By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Anaplan's CEO, Charlie Gottdiener, believes the perceived "SaaS Apocalypse" is an overblown market correction that will ultimately distinguish successful companies from less competitive ones. Since being taken private in 2022 and under new leadership, Anaplan has undergone a significant financial turnaround, increasing its Annual Recurring Revenue to over $1.2 billion and achieving profitability. This transformation involved cost reductions, a strategic focus on customer value and high-frequency use cases, and the development of out-of-the-box applications, partly through the acquisition of a division from Vuealta, to improve time-to-value and ease of use.
