Overall Satisfaction with Workday Adaptive Planning

Adaptive Insights is a tool we heavily use in our finance department to help us budget, forecast, and plan the financial success for our company. Adaptive Insights allows us to create sheets that flow into our financial reports and enable us to better forecast the finances within our company. We are able to keep track of incoming and outgoing personnel. We also use Office Connect to quickly update and produce reports to our business partners.
  • The Office Connect plugin gives great flexibility and possibilities for providing a greater level of detailed analysis to business partners.
  • Being able to produce a personnel report across multiple departments.
  • Adaptive Insights helps us keep an acute view of our finances to budget appropriately and continue our growth.
Adaptive Insights is particularly useful for any FP&A department within an organization to better forecast, budget, and plan. It's an exceptional tool that empowers financial analysts to best present a department's financial health to a business partner. It would be less appropriate, from my experience, for departments outside of finance, unless the company does not have a strong finance department that is able to provide analysis for all departments.
