For Bil Biry Mohammad Anaplan is not a new thing. He was once part of the ED-SEN Consulting project team who worked on several Anaplan projects in companies that were clients of ED-SEN Consulting. 

For this reason, when taking the Anaplan certification for Level 1 and Level 2, Bil admitted that it was not so difficult to do it. Bil said that level 1 is not too technical and there are many case studies and basic knowledge about Anaplan. "In Level 1, we learn what Anaplan is, what Anaplan's best practice is," said Bil, who is currently a member of the Power BI project team at ED-SEN Consulting. 

Bil explained that for level 1 Anaplan certification, there is only an exam at the end of the material. However, for level 1, the material is not as technical as when he entered Level 2. "Level 1 is only a basic introduction to Anaplan," said Bil. 

While at Level 2, Bil admits that the level of difficulty is more than Level 1. At Level 2, according to Bil, there are many case studies encountered. “At level 1 we are still being guided, the step-by-step is clear. Now for Level 2, we are required to find a formula and perform an analysis by Anaplan,” said Bil. 

For Level 1 and Level 2, according to Bil, they are also interrelated as all the material we learn at level 1 will be continued at level 2. Bil added, for Level 2, the exams are per chapter. There are 3 chapters that we have to do and finally, we have a conclusion test whose material comes from Level 1 and Level 2. 

After completing  Level 2, lastly, just take the Anaplan Way. In this Anaplan Way there are no exams and only contains quizzes. This Anaplan Way contains training related to our preparation if we want to implement Anaplan in the project. "The Anaplan Way is a kind of methodology, what if we were in a project implementing Anaplan, what would it look like in terms of project management." said Bil.

Bil said, if we have experience in implementing Anaplan on clients, this Anaplan Way is a kind of best practice for us to implement Anaplan on projects. 

In addition to taking the certification for Level 1 and Level 2, Bil who has experience implementing Anaplan in several ED-SEN Consulting projects also provides training for his teammates in the project. 

In this training, Bil shared his experience on how to implement Anaplan in the project. “So I gave best practice on how to implement Anaplan in the Project. Because the case that we get in the certification is not necessarily the same as the case when we implemented Anaplan in the project,” said Bil. 
​

The Anaplan certification program itself is a program from ED-SEN Consulting as the official partner of Anaplan in Indonesia. In this program, the Anaplan project team is required to take the certification to have in-depth knowledge of Anaplan. This certification also helps facilitate the performance of the team that implements Anaplan on the client. In addition, so that the certified Anaplan project team has the feasibility to implement Anaplan in companies that are clients of ED-SEN Consulting. ​

At the beginning of participating in the Anaplan certification up to Level 3 Model Builder, Saurama Dimas Maulana followed every stage, starting from Level 1 Model Builder. 

At Level 1, he learns the basics of Anaplan starting from the basic modules and the basic material for the features in Anaplan. After Level 1 is finished, he proceeds to Level 2 Model Builder. Level 2 is already starting to be difficult because it starts to make reporting formulas from scratch. "At level 1 we have provided a template and we just need to complete it," said Dimas. 

For Level 3 Model Builder, this is specifically for vendors because at level 3 we are given a case like we are working on a project on a client. “In this Model Builder Level 3 certification, we are given a mini project and its documents. Here we are like working on a project in a company complete with documentation of problems from the company,” said Dimas. 

In Level 3 Model Builder, we analyze what the company's needs are through the cases given in a story. "So here we are like meeting with clients who need reports for their companies and all of that is based on stories," said Dimas. 

For the level of difficulty, Level 3 Model Builder feels more difficult than the previous level. In Level 3, based on Dimas, are required to know the business process of the company that is the case we are working on. 

From this certification, Dimas admitted that it was very helpful in its implementation to work. One of them is how Dimas can understand the client's wishes. "Like during user stories, we can ask the points that clients need when we are working on a project," said Dimas. 

In addition, Dimas also added that from this certification he also knows his best practice in building Anaplan according to the methodology in the Anaplan Way. 

Dimas said that he hoped to be able to share the knowledge he gained with colleagues in the Anaplan ED-SEN Consulting project team. "I want to share the knowledge I got from this certification for friends who are new to the ED-SEN Consulting project team so that the team can run with the same knowledge," Dimas said. 

The Anaplan certification program itself is a program from ED-SEN Consulting as the official partner of Anaplan in Indonesia. In this program, the Anaplan project team is required to take the certification to have in-depth knowledge of Anaplan. This certification also helps facilitate the performance of the team that implements Anaplan on the client. In addition, so that the certified Anaplan project team has the feasibility to implement Anaplan in companies that are clients of ED-SEN Consulting.

