We have used the anomaly detection to highlight expenses that may be out of range from previous periods that is helpful. We are starting to look at the Nbeats and Prophet algorithms AI intelligent planning features to help project a forecast for us to give us a headstart.
It has a built-in integration layer to setup integration to pull data in from our multiple sources such as Quickbooks, Harvest, and Asana that helps in our project forecasting and analysis.
The OfficeConnect feature of Workday Adaptive Planning is a big asset to quickly leverage a lot of work and reports we had built in Excel to automate from the solution instead of reinventing the wheel on the reporting side for a quick ROI out of the solution.
Overall being familiar with the Workday Adaptive Planning tool's flexibility and ease of use our finance and ops team saw this as the easiest and most robust tool that they could admin and maintain without outside IT resources.
