Workday Adaptive Planning used across the company from finance to product operations and sales.
Rubrik, a global provider of cloud-based data management and protection solutions, is growing fast: skyrocketing to 1,500 employees in four years. The company had deployed Workday Human Capital Management to enhance the employee experience, offer greater organizational visibility to executives, and ease HR’s burden of providing employee services and reporting.
Before Workday, manual planning was impeding organizational agility—which is essential to its success. The company was still performing strategic planning via spreadsheets, resulting in fragmented data and shortcomings in collaboration that undercut its ability to actively plan or manage expansion.
Initially, Rubrik deployed Workday Adaptive Planning only for financial planning. But, after the application helped reduce quarterly closings from three months to just seven days, Rubrik expanded the deployment of Workday Adaptive Planning to manage data across workforce, sales, and demand planning.
I think implementing Workday Adaptive Planning has been a significant step forward for our company. To automate planning in a comprehensive manner across the company is setting the foundation for growth.
Doing so unlocked opportunities for cross-functional collaboration and performance improvements. With a new planning foundation using consistent, real-time data, Rubrik sought to accelerate planning processes even further by developing third-party integrations with Workday Adaptive Planning.
This enabled greater planning automation across finance, operations, sales, demand, workforce, and IT. Now, Rubrik teams produce a full balance sheet and income statement with data continuously flowing in quarter over quarter, ensuring that the once-sporadic Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) are held consistently. Planning has become more efficient and accurate and has met the CFO’s goal of three-day closings.
With renewed agility and visibility across the entire organization, Rubrik can be more responsive to market trends and make faster decisions supported by up-to-the-minute management reporting and personalized analytics.
