IBM Planning Analytics Health Check
Maximise the resilience, efficiency, and value gained from your planning tools with Sempre Analytics

IBM Planning Analytics (with TM1 at its core) offers a powerful range of capabilities that have been evolving and improving since its launch. Regularly evaluating your applications is essential, not just in the context of changing business requirements, but also to address the impact of personnel changes, organically evolving systems, time pressures that may lead to deviations from best practices, and obsolete components left behind over time.

Even if you have an experienced IBM PA team in-house, an IBM Planning Analytics health check from Sempre Analytics offers a fresh pair of eyes to review what’s in place and identify opportunities to improve the design, performance, security, and maintenance of the system in place, and offer a roadmap to make improvements.

So, what makes us different?

We believe in service over sales

You’ll never hear us recommending things that benefit us, but have very little benefit for you. We are a customer-first organisation, not a sales first organisation.

We believe in continuity of consultant

Having to regularly educate a new consultant on your business or your systems, slows down the effectiveness of a project. With Sempre, you never get a sea of new faces. You’ll always be working with someone trusted who you know and who knows you.

We believe in relationships, rather than transactions

Too many companies are focused on hitting quarterly targets rather than building long-term relationships. We aim to become a true partner to our customers, not just a resource.

We believe in making ourselves redundant

We hate to see people struggling with technology because of a lack of training or the need to rely on a third-party to make changes. We design every system in such a way that our customers can own them and stay totally self-sufficient.
