Pros

“We can turn around our financial results so much faster than we previously could, and then use those values to project out a rolling forecast easily once the initial formulas are set up.”
EP

Emily P.

Finance Manager

“Workday Adaptive Planning has become an indispensable tool for my daily business.”
VB

Valary B.

Manager

“It has all of the key integrations making the data reliable and in sync with major accounting systems”
PD

Pat D.

Sr. Director, Finance

Pros

“It made reporting much faster because I didn't have to manually copy and update information every time. Since it works within Excel, the learning curve wasn't too steep, especially for people who are already comfortable using spreadsheets.”
