Implementing a robust FP&A solution can be time-intensive, expensive, and complex. As companies grow and acquire, the need for speed and accuracy intensifies. An implementation gone wrong will lead to inaccurate financial reporting, which can be extremely challenging to modify or change – until now.
Watch our 3-part webinar series to learn how to use Alteryx to quickly and accurately upload and build or modify a level and General Ledger (GL) structure in Workday Adaptive Planning!
Methodology
Speed and accuracy are paramount. Why is the Capitalize implementation methodology so powerful?
There are two foundational elements in Workday Adaptive Planning: level and GL structure. These two elements determine the accuracy of financing reporting. For new clients, it is of the utmost importance to establish an accurate level and GL at the onset of implementation. For existing clients, it’s imperative that the level structure is continually maintained and validated.
In either of these situations, we need things to be done accurately and quickly. This can be challenging because companies deal with millions of rows of raw data, complex business logic, and diverse teams.
Solution
While each webinar in the 3-part series will be valuable in a standalone capacity, we encourage all prospective and existing users to attend all three. We will take live questions and follow up on an individual basis as needed.

- Quickly and accurately consolidate disparate data sources to identify all levels at which an organization plans and analyzes their finances and format that data for upload into Adaptive
- Rapidly modify or enhance an already existing level structure
- Example: Applying level attributes