Tetuko Adi : Anaplan is a Fairly Complete Tool Because Everything can be done from Planning to Financial Analysis

Initially, Tetuko Adi, one of the Business Intelligence project team at ED-SEN Consulting, did not have any experience in Anaplan. While learning Anaplan through the Level 1, Level 2, and Anaplan Way certifications that he just took, Tetuko slowly started to get to know and learn what the Anaplan platform looks like. 

"I started from the basics, really an amateur who previously did not understand what planning and forecasting looked like," said Tetuko. 

According to Tetuko, the certification material at Level 1 is not too technical and there are many case studies and basic knowledge about Anaplan. "In Level 1, we learn what Anaplan is, what Anaplan's best practice is," said Tetuko. 

At the beginning of this certification, Tetuko admitted that it was difficult for him to learn Anaplan was a new thing for him. "I am basic in coding and Anaplan is basic in Excel and formulas," said Tetuko. 

Tetuko explained that for Level 1 Anaplan certification, there is only one exam, namely at the end of the material. However, for Level 1, the material is not as technical as when he entered Level 2. 

For Level 2, Tetuko admits that the level of difficulty is more than Level 1 because there are many case studies here. "At Level 1 we are still being guided, the step-by-step is clear. So for Level 2, we are required to analyze by Anaplan,” said Tetuko. 

For Level 1 and Level 2, this is also interrelated as all the material we learn at level 1 will be continued at Level 2. For Level 2, the exam is per sprint. There are 3 sprints that we have to do and finally, we have a conclusion test whose material comes from Level 1 and Level 2. 

After completing Level 2, lastly, just take the Anaplan Way. In this Anaplan Way there are no exams and only contains quizzes. Anaplan Way contains training related to our preparation if we want to implement Anaplan in the project. "The model is like best practice if the project implements Anaplan, what does it look like in terms of project management," Tetuko said. 

In addition, in this Anaplan Way we are also taught what if we encounter a problem in implementing Anaplan in the Project and how to find a solution. 

Tetuko added that in the Anaplan Way there is also a timeline template and an interview template with users as well as everything related to users in the field. "In Anaplan Way, there are only cases," said Tetuko. 

Tetuko believes that Anaplan is a fairly complete tool because everything can be done by Anaplan from planning to financial analysis. "For example, the management in the company wants to make a decision, Anaplan has a dashboard that can see the company's performance." Tetuko said. 

Meanwhile, from the end-user side, it is also complete, including the forecasting feature in it. “If the previous user is familiar with Excel it will be very easy to migrate to Anaplan.” Tetuko said. 

In terms of stability and performance, Anaplan which is based on the cloud whenever we want to use it is always smooth and there are never any problems. "In terms of performance, it is also very good," said Tetuko. 

Tetuko hopes that from this certification if one day he is asked to help with an Anaplan project at a client, he will be better prepared to help the team working on the Anaplan project. 

Meanwhile, for ED-SEN Consulting, Tetuko hopes that with more team members taking the certification, ED-SEN Consulting's selling point in front of clients will increase and become more valuable for the company because it has certified human resources. 

The Anaplan Certification Program itself is a program from ED-SEN Consulting as the official partner of Anaplan in Indonesia. In this program, the Anaplan project team is required to take the certification to have in-depth knowledge of Anaplan. In addition, this certification also helps facilitate the performance of the team that implements Anaplan on the client. 
​

In addition, the Anaplan certification also aims to make the Anaplan ED-SEN Consulting project team as Anaplan's official partner in Indonesia already certified and eligible to implement Anaplan in companies that are clients of ED-SEN Consulting.

Ricky Wijaya, Learning Anaplan is A New Experience

Learning Anaplan is a new experience for Ricky Wijaya, one of the project teams who work on the Power BI project at ED-SEN Consulting. 

Ricky's initial introduction to Anaplan was obtained through the Anaplan Certification which he recently experienced. 

Ricky said at the beginning of this certification he worked on the First Level of Model Builder. He admitted that at first he was still confused with Anaplan because he had never previously known about Anaplan. “I didn't have any basics in Anaplan before so I was a bit confused at first."  Said Ricky.

At the first level,  I can still understand because there are modules so I can learn from the modules at level 1. “Materials at the first level such as general lists are still easy to follow,” said Ricky. 

According to Ricky, these modules are very helpful for understanding Anaplan, especially in the material there is also a video that helps us to understand the material at the first level. 

