It’s time for a modern budgeting and forecasting solution.

Outdated FP&A platforms can leave today's enterprise struggling with limitations on model size, dimensionality, number of versions, and batching, not to mention constraints on the number of what-if scenarios you can run. Workday Adaptive Planning removes those limitations, freeing you to plan, budget or forecast as you want, when you want, and as much as you want.

Build better KPIs.

It’s difficult to identify and measure the right KPIs, unless you’ve run scenarios and tested the results of your hypotheses. Whether to hire more salespeople, or expand into new markets, or delay releasing your new project; all of these decisions should be driven by data, not gut instinct. With a powerful, comprehensive enterprise planning solution, you’ll be able to identify a path forward, create measurable KPIs, and align your organization around common goals.

Increase collaboration and adoption.

Engaging the broader organization in scenario planning and what-if analysis gives you a significant competitive advantage as well as a real-time view on challenges and opportunities. Your operational leaders often have more current information than you do. And when they can easily access data and share reports they can more easily collaborate with you to create robust models. When you work from the same, unified source of data, it’s easier to build alignment and much easier to increase broad adoption of your budgets and forecasts.
