BUYER INTELLIGENCE
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE
BUYING.
Six things experienced IT buyers wish they'd known earlier — plus the analyst evidence behind the OEM's market position.
01
Horizon is an SPM module, not standalone
Horizon operates inside Planisware Enterprise. Organisations expecting a point solution must account for base-platform licensing first.
04
ServiceNow & Jira sync is read-only, not write
Horizon pulls operational data into strategic dashboards but doesn't push governance decisions back—verify scope for two-way enforcement.
02
EA integration depth depends on data maturity
EA sync is only as accurate as the EA repo it pulls from. Orgs without governed EA data need hygiene work before dashboards reflect mapping.
05
OPEX vs CAPEX tracking needs finance alignment
Funding model classification (OPEX/CAPEX) in Horizon reflects how finance teams categorised source spend. Miscategorised spend skews financials.
03
AI simulation needs complete financial data
What-if engine uses existing budget/capacity data — fragmented cost-centre or ERP records without API access delay decision-speed gains.
06
Digital transformation scope drives timelines
Horizon suits large transformation portfolios. Orgs with <50 initiatives or immature governance see delayed value; needs SPM readiness.

Key Capabilities
INCLUDED IN ALL PLANS
AI Duplicate Detection in Demand Intake
ML flags near-identical ideas at submission; structural dedup stops portfolio sprawl.
OKR-Linked Investment Mapping
Execs map each IT investment to OKRs; reallocation shows direct OKR-impact forecasts.
What-If Scenario Simulation Engine
Build, compare budget scenarios under cost, capacity limits; AI flags bottlenecks.
OPEX/CAPEX Funding Model Tracking
Horizon classifies IT spend by funding type, reconciling demand to limits/category.
Agile Execution Aggregation Layer
Jira sprint data feeds dashboards; Horizon updates portfolio health, not work.
Enterprise Architecture Synchronisation
IT investments link to EA components, flagging dependencies, tech debt pre-approval.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
GOT QUESTIONS?
WE'VE GOT ANSWERS.
The questions every buyer asks before purchasing through Stackingo—pricing, licensing, what's included, and what to expect.
01
What minimum saving can I lock in on Planisware Horizon?
The floor discount on Planisware Horizon via Stackingo is 10% off Planisware list — locked within the authorized Planisware partner programme, never an ad hoc markdown.
💡
One detail that shapes the number: Horizon is optimised for large-scale transformation portfolios.
02
Realistically, how much can we save on Planisware Horizon?
Realistic savings on Planisware Horizon run up to 25% below Planisware direct, all within authorized programme limits.
⚠️
The what-if engine ingests existing budget and capacity data. If financial records are fragmented across siloed cost centers or ERPs without API exposure, the 30% faster decision cycle benefit is contingent on upstream data consolidation first.
03
Why buy Planisware Horizon through Stackingo?
Beyond the 10%-to-25% discount, Stackingo's value on Planisware Horizon is commercial clarity — flagging the traps that inflate Planisware bills:
Horizon is an SPM module, not a standalone product
EA integration depth depends on data maturity
AI scenario simulation requires financial data completeness
ServiceNow and Jira sync is read-aggregation, not bi-directional write
OPEX vs CAPEX tracking requires finance process alignment
Digital transformation scope drives implementation timeline
✓
Add one consolidated RFQ, an audit-ready comparable quote, and renewal protection — and the direct route rarely wins.
04
Can Stackingo also implement Planisware Horizon?
Both. As a licensing marketplace, Stackingo licences Planisware Horizon first — but implementation is fully covered: AI Duplicate Detection in Demand Intake, OKR-Linked Investment Mapping, What-If Scenario Simulation Engine, OPEX/CAPEX Funding Model Tracking, Agile Execution Aggregation Layer, and Enterprise Architecture Synchronisation.
🛠️
Stackingo will deliver in-house, orchestrate a certified partner, or benchmark independent quotes for you, so the licence and the rollout sit side by side on one proposal.
