Most IBM Planning Analytics implementations fail in year 2.
Not at go-live. Not during UAT. Year two.
Here’s what actually happens after the consultants leave:
🔴 No ownership. The internal “champion” moves to a different role. Nobody knows who’s responsible for the model anymore.
🔴 No training. The 3 people who attended the go-live training are the only ones who understand it — and one of them just gave notice.
🔴 No roadmap. The business has evolved. New products, new cost centers, new reporting requirements. The model hasn’t kept up.
The technology didn’t fail. The process around it did.
After 10+ years and 40+ TM1 environments, this is the pattern I see over and over.
A great Planning Analytics implementation isn’t a project. It’s a platform — and platforms need ongoing stewardship.
That’s exactly what ForQuest Solutions was built to do.
