Celebrating 10 years of Anaplan partnership with a new brand launch
Many significant milestones have come and gone since our first days in 2008 as an Enterprise Planning consultancy on Bedford Street in Northern Ireland.
None more so than in 2011 when our team were introduced to an early version of the Anaplan software, shortly after which, we entered into a formal partnership together. From adding our first Anaplan customer in late 2011, to becoming an exclusively Anaplan partner in 2016 to all of the customers we’ve served right up until today – we’ve relished every single second of that partnership.
Neil Doyle, Bedford Consulting Chairman “At the beginning of each of the last 10 years, we’ve challenged ourselves to be the best Anaplan partner we could possibly be, to be open, honest and collaborative with our team, our partners and our customers and to empower our customers to make the most connected, informed decisions they could make. I’m proud to say we have done that to the best of our ability every single year – and will continue to do so for many more.”
Frank Calderoni, Anaplan CEO said:
“In the decade that Bedford Consulting has worked with Anaplan, they’ve helped deliver successful projects to more than 250 customers. They’ve also been awarded as EMEA Partner of the Year an impressive six times.”
It’s now the right time for us to reflect on our organisational purpose and strategy, and to set our direction for the next 10 years and beyond. We’re a company that enables businesses to connect their planning processes to make better, faster and more agile decisions, and accelerate performance. We give businesses greater visibility and transparency using Anaplan.
Cathal Doyle, Bedford Consulting CEO “I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved together with Anaplan during these past 10 years. Our brand relaunch signals the beginning of something really special, as we look to shape the future of Bedford and the next 10 years of our partnership with Anaplan. It is an exciting period of growth for Bedford, and I’d like to thank everyone who has been on the journey with us so far, we wouldn’t be where we are today with you.”
Frank Calderoni, Anaplan CEO “Bedford is always finding new ways to innovate and improve, and is a trusted and experienced extension of the Anaplan team. We are very proud that Bedford is part of Anaplan’s partner ecosystem and wish the company continued success in all its endeavours.”
We hope our new brand goes beyond just a logo, colours, or visuals. Our brand characteristics are unique to Bedford and form the basis of the promises we deliver to our customers. Our people, our culture and our brand characteristics define our business and separate us from our competitors and are all underpinned by our core values; partnership, teamwork, quality, innovation, customer focus and humility.
Our hope is that our new look will become synonymous with our position as the leading Anaplan EMEA Partner helping businesses unleash their potential through collaborative planning and informed decision making.
Here’s to the next 10.
