CROWN PROSECUTION SERVICE MAXIMIZES TAXPAYER VALUE THROUGH FINANCIAL INSIGHTS
Zero-based budgeting approach helps put the right resources in place for
burgeoning caseload
Read the full storyContact us
Time is value for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and the taxpayers it
serves as the principal authority for criminal prosecutions in England and
Wales. In recent years, steadily growing volumes of disparate data and complex
cases snowballed into grueling number-crunching activities. “We wanted to focus
our time on adding value to the business, rather than spending so much time on
the collation of data,” recalled Finance Director Chris Sharp. Anaplan enabled a
zero-based budgeting approach, minimized manual workloads, and maximized
efficiency at CPS.
IF I WERE TO DESCRIBE ANAPLAN IN ONE WORD, I’D SAY IT’S TRANSFORMATIONAL.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is the principal prosecuting authority in
England and Wales. As a demand-led service, it has no discretion or influence
over the number, type, or complexity of cases it receives, and the service
handles every case with high standards to ensure timely justice. A notable
uptick in the volume of complex cases meant that the finance team at CPS needed
to rethink how they could better manage and optimize operational resources and
processes.
Setting out to improve finance and operational modeling, CPS first embraced a
platform approach for planning. In turn, they explored new technology options
for planning, citing data security, quick implementations, and powerful modeling
capabilities as chief technology requirements. “We recognized that a properly
controlled cloud-based solution could ensure that our data was more secure in
Anaplan than in spreadsheets,” shared Chris Sharp, Finance Director at CPS.
Working in tandem with Bedford Consulting, CPS implemented Anaplan for Finance
and quickly saw speed improvements in its previous consolidation processes.
Using the platform, CPS was able to produce plans that could be analyzed and
refined in real time across the organization. Not only were Sharp and his team
equipped with powerful scenario-planning capabilities, but they were now enabled
to build the expertise needed in-house to maintain and enhance financial models.
Prior to implementing Anaplan for Finance, the CPS team spent significant time
each month pulling together and collating data. With the platform, consolidating
data became instantaneous, and resource allocation has greatly improved. “We’re
able to determine the resources we need, and thereby we can plan to get the
right workforce with the right level of qualifications in the right location at
the right time,” Sharp explains.
Further, he reports that his team has experienced valuable benefits, including:
* More time to analyze outputs and provide deeper insights within the
decision-making process
* Improved collaboration and greater transparency across the organization
* Quicker response times due to better planning capabilities
Sharp also credits the zero-based budgeting approach for resource planning,
enabled by Anaplan, with giving his team the ability to prepare for an uncertain
future. “Operating in a changing world, we’ve seen a shift in the type of cases
we receive,” he explained. “With the Anaplan platform, we are able to accurately
plan for that now.”
Keeping up in this environment requires the ability to forecast accurately and
flexibly. For CPS, this meant having a state-of-the-art system that could grow
and adapt to reflect future changes. With Anaplan for Finance, the CPS team now
has scalable enterprise planning technology at their fingertips. “If I were to
describe Anaplan in one word, I’d say it’s transformational,” Sharp concluded.
