Short Description
Join us for a forward-looking session that cuts through the hype. We’ll explore why today’s SaaS planning platforms fall short, how the planning and analytics landscape is shifting, and what it takes to build a truly future-ready foundation—one that unifies planning, BI, and data for the AI era.

You have either already invested - or are planning to invest - in a modern SaaS planning (EPM) platform. The promise was clear: escape the chaos of spreadsheets and the rigidity of legacy systems, and finally bring order to planning.

And while there were a few initial wins, a frustrating reality has set in:

  • Data chaos remains. Your EPM tool holds only a fraction of your organization’s data assets, while true analysis and wide reporting still depend on your BI platform.
  • Isolated success. Your new tool delivers value in pockets, but true enterprise-wide adoption feels out of reach.
  • Excel persists. Spreadsheets are still the default for collecting planning inputs across the business.
  • Heavy dependencies. Every new requirement requires consultants, turning small changes into long, expensive projects.
  • Soaring costs. With high per-user license fees, many finance leaders are asking: does it really make sense to pay this much for a solution that still leaves major gaps?
  • Unfulfilled promise. The vision of connecting strategy to operations in real time remains just that—a vision.

When even “modern” tools perpetuate legacy problems, what does the real future of planning look like?

Join us for a forward-looking session that cuts through the hype. We’ll explore why today’s SaaS planning platforms fall short, how the planning and analytics landscape is shifting, and what it takes to build a truly future-ready foundation—one that unifies planning, BI, and data for the AI era.
