"We recently partnered with Bedford to migrate a number of our dashboards to The UX. Bedford made this process seamless, easily digestible and the end result is something the whole team is very pleased with. As part of the migration, we received training on The UX which has enabled the team to start migrating the remainder of our dashboards and build out content specifically for our senior leadership team, on both mobile and browser. We now have more visually appealing dashboards that are easier to navigate, enabling us to engage with senior management more effectively. The UX will transform the way we use Anaplan within the business."

“When implementing Anaplan we had to act fast. Our go-live deadline was very tight and there was no way to delay. Working with Bedford, with it’s agile, sprint methodology, allowed us to meet our target and deliver budget and forecast on time, all within the Anaplan platform. Fast forward three years and there are still so many ways Anaplan can be extended across Penguin Random House. With new features, use cases and developments happening all the time, I can see us building on our partnership with both Anaplan and Bedford for years to come.”
