A new press release reports, “Anaplan has added Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) in the 2016.4 release of its leading planning and performance management platform. First to market with an advanced ALM in the cloud Enterprise Performance Management space, Anaplan is giving customers greater precision and control when managing applications across development, test, and production environments, thereby enabling greater flexibility in adapting to changing conditions. The new release also improves model history tracking for greater visibility and auditability.”

The release continues, “The benefits of Anaplan’s ALM offering include: Easier management of the development, testing, deployment, and maintenance of Anaplan-based plans and applications across a business. Users can automatically see changes and synchronize models. Improved data safety and reliability since model building, administration, and deployment responsibilities are separated and controlled. Revision control enabling administrators to tag model structure revisions that are ready for testing or for deployment to production. Improved auditability using a summary of net structural changes that can be created before changes are synchronized. Added security so that a deployed environment’s structure can be locked down to prevent inadvertent or unwanted changes.”

Michael Gould, Anaplan’s Chief Technology Officer and Founder, commented, “Only Anaplan offers this level of sophistication and efficiency in a modern enterprise platform that reduces the production deployment timeline from days to hours… As a cloud-native platform, Anaplan is leading the market with capabilities such as ALM, which address customer-driven requirements around security, governance, and efficiency.”
