytics (TM1)?

IBM Planning Analytics is perfectly integrated with popular top-shelf ERP tools, such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and JDE. IBM PA has two interfaces for managing the numerical data import and export process:

IBM Planning Analytics Workspace

(standard online interface)

IBM Planning Analytics for Microsoft Excel

(classic spreadsheet interface)
Both interfaces can be used simultaneously and freely switched between them, and they cooperate with ERP systems operating on one database.

Each interface is based on the IBM TMI1 mechanism, which operates on internal memory (in real-time). It is a stable computational mechanism, that allows you to build detailed and multidimensional models for data analysis.

IBM Planning Analytics, a powerful, multi-level database, and an extremely efficient computing engine, will cope with growing amounts of data and complex business scenarios. IBM PA allows you to develop a comprehensive picture of your organization's performance. With its help, you can create reliable financial analysis - regardless of the origin of the business data (ERP, CRM, etc.).
