Pigment Catalyst: Rethinking Planning in the AI Era
A look back at the Pigment Catalyst event, which explores how AI is redefining enterprise planning. The event highlighted the unification of Finance and Operations functions and the emergence of AI agents, marking a turning point for modeling.
Pigment Catalyst brought together Finance, Business, and Data decision-makers around a central topic: how to drive performance in a faster, more uncertain, and more interconnected world . Highlights of the event: Excellent quality, concrete, and mature customer testimonials , illustrating transformations already well underway A clear vision of planning in the AI era , now fully integrated into everyday use The rise of unified planning , breaking down silos between Finance, HR, and Operations And a very convincing demonstration of agentic AI at the heart of the Pigment platform I was particularly impressed by Pigment's execution speed on the subject of AI. The modeler agent marks, in my opinion, a real turning point: it has the potential to revolutionize modeling , secure best practices , and significantly raise the quality level of models. What this changes for us, integrators and partners These rapid technological developments are profoundly changing our profession. We are increasingly becoming orchestrators : capable of assembling tools, data, and AI, leveraging them to serve concrete business needs , and supporting their implementation in complex organizations. In this context, some fundamentals do not become secondary—on the contrary, they are more key than ever: strong business expertise , to give meaning to technologies, demanding human support , to secure adoption and value creation over time. Technology moves fast. The success of transformations , however, always relies on understanding business needs, uses... and the men and women who drive them. A big thank you to the Pigment teams for the quality of the event, its organization, and the richness of the exchanges. '''
