Anaplan named the most ‘Exemplary’ vendor in both 2025 ISG Software Research Buyers Guides™ for Supply Chain Planning and Sales & Operations Planning

Anaplan's placement in the 'Exemplary' quadrants reflects the company's ability to meet rigorous criteria across seven key categories. Five are product experience related: usability, manageability, relia­bility, adaptability and capability, and two are customer experience related: provider validation and total cost of ownership, and return on investment (TCO/ROI). According to ISG, Anaplan was specifically recognized in the Supply Chain Planning Buyers Guide for:

• Ranking 1st overall in 'Customer Experience,' with #1 Leader status across both the Validation and TCO/ROI categories
• Ranking 2nd overall in 'Product Experience,' with Leader status across four of the five categories: Capability, Manageability, Reliability, Usability
