If you own an on-prem IBM Planning Analytics environment, you have probably been told SaaS is the future.

What you have not gotten is a straight answer about what it actually means for your data, your models, your budget, and your team. This session is that conversation.

We walk through the ten objections we hear most often from IT and finance teams before they migrate: security concerns, loss of control, customization limits, integration headaches, cost surprises, and the rest. No spin. Where SaaS solves the problem, we say so. Where it does not, we say that too.

Who should attend: IBM Planning Analytics and TM1 owners, finance leaders, FP&A teams, and the IT staff who keep the environment running.

You will leave knowing which objections hold up, which ones are outdated, and what questions to ask before you commit to a timeline.
