We use Workday Adaptive Planning for our yearly budget process and some reporting. Workday Adaptive Planning allows our users to make budget changes and see the net result of the changes immediately. This helps to get us to our target budget more quickly. We plan to utilize the active dashboards within Adaptive for even more real-time data and how it affects the overall organization.

At the University of Washington, we can engage multiple stakeholders to perform their FP&A functional operational work and participate in other projects that extend beyond Adaptive Budgeting data. By utilizing Integration Management, we can create APIs with Adaptive data, allowing for bidirectional inbound and outbound transfer of strategic data to external applications. This supports initiatives that are broader than just Adaptive, all while leveraging the Adaptive platform to drive the technology behind these projects. Adaptive is a versatile tool, akin to a Swiss Army knife, enabling various applications.

Our business units use 4-5 different accounting systems. Workday Adaptive Planning has allowed us to move from Excel hell in consolidating these reports every month, to relatively seamless corporate wide reporting. Additionally, we have moved from a one-time annual plan which always tended to be out of date before it was finalized and the new year began, to continuous forecasting giving management foresight into what is to come and scenario planning to guide potential impact of options. We can create versions and see potential outcomes in minutes now instead of days.

I have used Workday Adaptive Planning since 2017 across two industries (airport and staffing) and I have been amazed of their improvements since then. Working on Excel models and using Access to consolidate multiple branches was a pain and time sucker. I currently do all planning of revenue, COS and operating expenses including personnel in Workday Adaptive Planning and the up-to-date financials as soon as users input their data has been a game changer. I highly recommend Workday Adaptive Planning as your forecasting and budgeting software.
