Behind the numbers

When it comes to financial transformation, timing, technology, and teamwork matter. That’s exactly what came together in a successful collaboration between cpmview and our client: a leading Dutch fashion brand.
Together, we completed recently phase one of their consolidation journey: The transitioning from SAP BPC to Anaplan, a modern SaaS-based consolidation and reporting platform.
From the very beginning, the partnership was built on trust, commitment, clarity, and shared ambition.

Review from our client:

“The cpmview consultants were highly responsive and collaborative, especially during critical phases such as data migration, model validation, and the transition from SAP BPC to Anaplan. They provided valuable insights during workshops, helped resolve technical discrepancies efficiently, and ensured that deliverables were aligned with our expectations and timelines. The engagement was also well-structured. Overall, we consider this a very successful and pleasant collaboration, and we truly appreciated their dedication and support.”

Smart Migration, Strong Collaboration

Our cpmview team was tasked with implementing a modern, unified, and connected financial reporting platform. This new platform is designed to provide clear and actionable insights, enable informed decision-making, and save valuable time in reporting.
The transition was far more than a system swap. It was a strategic leap. The shift from SAP BPC to Anaplan not only mitigated the risks associated with SAP BPC’s end-of-life but also positioned the client for greater agility and scalability in their financial operations.
With Anaplan now fully operational, the client has realized several key improvements:
  • Streamlined consolidation processes
  • Faster month-end closing cycles
  • Reduced manual processes and reconciliation time
  • Enhanced data import workflows via Datablend
  • Built-in equity pick-up handling within Anaplan
This isn’t just operational efficiency, it’s strategic empowerment; consolidation for growth. The success of a project is not solely measured by numbers but even more by the dedication and effort of the people involved.
“ The cooperation with cpmview has been excellent throughout the project. From the initial vendor selection and advisory phase to the implementation of Anaplan for consolidation and reporting, their team consistently demonstrated professionalism, deep subject-matter expertise, and a proactive mindset.”
