Anaplan Partner

RM Dayton Analytics is an Anaplan partner that provides advisory services to help leaders transform ambiguity into structured, actionable strategies that align objectives, resources, and outcomes across the organization.

Connected Planning as an Enterprise Capability

Connected planning is not a feature set—it is an organizational capability. Through our Anaplan partnership, RM Dayton Analytics helps organizations design planning models that connect:

Strategic planning
Financial planning and forecasting
Operational planning
Workforce planning
Supply chain and demand planning
Performance management

This integrated approach enables enterprises to move beyond siloed planning processes toward a single source of planning truth that supports enterprise-wide visibility and decision alignment. Data is the new oil, a great largely unexplored resource, buried and waiting for major organizations to exploit. Integrate planning can refine that volume of information into something useful, creating valuable insights.

Traditional business analytics has enabled your company to access critical business information and link the different phases of the management analysis cycle – reporting, analysis, modeling and planning. This cycle in theory is supposed to occur in all areas of your company – finance, planning, marketing, sales, operations and so forth. Yes, most companies are out of spreadsheets, no longer having this intellectual capital trapped in sub-directories of their organization. The big gap, however, has been in elevating finance, sales, and operations into an integrated planning cycle leveraging enterprise AI. Infusing advanced analytics into your business processes with Anaplan partner RM Dayton Analytics will help move you beyond looking in the rearview mirror.

RM Dayton Analytics works as an Anaplan partner to help enterprises design connected planning environments that align strategy, finance, and operations into a single enterprise planning model.
