Argano, the world’s leading digital services consultancy dedicated solely to enhancing business performance, has announced the acquisition of Twelve Consulting Group (“Twelve”), a premier Anaplan Gold Partner known for its deep expertise in enterprise performance consulting. This marks Argano’s second Anaplan-related acquisition in 2025 and its fifth overall this year.
The strategic addition of Twelve follows Argano’s recent acquisition of Anavate, uniting two top-tier Anaplan partners under one roof. This integration significantly expands Argano’s Anaplan delivery capabilities, positioning the company as a market leader in connected enterprise planning. By bringing together the specialized strengths of boutique firms into a cohesive platform, Argano is redefining the Anaplan partner ecosystem with scale, expertise, and a cross-industry approach.
Twelve brings a strong track record of solving complex challenges for Life Sciences and Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industries. Their expertise spans finance, sales performance management, revenue growth management, supply chain optimization, and pharma gross-to-net solutions. With this acquisition, Argano enhances its industry-specific Anaplan offerings and reinforces its commitment to expanding technological and AI capabilities. Additionally, the deal opens new opportunities to integrate Twelve’s services with Argano’s existing Performance Consulting and Data Integration practices—accelerating growth across the board.
Twelve’s leadership team includes some of Anaplan’s earliest employees, and the firm has earned a strong reputation for delivering tailored, high-impact planning solutions in dynamic and complex business environments.
