  • We've completely eliminated Excel in the budget cycle. I no longer have to consolidate 90 spreadsheets to get the organizational budget. Last minute changes are saved in Adaptive. With the audit feature, I can know who made what change and whether or not it was approved at the top level.
  • KPI dashboards have lowered expenses as users have real-time information on their expense ratio for major events. We've been able to lower costs, increase gross revenue and net revenue all at the same time.

  • Budgeting timeline has been reduced significantly. We have achieved this through the ability to more efficiently update the model, as well as the instantaneous ability to roll the various units together during and after reviews.
  • Month end reporting has been streamlines, such that we can now push out reports and graphs instantly, rather than having to run them individually, and then re-create graphs and charts
