Attractive licensing, scalable and easy to implement

IBM offer a licensing structure scalable to all sizes of firms and all volumes of data. Firms with less than 50 users can benefit from ‘express’ licencing, whilst larger firms can choose between a licencing structure based on number of users or size of model.

IBM Planning Analytics is available on an IBM cloud, your existing cloud infrastructure or on premise giving total flexibility of choice. We would welcome the chance to discuss your options.

Security

Trusted by financial institutions around the world, IBM’s Analytics and associated infrastructure adhere to recognised security regulations.

Within the application, role-based security supports multiple user types and ensures that users see only what they need to. For example:

• Sensitive client or salary data can be restricted; or
• Dimension changes can be restricted to core finance staff only.
