SAN FRANCISCO and LONDON, Oct. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Anaplan, the enterprise planning cloud company, today launched a portfolio of marketing apps that gives CMOs and marketing decision-makers deep insights and control over their operations.  The Anaplan for Marketing suite of apps will help align marketing and sales; speed up budget management across all of marketing; and enable fine-grain insights into what is working in marketing and what isn't.

The suite of Marketing apps will be released over the coming 12 months. The initial apps are:

Marketing Resource Management, available today. Eliminates spreadsheets and outdated planning software from the marketing processes across program and campaign planning; budgeting and ongoing spend management. Allows fine-tuning of plans to maximize value across a vast number of marketing drivers such as marketing funnel metrics and marketing channels.  Gives the marketing decision-makers predictive "what-if" control to align marketing with corporate objectives and sales strategy.

Marketing Performance Management, available Q4.  Enables marketers to measure and simulate the impact of potential marketing decisions on pipeline and revenue with campaign data that includes marketing funnel metrics.

"The majority of marketing departments are still stuck using spreadsheets or outdated software to manage huge investments and an ever-increasing complexity of global activity. Furthermore, marketing continues to struggle to determine ROI and attribution," said Fred Laluyaux, Anaplan CEO.  "With the flexibility and power of Anaplan, we see a big opportunity to help optimize efficiency of operations and maximize effectiveness of investments in marketing."

"Digital disruption is reshaping enterprise companies at a pace that continues to accelerate," said R "Ray" Wang, founder and principal analyst at Constellation Research.
