Implementing Workday Adaptive Planning
Kabam Games’ FP&A team struggled with productivity challenges in their financial planning platform, further exacerbated by a pricing model that charged for data sparsity. With annual licensing costs potentially rising to $500,000, the team faced an urgent need for a more cost-effective and efficient solution.
Sven led the vendor selection process, identifying Workday Adaptive Planning as the optimal choice. Acting as project leader, he conducted a thorough business analysis to define modeling requirements and oversaw the transition. Sven managed the implementation by coordinating with an external project manager, consultants, and project stakeholders, ensuring the solution met Kabam’s unique needs.
The new platform reduced software licensing costs by over $100,000 annually and significantly improved productivity. The FP&A team reported a monthly savings of 120 labor hours, nearly equivalent to a full staff month, enabling them to focus on higher-value activities. This initiative exemplified how Finance BI drives efficiency and cost savings while empowering teams with enhanced tools for financial planning and analysis.
