IBM Planning Analytics powered by TM1 provides an integrated, easy to use software application for Financial Planning & Analysis. It delivers accelerated budgeting, planning, & forecasting processes together with advanced built-in analytical and reporting capabilities which enable powerful what-if scenario analyses, visualisations, and period-end reporting, including the management of IFRS 16 lease reporting, to bring you an ideal, AI-driven, financial performance management solution.
