Frequently asked questions
Flexible software for modeling various sustainability use cases, with out-of-the-box functionalities such as scenario planning, AI-forecasting, and unlimited data granularity. Connect sustainability questions to other impacts like finance, production, and logistics.
Plan and forecast sustainability-related processes, including finance aspects such as cost and margin changes. Visualize results for procurement, production, strategic investments/budgets, and other company processes or sustainability targets.
Generally no, as the software can model any use case. However, for regulated reporting based on ESG standards, check how to fulfill requirements through an IBM Business Partner or other IBM sustainability software like Envizi. IBM only provides free "accelerators" for IBM Planning Analytics clients, not productive sustainability models.
