We design, implement, and rescue Planning Analytics solutions for finance and operations teams who need certainty. A specialist team of EPM consultants — accelerated by our proprietary Rapid Development Framework (RDF).
IBM Planning Analytics is a powerful business performance tool — when it's built properly. When it's not, the inefficiencies compound. We exist to deliver the first and fix the second.
We do Planning Analytics. That's the entire firm. Senior consultants who've spent careers in OLAP EPM, not generalists rotating through whatever platform happens to be the current flavour.
Cubes, dimensions, rules and processes deserve the same engineering rigour as production code. Our designs scale, document themselves, and adapt cleanly to restructures, reorgs, and the finance team that hasn't joined yet.
Our Rapid Development Framework — a proprietary library of low-code modules — handles the repetitive 80% of development work so we spend time on what's actually value-add to your business.
Inherited a model that nobody understands, or one that's slow, fragile, and getting worse? A nightly load that fails half the time? Corrective development is a real practice — not a polite way to sell a rebuild you don't need.
Specialist consulting across the entire Planning Analytics lifecycle — from greenfield design to remediation of legacy environments that have drifted past usefulness. Now extended with AI to bring agentic workflows and trusted data into the models your finance team already uses.
Cube structures, dimension hierarchies, business rules and process design — engineered up front so your model performs at year ten the way it does on day one. The unglamorous work that decides whether your investment compounds or decays.
Full delivery of planning analytics solutions — budgeting, forecasting, consolidations, profitability, S&OP, and reporting — built by senior consultants with skin in the game. RDF compresses the time-to-value without compressing the rigour.
Inherited a model that's slow, fragile, or actively wrong? Most legacy models can be made fit-for-purpose without scrapping the work. We diagnose, prioritise, and remediate — surgically, with measurable improvement at every step.
A library of low-code modules covering the patterns every Planning Analytics build needs — ETL, data/metadata, security, audit, allocations, workflow, reconciliation — so we ship the unique 20% of your model in weeks, not months. Yours to keep, fully documented.
Independent reviews for finance leaders weighing options — replatform, remediate, or stay the course. Practical guidance from people who've built and rescued enough EPM environments to call it accurately.
No more islands. We integrate Planning Analytics with the systems your business already runs on — Power BI for the boardroom, Databricks and Snowflake for the data team, your ERP for the actuals. One number, everywhere it matters.
Close faster. Forecast sharper. Trust every number. We bring IBM watsonx into your Planning Analytics environment so finance moves at the speed of the business — agents that work the close, data your auditors won't argue with, and decisions backed by one version of the truth.
Five short phases. Each one ends with something concrete you can review and sign off — not a progress update, an actual deliverable.
Stakeholder interviews, current-state assessment, pain-point triage. A written findings document, not a verbal one.
Target cube model, dimension architecture, rules strategy, integration plan. Signed off before a line is built.
Configuration first, code second. RDF modules drop in; bespoke logic gets the time it deserves.
UAT with real users on real data. We measure performance, accuracy, and finance-team confidence — and tune until all three pass.
Documented, owned by your team, supported on terms that suit. We optimise for not being needed — and we mean it.
Every Planning Analytics build needs the same plumbing — ETL, data/metadata, security, hierarchies, workflow, audit, reconciliations. RDF is our library of pre-built, battle-tested modules that drops into your environment so we spend our time on the model your business actually competes on.
Across listed public companies and SMEs — different scale, same standard of work.
"Partnering with Graphyte on the implementation of IBM Planning Analytics at Origin has been a highly beneficial. The team’s ability to design and deploy complex models tailored to our unique requirements was impressive. They worked closely with us to understand our business processes as we progressively transitioned from excel based models to this powerful platform. IBM Planning Analytics is supporting us to transform the way we approach planning, forecasting, and reporting. The solution’s flexibility and advanced capabilities, combined with Graphyte’s insightful guidance, has enabled us to streamline complex processes and significantly reduce planning, reporting and analysis cycle time. The platform handles our complex data structures very well, providing real-time insights and significantly reducing manual effort. The integration with our datalake has also been a game changer for the finance and commercial community. Graphyte’s expertise, commitment to excellence, and hands-on support throughout the project ensured a smooth and efficient implementation. Thanks to their efforts, we are on the way to leveraging the full potential of IBM Planning Analytics to drive smarter, faster decision-making. We recommend Graphyte to organizations seeking innovative solutions for complex planning, reporting and analysis needs."
"Our Partnership with Graphyte on the implementation and support of our IBM Planning Analytics environment at Blackmores has been great. Over the past 2 years, we have invested in a range of improvements to our existing financial models to make them leaner and more nimble to our analysis needs. At the same time with Graphite’s support, we have also enhanced the robustness of the change control process in PA. The Graphyte team’s ability to design and deploy new models and support our existing models was impressive. The team is extremely responsive, ensuring critical issues are dealt with immediately and non-critical issues are resolved within a reasonable timeframe. IBM Planning Analytics has been a core part of our finance teams across Blackmores Group and the recent enhancements improve our ability to centralise master data (using their Rapid Development Framework) and start a move towards more common analysis views and datasets to the cloud. This will enable us to streamline complex processes and improve granularity and visibility of data in the platform. Deeper integration with our cloud data warehouse has also streamlined data usage for the finance and commercial community. Graphyte’s expertise, commitment to excellence, and hands-on support throughout this period has ensured a smooth implementation. Thanks to their efforts, we are on the way to leveraging the full potential of IBM Planning Analytics to drive smarter, faster decision-making. Graphyte have been transparent in time spent on activities executed leading to a transparent billing process, aligned to the contractual terms agreed. There are few significant bill surprises when working with them. We recommend Graphyte to organizations seeking innovative, pragmatic solutions for complex planning, reporting and analysis needs."
Graphyte is small on purpose. We turn down the work that doesn't fit — and we put senior consultants on the work that does. No pyramid staffing, no rotating analysts, no off-shore handover at week six.
The entire firm does one thing: IBM Planning Analytics. It's a narrower pitch than most consultancies offer. That's the point.
A 30-minute call. We'll listen, ask a few sharp questions, and tell you honestly whether we can help — or who can.
