Workday Adaptive Planning Reviews

We use Adaptive Insights, a Workday company as our budgeting - forecasting and financial reporting tool. Our financial analyst is the primary users of the system - they meet with department heads and enter any budgeting or forecasting information into the system. We use Adaptive Insights, a Workday company across the whole organization. We also use Adaptive Insights, a Workday company, as our financial reporting system. We export our financial results from our financial accounting system into Adaptive Insights, a Workday company, and use it to provide consolidated financial reporting.

Adaptive Insights is used globally within Finance and within each department. Adaptive Insights addressed the issue of efficiency, user error, real-time data, and the ability to stop being so reliant on Excel spreadsheets.

We use Adaptive Insights for all of our reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and KPI needs. Currently, all of our Operations leaders, CFO, COO, Finance, Accounting, and some of our department heads are users of this tool. Adaptive Insights has allowed us to scale the business efficiently as well as distribute results in a timely and accurate manner. We've also been able to improve our accountability and drive towards our desired results.

We currently use Adaptive Insights in the finance department, utilizing its capabilities for financial forecasting. We use it for a full P&L, balance sheet and cash flow solution, and use it for all financial reporting when it comes to forecasted numbers. It makes our department much more malleable and quicker, able to turn data around in hours as opposed to the days it might have taken in the past.

Phase 1 of our project included our Administrative team and C-Suite only. Adaptive has helped with 'real time' collaboration efforts among our team using Process Tracker for Task Assignments and a communication medium, as well as Workflow for protecting data integrity during the planning process. It helped streamline and gain efficiencies in planning, 'what if' scenarios, and reporting; it's also reduced the inevitable, unintentional Excel workbook errors.

Our company uses the Adaptive Planning module. Although some of our sales managers and human resources are occasional users, it is mainly used by our Financial Planning and Analysis department. Our financials are in SAP and our company does not have an adequate reporting tool to get useful information from SAP. We use Adaptive to download and populate our profit and cost center structure into Adaptive Planning. We also build our annual budget and forecasts using Adaptive Planning. Perhaps the most used function is the reporting, where we compare actual performance to budget across hundreds of cost centers each month. Using the product we are able to streamline our reporting process and do the work of an army of analysts with just two people.

We are working towards Adaptive Insights being the single source of truth for Financial Reporting within the Comcast Technology Solutions by combining Business Data to drive forecasting. We were the first group within Comcast to implement Adaptive. There are other instances that are currently being launched as well.

Right now it is primarily the FP&A team that makes changes, and for revenue, for we have business operations partners that input their customer revenue forecast.

We previously were using Essbase to do all of our planning, but the CTS group operates quite differently compared to the rest of Comcast. Imagine operating a startup inside a cable box. Adaptive gives us the flexibility to make detailed changes to our business units and accounts quickly and have immediate reporting results. As opposed to keeping track of detailed Essbase strings, making changes and then waiting every two hours to make sure they were made correctly.

Adaptive Insights is used company-wide at Goodwill of Central & Southern Indiana. We import and distribute actual figures related to our company's profit & loss statement and balance sheet. In addition, we complete two annual budget planning cycles in the system.

Adaptive Insights has allowed us to complete more accurate and timely forecasts, consolidate our company's financials, and plan dynamically.

We use Adaptive for our financial reporting. One of our many challenges is our multicurrency reporting as we have a presence in both the UK and APAC.

We are only using the product in our Accounting and Finance department. Mainly, Adaptive Insights has enabled us to perform a plethora of tasks, ranging from month-end reporting, break-even analysis, ad-hoc requests, and as a data warehouse to store multiple systems worth of necessary data that helps with business decisions. We have not fully used every aspect of the system, however, we are driving towards that now. I have only been using the system for the last 4 months and all I can say is, the features, the cleanliness and the organization of Adaptive Insights has given, not only myself, but our overall team a very useful, business tool.

