Why Bedford

Plenty of partners can build Anaplan models. Almost none can do this.

Where Bedford is different is scale, Applications depth, and what happens after go-live.

Selective, so we go deep

We take on only the Anaplan engagements where scale and outcomes matter. That focus is what keeps customer satisfaction at 95%.

The deepest Applications bench in EMEA

The largest live Anaplan Applications practice in the region, including the first IFP and SCM Application deliveries in several markets.

Named experts, not generalists

Dedicated SMEs across finance planning, supply chain, sales performance and workforce — with deep sector knowledge in manufacturing, CPG & retail, life sciences and logistics.

We don’t leave at go-live

The same team that implements your Anaplan platform keeps optimising it for as long as you want — through Bedford Advantage.

Get it right – and keep it right

We implement your Anaplan platform properly. Then we make sure it keeps paying off.

Bedford Advantage is a managed service that keeps your Anaplan platform supported, optimised and aligned to the business across its full lifecycle – Review, Response, Optimise and Enhance – on a predictable quarterly fee.

The four pillars of Bedford Advantage:

Where your platform stands and what to prioritise. The entry point to every Advantage engagement.

Fast, accountable answers when something breaks.

Keeps your Anaplan platform aligned as the business changes. The proactive pillar – and where the AI conversation lives.

Dedicated senior capacity to move your platform forward, matched to your roadmap.

Anaplan implementation, done properly

Foundations, architecture and governance built to surface risk and value, not just outputs – so decisions can be trusted from day one.

Bedford Advantage

Continuous Anaplan expertise for the full life of your platform – because Anaplan platforms drift without the right partnership.

Anaplan is putting AI into planning. We make sure you can trust what it tells you.

Anaplan is embedding AI into decision-making. Bedford provides the human intelligence, governance and operating discipline that keep AI-driven decisions trusted, explainable and actionable.

Before AI changes anything, three things have to be right:

  • Data quality — AI can’t improve a model built on bad data.

  • Governance — AI accelerates decisions, and the wrong governance accelerates the wrong ones.

  • Operating model — who owns what, who explains it, who decides.

We get all three right before the AI features event land. This is what Optimise, inside Bedford Advantage, is for.
