Anaplan names Deloitte & partners in Australia awards
Wed, 26th Aug 2026 (Today)
Anaplan has named Deloitte, Cornerstone Performance Management, DataPlan8 and Tridant as winners of its 2026 Australia partner awards, with Deloitte taking two honours.
Deloitte won Partner of the Year and Delivery Excellence, while Cornerstone Performance Management received the Customer Impact Award, DataPlan8 won Enablement Excellence and Tridant took the Innovation Award.
Anaplan linked Deloitte's Partner of the Year award to strong pipeline generation through major application-led projects in Australia. Its Delivery Excellence award recognised work for property developer TOGA Group.
The TOGA Group project was delivered on time and within budget, according to Anaplan. The deployment also shortened TOGA Group's budget cycle from one and a half weeks to half a day and gave management a single monthly operational view across the business.
Cornerstone Performance Management's award was tied to a complex implementation for an Australasian timber products manufacturer, which Anaplan said achieved a high customer satisfaction score.
DataPlan8's award recognised its work in Anaplan training and accreditation across foundations, applications and intelligence. Anaplan said the partner also expanded into new business areas over the past year.
Tridant was recognised for what Anaplan described as the first supply chain application-led implementation among this year's partner award winners. Anaplan also said Tridant pursued compensation planning work through webinars and an applications-led approach.
The awards offer a snapshot of how software suppliers are relying on consulting and implementation partners to broaden their reach in Australia, particularly as corporate clients seek help with finance, workforce, sales and supply chain planning.
Anaplan says it serves more than 2,600 enterprises globally and counts Nvidia, OpenAI, Google and AWS among its customers. Nearly half of the Fortune 50 use its platform, it added.

Alongside the awards, Anaplan said it plans to expand its PartnerAccelerate programme in Australia. The initiative is designed to help more local partners gain accreditation in functional areas including finance, HR and workforce planning, supply chain, sales and marketing.
The move suggests Anaplan wants a broader pool of specialised partners in the local market as competition intensifies among enterprise software vendors pitching planning tools with artificial intelligence features. It also points to a strategy of encouraging partners to build deeper expertise in industry segments including financial services, retail, technology, media, telecommunications, manufacturing and supply chain.
For Deloitte, the double recognition reinforces the role large advisory firms continue to play in enterprise software deployments, where vendors often depend on systems integrators to win, implement and expand major customer projects. The TOGA Group example highlights how these projects are often judged on operational gains such as faster budgeting cycles and more consistent reporting.
Smaller and more specialised partners also featured prominently in the awards list. Cornerstone Performance Management, DataPlan8 and Tridant each represent parts of the partner ecosystem that can offer more targeted services to customers in specific planning domains or sectors.
Australia has become an important test bed for enterprise software suppliers building partner-led growth models, with local customers often relying on outside consultants to manage change, connect planning systems and move from spreadsheet-based processes to more centralised tools.
Steve Singer, Area Vice President, Australia and New Zealand, Anaplan, said: "We'd like to congratulate all of the 2026 Anaplan Partner Awards winners, who have exemplified what it means to be the best.
