Case Study: VEIC achieves faster, more accurate budgeting and forecasting with Alight Solutions

VEIC streamlining the budgeting process with Workday Adaptive Planning

VEIC (Vermont Energy Investment Corporation), a 275+ employee sustainable energy organization, faced unsustainable, bottom-up monthly forecasting in Excel that involved many stakeholders and lacked a central, accessible system. To address this, VEIC worked with Alight Solutions to implement Workday Adaptive Planning as a cloud-based, centralized forecasting and budgeting platform.

Alight Solutions built a polished Adaptive Planning model, dashboards and reporting workflows that replaced error-prone spreadsheets and enabled broader stakeholder collaboration. The change delivered measurable gains: financial results packets now take hours instead of days, several days were cut from monthly reporting and annual budgeting cycles, variance reporting and scenario modeling improved, and organizational financial literacy and leadership decision-making increased.
