Finance teams can’t quit Excel. Workday wants to change that with AI

Workday Adaptive Planning introduces Adaptive Decision Intelligence, an AI-driven platform aiming to replace Excel in financial planning by integrating data from multiple sources and enabling real-time scenario planning. The feature, currently in early testing, is designed to address version-control issues and data-wrangling challenges common in spreadsheet-based workflows. Workday acquired Adaptive in 2018 for $1.5 billion, and the platform now serves over 7,000 customers.
