Ehsan's Growth Take
Pigment is what happens when you rebuild enterprise planning for 2026 instead of 2006. The cross-functional approach — finance, sales, and HR planning in one model — eliminates the version-control chaos of departmental spreadsheets. Implementation takes weeks, not months. The risk is maturity: Anaplan has 15 years of edge cases handled. Pigment is betting that a better UX and faster time-to-value matters more.
