Why has Anaplan Opened a AWS Data Centre in Singapore?

Anaplan has announced the launch of new AWS data centre in Singapore, expanding its global infrastructure and improving access to AI-powered planning tools for organisations in Southeast Asia. 

This move helps businesses use Anaplan’s real-time analysis platform while meeting regulatory requirements and data security expectations.

Strategic expansion into Southeast Asia

The AWS-hosted data centre enhances local performance, speeds up processing and ensures data remains within Singapore. 

For industries such as financial services and the public sector, where compliance and security are critical, local infrastructure is essential.

Carol Potts, General Manager for North America ISV sales at AWS, says: "The launch of Anaplan on AWS in Singapore represents a strategic milestone and reinforces our shared commitment to customers across Asia-Pacific."

"By expanding Anaplan’s availability on AWS, we’re enabling organisations in the region to securely scale cross-functional planning and accelerate decision-making using AWS’s global infrastructure," she adds. 

The expansion gives Southeast Asian businesses access to Anaplan’s artificial intelligence and machine learning features. 

These capabilities support quicker, more informed decision-making across finance, sales, supply chain and workforce planning teams.

Meeting data sovereignty needs

With this new site, Anaplan strengthens its ability to meet local data sovereignty laws. 

Customer data remains within Singapore, helping organisations comply with national regulations on data privacy and handling.

Amit Bagga, Managing Director, APAC, at Anaplan, says: "We are delighted to bring the Anaplan platform, including our new suite of role-based AI agents, to Singapore and the broader Southeast Asia region.

"Data sovereignty is a stringent requirement for our clients and our new location ensures that their data remains within Singapore, adhering to local regulations. 

“Plus, with Anaplan Intelligence, businesses can harness the power of AI to optimise and unify their finance, workforce, sales and supply chain planning processes, gain deeper insights and make strategic decisions with confidence."

The Singapore launch also introduces Anaplan Intelligence to the region. These AI tools support advanced planning by embedding automation and intelligence into cross-functional workflows. Role-specific AI agents help teams act faster and with greater confidence using real-time data.

Expanding regional infrastructure

The Singapore facility adds to Anaplan’s regional infrastructure, joining other data centre locations in India, Indonesia and Australia. 

These expansions form part of a wider US$500m innovation roadmap, focused on global reach and local service delivery.

This investment supports digital transformation efforts across the Asia-Pacific market. With AWS infrastructure, Anaplan provides secure and scalable services that meet the needs of enterprises working under strict governance and risk frameworks.

By operating from within the region, Anaplan offers improved performance and lower latency, supporting enterprise-wide planning needs.

Customers also benefit from AWS’s established security and availability zones.

The Singapore data centre helps organisations plan and adapt faster in a complex environment. 

It brings local support for unified data analysis and AI planning while keeping information protected and compliant with Singaporean law.

Through these infrastructure developments, Anaplan continues to align its technology with the requirements of modern businesses across Southeast Asia. 

The focus remains on enabling faster decisions, tighter integration between teams and better use of enterprise data across all planning functions.
