The biggest impact for me individually has been spending significantly less time assisting end-users with budget inputs and more time analyzing the data that has been input. Additionally, the response time of Adaptive is great as we have had no system outages. Our previous system was very slow and some times the outages would last an entire day and we would need to have a paid consultant assist with getting the system back up and running.

The amount of time it has freed up for myself and the team has been invaluable. We have been able to be more strategic to the rest of the organization. It has also allowed us to be flexible and nimble.

Since implementing Adaptive Insights, I have been able to spend more time on strategic analysis, creating longer-term forecasts, cash flow modeling, and capital expenditure forecasting to name a few. It saves a significant amount of time for month-end reporting.

Adaptive Insights has helped my role because of the quality information it provides. I believe the reports and content on Adaptive Insights have been reviewed extensively before being published, so it's unlike searching Google and being unsure of the validity of a found article.

As a key business partner to a global organisation, I have found that Adaptive has enabled me to fully immerse myself in the aspect of my job that I love the most - talking to people and truly helping them make decisions.

I no longer spend hours worrying about Excel version control or formulas breaking. I can just load up Adaptive and write a quick report and spend more time interpreting and considering the messaging for my business stakeholders.

I feel like using Adaptive I have been able to more easily explain and illustrate financial trends and outcomes that have fed directly into key business decisions.

Adaptive Insights has freed up time that was previously spent checking the accuracy of numbers and has allowed more time to be spent on understanding and trying to improve the numbers. Overall as a result of implementing Adaptive Insights, we now spend less time on reporting and more time focussing on the business.

My role was very much focused upon producing reports when I joined the team and Adaptive has definitely seen an improvement in my workload. With the system saving a lot of time when it comes to rolling forward and exporting the reports month to month, I've been able to spend a lot more time not only on analysing the meaning behind the reports, but also on business partnering and supporting cost owners.

As the owner of SG&A for the consolidated enterprise, Adaptive has been invaluable to my role. I'm able to spend my time doing more analytics than maintaining 40 different spreadsheets. I'm able to report on the consolidated enterprise within minutes as opposed to days or even weeks.

I can get to many parts of the business in less time now. I can easily see what was in the budget plans when things don't match up to actual information too nicely. I find myself spending more time thinking strategically rather than tactically these days because the information is much more available both with standard financial data as well as non-financial data.
