Transform your planning with IBM and MHR
IBM’s technology combined with MHR’s implementation expertise can take your organisational decision making to the next level.
Move beyond Excel
An estimated 40% of enterprises continue to use Excel as a primary planning tool despite its limitations. The Planning Analytics for Excel add-on allows users to interact via a familiar interface but with greater audit trails for compliance and collaboration.
Integrated planning
iTrent’s HR and payroll solutions generate a rich seam of people data. When combined with data from across the wider business in a single platform, it provides the bedrock for truly informed operational and strategic decision making, eliminating silos to extract key insights for the whole organisation.
Predictive forecasting
Thanks to easy-to-use modelling, your team can ask ‘what if?’ and get answers they can trust. Taking existing plans, budgets and forecasts as a starting point, you can change any operational variable(s) and immediately see the ripple effects across the entire organisation to assess multiple possible courses of action, and make the right decisions more quickly.
Evidence-based decisions
In-built statistical algorithms assess historical values within your data to identify trends and seasonal patterns. You can create reliable forecasts quickly and easily and demonstrate how predictions were determined.
Transform your business planning with MHR and IBM
IBM Planning Analytics with Watson
IBM Planning Analytics with Watson is an AI-powered solution that automates, streamlines and integrates planning across every part of your organisation. Through easy-to-use dashboards and scorecarding, you can communicate plans and related external data for a complete picture, creating a truly data-driven planning process. It equips you to analyse data effectively, reveal trends and perform real-time adjustments for continuous planning.

iTrent Salary Modelling
Drawing on our partnership with IBM, we have created an easy-to-use application to address one of the biggest forecasting challenges faced by HR and finance managers - Salary Planning.

Through what-if analysis, you can directly compare alternative options for better-informed workforce and salary decisions.
