Anaplan is a cloud-based enterprise SaaS platform serving as the University's source system for financial planning and analysis (FP&A), budget models, all-funds budgeting, allocation modeling and forecasting. The platform streamlines and enhances institutional planning and financial decision-making by improving efficiency, standardizing business processes and providing greater visibility into financial information. These capabilities support more strategic resource allocation, increased financial transparency, and strong financial stability and performance aligned with the University’s vision.

Requesting Access

For the initial set up of Anaplan access, the Anaplan Implementation Team will work with divisional fiscal leads across the university to determine who will need access to complete tasks in the system.   

The process of requesting access after the initial rollout is still under review and will be shared as it becomes available.   

Any access questions can be directed to the ISU Anaplan Team at ISUAnaplanTeam@ilstu.edu.
