Overall Satisfaction with Adaptive Insights
It is being used across our entire organization. We are using it both for forecasting purposes and actuals reporting purposes. We were previously using an in-house built financial system and the implementation of Adaptive has saved us time both in our monthly reporting process as well as our planning/quarterly forecasting process.
- It allows us to provide up to date information to senior management with the click of a few buttons.
- It saves us time in our month-end close process as well as our budgeting/forecasting process.
- Its dashboarding allows us to create visuals and monthly KPI's to report to senior management.
- We would like to see the functionality of dates being added to web reports.
- The month to month maintenance is sometimes cumbersome. This is more of a comment due to the fact that we are a construction company and our structure (jobs) changes on a monthly basis.
- Month-end reporting has been reduced by two business days
- Budgeting and forecasting completed with much less - I would estimate an average of 2 days is saved each budgeting/forecasting cycle per main user.
We have experienced fast reporting cycles, as mentioned previously, we have shortened our close schedule by a day or two in terms of the time it takes to complete the work. We are able to access "live" data much faster than before. We also have created KPI's/dashboards to report to senior management in our monthly financial packet.
It has made the month-end process and budgeting cycles much more efficient which has allowed me to focus on other tasks/projects that my position exposes me to.
We evaluated Oracle, Host Analytics, and Tagetik. Adaptive had a local team based in Chicago and seemed to fit our sweet spot in terms of the size of their company and the size of our company. The sales team pitched the product very well.
