Many organizations already possess strong building capabilities in-house but face specific obstacles when adopting Polaris. Teams typically have limited experience with Polaris-specific architecture and design, creating knowledge gaps that can impact successful implementation. Organizations recognize the need for expert support during migration and testing phases to ensure smooth transitions and optimal performance.

A critical concern for many companies is finding a low-risk path to Polaris adoption without requiring a full rebuild or engaging large external teams. These challenges can slow down adoption rates and prevent organizations from realizing the full benefits of Polaris's advanced capabilities. Without proper guidance and support, teams may struggle with understanding when to use Classic versus Polaris engines, designing for sparsity, and effectively planning migration strategies.

Keyrus has created a modular, practical approach to help organizations accelerate Polaris adoption while building internal capability. The solution includes three core components: a Polaris Masterclass, Model Assessment, and Expert Access Polaris Co-Pilot support. The masterclass delivers remote or onsite sessions covering Classic vs. Polaris engine selection, designing for sparsity to structure models for scale and performance, and migrating from Classic Engine to Polaris Engine with proper scoping and planning.

The Model Assessment component involves co-analyzing current models and supporting migration strategy development to Polaris. The Expert Access Polaris Co-Pilot provides 80 hours per month of Polaris experts in Americas and Europe to advise and support teams during migration. This dual location access ensures global coverage, multiple perspectives, and redundancy during vacation or sick leave. The approach is designed for teams with Anaplan experience and focuses exclusively on the Polaris Engine, delivered by experts with global implementation experience.
