The one page on Seamless Planning
The sheet we hand out on the stand. Budgeting and forecasting on SAP Analytics Cloud and Datasphere, built around your business drivers.
Planning logic held in a spreadsheet cannot be automated, or asked a question.
What you are seeing: The printed A5 sheet for Seamless Planning, as handed out at UKISUG Connect 2026.
Can we re-plan as fast as the business changes?
Most finance teams still assemble the budget from spreadsheets, then spend the time that is left reconciling rather than analysing. Seamless Planning puts the whole cycle in one place, on the SAP platform you already run.
What changes for your finance team
- One place to plan. Contributors submit where they work. No spreadsheet round, no reconciling at the end.
- Drivers, not line items. Volumes, rates and headcount drive the numbers. Change a driver and the plan follows.
- Scenarios in minutes. Versions compared side by side, with the assumptions kept. Re-forecasting stops being a project.
- Finance owns the model. A new entity, driver or hierarchy is a change finance makes, not a ticket for someone else.
Built on SAP Analytics Cloud and SAP Datasphere. Works with S/4HANA and BW/4HANA.
Sound familiar?
- A budget assembled from spreadsheets across departments.
- Planning logic held where it cannot be automated or asked a question.
- Re-forecasting timed by how much effort it takes, not when it is needed.
- Twenty contributors, and nothing holding the round together.
How it goes
- Assessment. Where your cycle goes today, what a model would need to carry, in what order things would change.
- Foundation. Actuals, master data, hierarchies and currency into Datasphere, so the model reads one source.
- Build. The SAP Analytics Cloud model delivered in increments against your live cycle.
- First cycle together. The first real budget or forecast run with us alongside.
- Own and extend. Handover to a named owner in finance, then more drivers, entities and scenarios as you want them.
Why Notium
A planning model is where most partners stop. For us it is where the next part starts.
- Ready for AI. We design the model so an agent can forecast against it, test a scenario and explain a variance in plain language. That is our own product, Notium AI Suite, and your model is shaped for it from day one.
- Backed by research. We work in alliance with universities in Birmingham and Oxford, backed by UK government funding. Their researchers test and improve our methods, and what proves itself goes into how we build your model.
- Built once, grows. Start with budget and forecast. Add predictive forecasts from your own history. Then an assistant your finance team can ask. All on the same Datasphere foundation.
A large industrial manufacturer on Datasphere and SAP Analytics Cloud: weeks cut from the planning cycle, scenarios from days to minutes.