Ricky also said that 4 people from the Power BI team took the Anaplan certification up to the next level, (2nd Level) Model Builder. "We started this certification together, but we finished differently,"  Ricky said. 

Early start at the first level is taught more about the basics of Anaplan, starting from the introduction of what Anaplan is, then what the modules are like. "It's more of an introduction, if I see it at Level 1, it's like making a list of modules," said Ricky. 

As soon as I entered the 2nd Level, I saw that the material was more advanced. The way we do the material is mostly by using formulas. “At Level 1, we learn how to make lists and how to import, but for the 2nd Level, the formula is more" 

Furthermore, for Level 2, apart from having more modules than Level 1, these modules are also connected and must use a formula to connect them. "We can get this formula from the clues given," said Ricky. 

For the time to complete it, Ricky admitted that Level 2 took longer than Level 1. "About 8 days it took me to complete this Level 2," said Ricky. 

Ricky said 3 stages must be done in Level 2. So for level 2, each module has a test. In total, for Level 2, there are 4 exams that we have to do. “So the test is in Sprint 1 to 3 and the last is the conclusive test. In that exam, we all have to pass and then we get the certification for level 2,” said Ricky. 

After Level 2 finished, he just continued to the Anaplan Way. For the Anaplan Way, it is not too heavy, only the material and there is a quiz too. Overall, until the Anaplan Way was finished, Ricky admitted that it would take about 3 weeks. 

According to Ricky, Anaplan training from a project team member is also very helpful in providing an overview of Anaplan implementation for clients. "From this training, we learn from experiences that we have implemented before," Ricky said. 
​

After getting this Anaplan certification, Ricky admitted that it was like getting a new experience in getting to know more platforms. If all this time he was familiar with Power BI, now Ricky is getting new knowledge, namely Anaplan. "From this certification, I have an overview of Anaplan starting from how to make lists to the modules in Anaplan." Said Ricky, who is an Alumni of the Indonesian Islamic University in Yogyakarta.

Muhamad Reza Geovani : "Anaplan Certification is a Challenge for me"

Learning new things in the world of work is certainly a challenge for everyone, including Muhamad Reza Geovani. For Reza, who is part of the Project BI team, learning Anaplan is a fun challenge. 

Last June, Reza took the Anaplan certification for Level 1 and 2 model building and the Anaplan. According to him, the target of taking this certification is only up to Level 2 model building. 

For the order, at first, I took Level 1 first because this is the basics of Anaplan. It took about 1 week to manage to complete this 1st level. "For Level 1, I learned the basics and formulas in Anaplan" Reza said. 

Reza also admitted to studying the features in Anaplan in this level 1. Reza gave an example when he opened Excel and then moved to Anaplan, it was a bit tricky. However, for Reza who is already familiar with excel, it will be easier when moving to Anaplan. 

“There are many features in excel that can be used in Anaplan. For example, in Excel we usually enter formulas such as Sum, VlookUp and this formula is also in Anaplan". Said Reza. 

Reza admits that for level 1 he has not encountered any difficulties. At the first level, according to Reza, he learns with Anaplan's guidance. For example, there is a module that we must enter a formula whose formula has been provided by Anaplan. 

However, for the second level, Reza admitted that he had some difficulties. He gave an example, if at first level, there is a module that we must enter a formula and the formula is already available. Meanwhile, at Level 2 we must make our formula. 

“At Level 2, Anaplan only describes for us how to make our formula. But fortunately, Anaplan still gives a clue for us to be able to make our formula at Level 2.” Reza said. 
Reza added that the last stage of the Anaplan certification he took was the Anaplan Way. In the Anaplan Way, according to Reza, it is like learning the Anaplan methodology when working on projects with clients. 

According to Reza, he has learned many new things from taking Anaplan certification, one of which is about data visualization. So far, according to Reza, data visualization can only be displayed in Excel or Power BI, but apparently, other platforms can not only perform data analysis, but we can also create data visualization dashboards in Anaplan. 

"In Anaplan, we can directly input data on the dashboard, even though it looks better to see the data display in Power BI," said Reza. 

Reza hopes that in the future, if required to participate in the Anaplan project, he can help the Anaplan team to work on projects for clients. He also hopes that by taking this certification, he can be more flexible in working on projects. 

"I'm not only part of the Power BI team but if asked to help the Anaplan team I can help support their work." Said Reza, who is an alumnus of Gunadharma University. 

Reza also talked about the Anaplan training given by one of the project teams which was very helpful in understanding Anaplan. In the training, Reza admitted that he learned about best practices from Anaplan, such as how to make modules and dashboards in Anaplan. 

