Model your business. Forecast its future.

Harness world-class modeling to stay ahead in finance, sales, workforce planning, and beyond

Model the financial planning calendar based on your business needs

Model your business exactly how you want to

You should be able to model your business in the same way you view it. So we make it easy for you to perform financial modeling around your fiscal calendar, academic calendar, funding schedules, revenue recognition schedules, and other business milestones. Create models by program, department or business unit, and roll them up into a single, fully interconnected financial model for your business. You can even choose tabular models and views for workforce planning or cube models for revenue.

Here's just a brief sample of the types of models we support:

Model your workforce with ease

Accelerate insights by modeling rapidly

Our in-memory planning cloud exceeds the traditional limits of financial modeling and analysis by delivering an engine that’s intelligent and scalable. Our Elastic Hypercube Technology understands complex model dependencies so it doesn’t waste time recalculating results that haven’t changed. It can also calculate model elements in parallel and elastically add memory and computing power when you need it. That’s less waiting for you—and faster insights for decision-makers.

Simple drag-and-drop reporting makes getting the answer quick and easy

Everybody plans—so make it possible for them to model, too

We know that in business, everybody plans. So your business planning platform should be flexible enough to model and forecast anything—expenses, capital, headcount, revenue, projects, grants, quotas, and territories. And model for any department, any entity, any functional use–sales capacity, workforce, or marketing. With Workday Adaptive Planning, you can model it all.

Model changes in your business and analyze variances from the plan

You’re a dynamic enterprise—now you can model like one

Outdated planning platforms can leave today's enterprise struggling with limitations on model size, dimensionality, number of versions, and batching, not to mention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 model as you want, when you want, and as much as you want.

Integrate ERP, GL, and other legacy systems with your modeling software

Easily connect to ERP, GL, HCM, and other data sources

No other planning solution has the speed, flexibility, and acclaimed ease-of-use. And thanks to our tight, platform-agnostic integration with back-end enterprise solutions from NetSuite, Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, and others, you can keep models always up to date by automatically feeding them with data from your ERP, GL, HCM, and CRM systems. And if you’re a Workday user, you can pull in data from your other Workday solutions to build even more robust models.

Business-managed integrations help you stay agile while reducing the burden on your IT resources. Our click-not-code approach to configuring and automating integrations ensures that the data flows seamlessly, reliably, and you can enjoy not having to shuffle around CSV files.
