(NASDAQ: WDAY), today highlights its instrumental role in the launch of the new Workday Adaptive Planning and Consolidation solution. A frontrunner in technology implementations for the office of finance, Abacist Group has been integral to Workday's customers seeking to amplify their finance transformation initiatives.
With a legacy spanning 16 years and the successful completion of more than 750 EPM projects, Abacist Group will assist organizations deploying Workday Adaptive Planning and Consolidation. This new offering from Workday represents a convergence of robust planning and comprehensive consolidation capabilities within the Workday Financial Management suite.
Key features of Workday Adaptive Planning and Consolidation include:
A unified data model for streamlined data management, financial close, planning, and analytics.
Enhanced efficiency and speed in financial processes through a shared data model across reporting and planning.
Simplification of critical group close and consolidation tasks through automation and embedded financial controls.
Empowerment of finance teams via modern, intuitive, and self-service solutions that incorporate AI-driven predictive forecasts and anomaly detection.
Abacist Group's involvement ensures that customers streamline their adoption of this advanced financial solution, designed to tackle the complex needs of modern organizations looking for agility and accuracy in their financial operations.