For Reza, Anaplan is like a formula that is simpler and easier to use when compared to a spreadsheet. Apart from that, Anaplan's dashboard looks much better than a spreadsheet. 
​

“If we are used to Anaplan when we look at the spreadsheet, it feels much more complex and Anaplan becomes a very simple formula,” Reza said.

Webinar  "How to Maximize the Value Out of Your Spend?"

7/19/2021

Comments

 
Picture
Friend of Edsen, Indirect spending accounts for a large portion of a company’s budget, and those that make a point of managing their spending in this area can see equally large savings. 

According to a 2014 report from EY, optimizing indirect spending can reduce costs by as much as 25%. But it’s about more than cost reduction. Paying more attention to the quality, and value of products and services that fall under indirect spending can strengthen company operations, improve the quality and reliability of the products and services you deliver to customers, and reduce your risk exposure.

For high-growth companies, the issue can be particularly critical, because they tend to be staffed by people who wear multiple hats and seldom have the benefit of well-developed policies and procedures. As the company expands, the vendor contracts they sign grow bigger, the list of purchases grows longer, and the costs and risks can quickly spiral out of control.​


Coupa is here to empower companies around the world with the visibility and control they need to shop smarter and safer.

Coupa's Business Spend Management (BSM) platform provides powerful capabilities for everyone in your company, your power users, and your suppliers to perform all of their business spending activities in one place.

ED-SEN Consulting and Coupa held a webinar with the theme "How to Maximize the Value of Your Spending?" on August 12, 2021.

Hardin Santoso, Figure Behind the ED-SEN Consulting Project Team that Worked on Anaplan.

7/7/2021

Hardin Santoso joining ED-SEN Consulting is still a matter of months. However, the desire to learn and take certification and contribute to the company is very big. One of the steps that Hardin took was to take Anaplan certification until he reached Level 3 Model Builder.

Hardin said that the level 3 model builder certification is very useful and very related to what is being done in the Anaplan project that Hardin is currently working on at ED-SEN Consulting. "From working on the Model Builder at Level 3, I get a lot of benefits for the work that is being done," said Hardin.

Hardin said that in this level 3 model builder certification, the things we have learned at level 2 are finalized at level 3. We start from the beginning, such as how to gather requirements with stakeholders, building from user stories to presenting the solution, all of which are closely related to the Anaplan project that I worked on at ED-SEN Consulting.

According to Hardin, Anaplan certification is very structured starting from level 1 then level 2, and finally level 3 Model Builder. "So, at first, I took the level 1 then continued at level 2 and I tried to apply the knowledge I had gained at level 2 into the project I was working on, then I just continued to level 3," said Hardin.

For the duration of time, Hardin said, from level 1 to level 2 he worked on it about 4 weeks later for level 3 it was 2 weeks. At level 3, according to Hardin, the structure is wider and there is a lot of data so it must be done quickly because otherwise, it will be difficult to understand.

From the difficulty level, according to Hardin, level 3 has a higher level of difficulty, then level 1 and level 2. Level 3 according to Hardin should be done rather quickly because there is a lot of data and not only makes the model builder but also makes the Anaplan dashboard. This is what makes level 3 more complex than other levels.
Hardin added that Level 3 Model Builder data is more comprehensive, such as working on a project from 0 to completion. In addition, what makes Level 3 more complex is because here we also make designs for the dashboard, the architecture, to data entry, data hubs.

Hardin also said that working on level 1 of the model builder is also more difficult than level 2 because level 1 is the basis, and we are just learning the platform, so we are still in the introduction stage. Well for level 2 just continue from level 1.

In the future, Hardin has plans to take Solution Architect Certification. For this reason, he is currently preparing to take the certification with experience working on Anaplan projects up to the Go Live stage. Currently, Hardin is part of the project team working on the Anaplan project at a large mining company in Indonesia and an Indonesian start-up company.

“Currently I still need more time to take the Anaplan Solution Architect certification because there are several requirements that I have not fulfilled. For that, I am preparing myself by increasing my experience working on Anaplan projects that I am currently working on,” said Hardin.

Hardin is an alumnus of Telkom University Bandung majoring in Internasional ICT Business, Economy. He is part of the Anaplan project team at ED-SEN Consulting. For Hardin, Anaplan is not something new because on campus he has worked on an Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) project. "When I was on campus, I used to work on an EPM project, so when I entered ED-SEN Consulting, it didn't take me long to adjust to working on the Anaplan project," said Hardin.
