Pigment

Pigment is a next-generation business planning platform designed to replace legacy tools like Anaplan and complex spreadsheets. Its technical architecture is built on a high-performance multi-dimensional calculation engine that allows for real-time updates across interconnected models without the 'cell-link' fragility of Excel. By 2026, Pigment has solidified its position in the market by deeply integrating 'Pigment AI'—a generative layer that enables finance and operations teams to query data, build visualizations, and run complex 'what-if' scenarios using natural language. The platform emphasizes a 'no-code' modeling experience, allowing non-technical business users to create sophisticated logic while maintaining enterprise-grade governance. Its architecture supports massive datasets, making it a preferred choice for mid-market and enterprise companies looking for a single source of truth across Finance, HR, and Sales. The 2026 outlook highlights its expansion into automated anomaly detection and autonomous forecasting, positioning it as the cognitive core of corporate strategy departments.
