584 Workday Adaptive Planning Testimonials

"With Workday, we have the foundation to support our company’s growth over the next 10 to 20 years."

“Every day I see evidence of our ability to grow with Workday, even though we’re a small organization. It is a powerful tool, regardless of your company’s size."

"Before, we would have to ask people to give us account balances and show us the journal entries. Now, with Workday, we can see everything we need without asking other people to provide the information."

"Implementing Adaptive Planning saved us 3 weeks of manpower across 3 people, the equivalent of 5 full time weeks. Next year will be even faster."

"We now produce a better budget with Adaptive Planning. In addition, we utilize the Great Plains connector for Adaptive Planning, which has shaved one day's time off the process when we want to conduct variance analysis. With the connector, it takes less than five minutes to bring ERP data into Adaptive Planning-it's pretty incredible."

"With Adaptive Planning, it's all in front of you in real time. When we make changes to reports or forecasts, everything is immediately updated, and we can see the instant impact."

"Adaptive Planning has really improved our ability to manage to a budget. Once or twice a month, we bring in our actuals, see how we're trending and make course corrections as needed. It's easy to re-plan on the fly."

"I enlisted a consulting firm, Sana Group, to help us build a three-year strategic financial operating plan for the organization. They immediately recommended we build the model in Adaptive Planning. My instinct was to build the model in Excel, but Jacob Greenblatt, Principal of the Sana Group said "No, we are going to do this in Adaptive Planning and you will understand why."

"Revising our plan within one day would have been impossible on our old spreadsheet system. With Adaptive Planning, all stakeholders were able to easily identify the areas requiring modifications and the department heads were able to view the combined numbers on a real-time basis."

"The process of rolling out this solution was seamless. Budget participants quickly felt comfortable and were happy to be more involved in the process."

"Adaptive Planning is so much more flexible than Excel that it is easy to revise your budgets and set a new plan going forward when something significant changes in your business."

"Adaptive Planning delivers the robust functionality I need to manage the business, monitor the bottom line, and stay on track with a budget and plan. It also allows management to focus more on strategy versus data gathering."

"After rolling out Adaptive Planning, we have received some very positive feedback from our users. In addition, we have saved tremendous time on consolidation and making changes, such as adjusting a currency rate, which used to take up to two days and now takes under ten minutes. Adaptive Planning's support team has been fantastic as we came up to speed on the solution."

"I appreciated that Adaptive Planning was very accessible and flexible. I could begin working on building our model immediately, with no start-up costs, and no IT infrastructure required. The documentation and training were also excellent."

"I had been with the organization based in Phoenix, AZ, for about nine months and I recognized a critical gap in our ability to easily forecast and report on key financial data. In my role, I am responsible for managing the financial reporting process and implementing standardized accounting practices. It was critical that I find a technology solution that would allow me to automate the forecasting and reporting process, as well as better enable me to produce a portfolio of financials and KpI's."