We purchased Adaptive Insights three months ago and are currently still in the implementation phase. We have our PnL currently up and running but it is our intention to build a full three statement model in Adaptive. The very intuitive interface allowed us to progress quickly with the implementation. At this moment all of our users are from the local finance teams but as we progress with the roll-out of our functional budgeting we will give other departments viewing and reporting access as well.

Adaptive Insights is our primary budgeting, forecasting and reporting tool. It is used by our finance team for projecting P&L's, Balance Sheets and Cash Flows. Adaptive has allowed us to complete our annual Planning cycle more timely and accurately and is great for producing multiple "what-if" scenarios. Best of all, there is no more searching through file after file for the "Final" plan version.

Adaptive Insights is our main budgeting and forecasting software used by the entire organization. Our finance team is responsible for making all updates to our operating model within Adaptive, and budget owners currently use Adaptive for its reporting functionalities so they can see what is currently in their approved budget and any budget versus actuals analysis they need.

Adaptive Insights is used as a budgeting, forecasting, and financial statement tool for the Finance and Accounting group. The tool also supports senior leadership for tracking financials and targets that have been approved by management.

Adaptive Insights is being used to generate reports for quarterly and yearly reporting across many of our clients (external and internal). It helps keep all the data centralized and organized for report building. There are a multitude of features that adaptive insights has that make extraction of data as well as implementation smooth.

Adaptive Insights is used by select departments in our organization. It addresses our forecasting and budgeting issues by allowing us to customize the sheets that we use. It also reduces our time for reporting as Office Connect is linked to our Adaptive Insights details and can be refreshed with a click of a button.

Consolidates our financial accounting and financial forecasting globally. It is used by the Finance team to support the whole organization. We are able to automate the vast majority of our general ledger and have simple input sheets that non-technical users can use to update the forecast in real-time. Reporting is seamless for a forecast to forecast comparisons and forecast to budget.

It is being used across the whole organization. It helps gets everyone on the same page and see where we can spend money in the future.

As a growing company, we needed to shift from Excel-based budgeting/reporting models to a much more capable (and sophisticated) model. We selected Adaptive based on the tool's capabilities, the fact that it's cloud-based (SaaS), and easily scalable. We deployed Adaptive for all budget owners within 3 months of making our decision.

Using Adaptive, our budget owners and executives now have a much better (and faster) view of our financials, as well as allowing the finance team to spend time on analysis/insight.

Adaptive Insights is used by Finance to assemble all company budgets into one place. Currently, finance is the only one that logs in. It helps us complete the budgeting process, have one source of truth, and report final numbers to the board and executives. It allows for immediate backup, being in the cloud, and you can log in from anywhere.

We have been using Adaptive Insights for five years. We started using it for annual expense planning and have expanded to forecasting, scenario planning, and what-if analysis. Adaptive Insights is used by the entire organization. Business managers and finance use the software for budgeting, reporting, forecasting, and scenario planning.

We use Adaptive across our whole organization. It helps our program leads see their individual budget data instantly and helps make planning so much easier.

Currently, Adaptive is used by our entire finance department. In the past, we did all of our budgeting and forecasting in excel. Adaptive has removed the headaches we used to experience and seamlessly brought everything together in a way that facilitates cooperation and communication. The dynamic nature of adaptive makes it a very collaborative experience and it does a wonderful job at satisfying all of our forecasting, budgeting, and reporting needs. Furthermore, Adaptive integrates very well with Domo enabling us to create beautiful visualizations across versions that make storytelling to executives a true delight from the finance end.

Adaptive Insights is the core of our financial analysis software. We use this exclusively to consolidate our data from multiple branches across multiple regions throughout the country. Adaptive's suite of software has provided us with the ability to streamline our reporting processes along with maintaining a multitude of historic data across all of our organization. We do this across multiple product lines and departments.

Adaptive Insights is being used primarily by the Finance teams—it is not being used across the full company. It's leveraged for forecasting, budgeting, reporting, data visualization, and ad-hoc analysis. It is not being leveraged for Accounting.
