Adaptive Insights Benefits

Andrew Rosenberg - PeerSpot reviewer
Adaptive Planning Manager at Alight

For the organization I used to work at, it streamlined the process of creating budgets. It's very simple to create a new version and do some more modeling based on your need for planning things like headcount, other expenses, and revenue, everything is configurable within Workday. 

So that made it easy. Reporting was pretty easy to set up as well. It streamlined the amount of time it took to do the budget as well as kind of making it simple to implement a rolling forecast process. So, it really was more just a productivity increase and time shortening for the budgeting and forecasting process.

Investments and Treasury Manager at a financial services firm with 501-1,000 employees

Budgets and forecasts used to be done in spreadsheets. This causes version control issues as well as broken links when files are moved. Also, if you want to change your reporting structure in spreadsheets it is all done manually. By moving to Adaptive, all of these issues are resolved and actuals, budgets, and forecasts are all merged seamlessly into one planning system.

There are less errors, due to incorrect formulas and manual data entry between multiple Excel spreadsheets. The system has allowed us to take more than 90 spreadsheets and combine them into one system which automatically calculates based on assumptions, dimensions, etc.

Senior Financial Analyst at a tech services company with 501-1,000 employees

We have had Adaptive for several years, but it is super helpful when we have a short turnaround time to deliver our income statement if we were to make crazy, strategic decisions.

Manager, Budget & Finance at a non-profit with 201-500 employees

Our organization is able to use Adaptive to complete a major majority of our monthly management and quarterly Board reports. By refreshing reports and pages automatically, it creates the monthly report package with little to no manual staff work. This process was very manual with our old system. Adaptive gives our users the flexibility to budget at either the Natural Account or line item level.
