Advanced planning and analysis (xP&A) in SAP

The end of best of breed? For a long time, end-to-end planning solutions were implemented almost exclusively with dedicated planning software from specialized manufacturers. Leading ERP suites did not yet have any competitive solutions in their portfolios and tended to view planning as a peripheral issue.

These times have changed: With SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) and SAP Integrated Business Planning for Supply Chain (IBP) in the latest versions, SAP in particular now offers powerful options for mapping end-to-end planning processes (xP&A).

In today's fast-moving business world, this consistency and agility are essential in order to be able to react quickly to unforeseen changes and successfully manage the company. Too often, however, the underlying processes are not integrated and end at the departmental boundary. The aim of extended planning (xP&A) is therefore to implement cross-departmental solutions that integrate all key sub-planning processes - in particular financial planning (FP&A) and operational planning (S&OP).

With SAC and IBP, we have the opportunity to offer our more than 20 years of planning expertise on the basis of the SAP product range and to implement xP&A with smooth integration between your plans and existing SAP applications.  

Our certified consultants will be happy to support you with the digitalization and integration of your planning processes and systems. Benefit from our experience to find the right solution for your requirements and make your corporate planning agile and future-proof.

It was amazing how fast the solution with Board was implemented by celver in intensive cooperation with us. We had very specific requirements for the MFP solution and honestly, we were surprised that we already didn't have to plan the next season with Excel.
