Anaplan is banking on the Anaplan XL Reporting Excel add-in!

Anaplan XL Reporting resulted from Anaplan's acquisition of Fluence Technologie in April 2024. This new Anaplan feature optimises financial reporting with an Excel add-in, giving businesses a solution that transforms reporting while leveraging the power of Microsost Excel.

According to the vendor, Anaplan XL Reporting provides reliable and timely insights with permissions, validations and controls around spreadsheets. Teams can then generate financial reports as needed while ensuring integrity and governance by keeping data at the source, within the Anaplan application.

This feature highlights Anaplan's paradigm shift away from being an "Excel killer" towards being a platform that enables users to get the most out of their use cases by revolutionising the way reporting is built, without losing users who want to continue using Excel for their analyses.

Onestream announces enhancements to its data analysis capabilities

At the OneStream Splash EMEA 2024 event in Copenhagen, Onestream announced two notable enhancements for ad hoc analysis:

 

CCH Tagetik launches TAX Provision & Reporting.

Announced on 15 July 2024, Tax Provision & Reporting harmonises all tax data and processes across the enterprise. The infrastructure supports multinationals that have too many requirements to manage the tax provision process separately from financial close and group consolidation. 

The software's enterprise performance management approach to tax provision aligns tax, finance and the rest of the business.

CCH Tagetik empowers finance teams with CCH Tagetik Intelligent.

Announced on 15 May 2024, the CCH Tagetik Intelligent Platform is, according to the vendor, the enterprise performance management (CPM) powerhouse. This award-winning software connects finance and operations teams while automating all end-to-end CPM processes. 

As a one-stop shop for CPM, the CCH Tagetik Intelligent Platform streamlines all financial processes, from financial close and planning to analysis and compliance, from data entry to the final report. 

According to the vendor, users will be able to perform tasks and uncover insights faster and more accurately, thanks to the AI underpinning the entire CCH Tagetik platform.

Vena Insights, the latest innovation from the Vena solution

Launched in July 2024, Vena Insights provides real-time access to Vena data for intelligent analytics and reporting, using advanced Microsoft AI and machine learning technologies, including integrated Power BI. 

The application makes it easy to create dashboards by leveraging connected data models through artificial intelligence. 

Vena Insights features a calculation engine with a flexible formula language called Data Analysis Expressions (DAX) to easily create calculated features that will extract new insights from the data model. 

Designed to improve the efficiency of finance teams, Vena Insights offers a natural-language interface that simplifies the creation of interactive and visually impactful reports, according to the vendor.

Vena makes the Vena for Microsoft PowerPoint feature available.

Vena Microsoft for PowerPoint is a native integration that brings your Vena instance live directly into your PowerPoint presentations. 

Thanks to this integration, organisations can save more time to focus on strategic initiatives and significantly reduce the time spent translating Excel data into presentations. 

The feature includes live data integration, meaning that all changes made to Excel files connected to the Vena database are automatically reflected in PowerPoint presentations. 

Whether it is a last-minute update or a periodic refresh, figures remain consistent across both platforms without requiring manual intervention.
