Anaplan is strengthening its strategic partnership with Google Cloud in France to offer businesses an AI-powered scenario planning and analytics platform hosted on a secure cloud infrastructure that complies with local requirements. This development aims to provide French organisations with a high-performance environment for making faster, more reliable decisions based on their data.
A cloud infrastructure suited to French businesses
Through this partnership expansion, Anaplan customers in France can now deploy their planning platform on Google Cloud's infrastructure located in the country. This availability meets businesses' growing expectations regarding sovereignty, data residency and regulatory compliance.
Organisations therefore benefit from a secure environment that enables them to leverage their strategic data while complying with local requirements for information protection.
Planning enhanced by artificial intelligence
Anaplan's platform now combines advanced data orchestration capabilities, a real-time calculation engine and domain-specific artificial intelligence agents. These features help improve forecast quality, simulate different scenarios and support decision-makers in an economic environment marked by significant volatility.
Integration with Google Cloud services also enables businesses to combine their internal data with external sources and leverage BigQuery's analytical capabilities to accelerate their analyses.
A partnership serving business transformation
This announcement continues a collaboration between Anaplan and Google Cloud that began several years ago. Following several international deployments, this new phase marks a strengthening of their presence in the French market.
According to Laurent Martini, Managing Director EMEA at Anaplan, this development will enable French businesses to access an AI-powered planning platform hosted closer to their operations, while benefiting from a high level of security and compliance.
For his part, Brian Goldstein, Vice President and General Manager, Strategic AI and ISV GTM at Google, emphasises that this collaboration illustrates Google Cloud's commitment to supporting French businesses in their digital transformation through scalable cloud infrastructure and Anaplan's artificial intelligence capabilities.
A strategy focused on agentic AI
This development also supports the « Agentic Enterprise » strategy recently unveiled by Anaplan. The software provider plans to offer a new generation of artificial intelligence agents designed to assist finance, supply chain, sales and human resources functions.
The first specialised agents for finance departments are expected to be available by the end of the year, with the aim of automating certain operations and enabling teams to devote more time to high-value decisions.
A new milestone for intelligent planning
By expanding its partnership with Google Cloud in France, Anaplan is strengthening its position in the AI-powered enterprise planning market. By combining analytical power, data security and automation capabilities, the two partners aim to support French businesses in improving their decision-making processes and adapting to an increasingly complex economic environment.
