Case Study: WNS achieves a 50% faster annual budget cycle and deeper financial analysis with Workday Adaptive Planning

Adaptive Insights Streamlines Complex Budget for India-Based Company WNS

WNS is a global business process management and outsourcing firm with over 47,000 professionals across 60 delivery centers. Rapid growth and complex, manual budgeting processes—requiring 25 analysts and about five months to close the annual budget—left the company seeking a technology-driven financial performance solution that could meet an aggressive 40‑day implementation deadline ahead of the next budget cycle.

WNS chose Workday Adaptive Planning and engaged partner Deflytics to implement it within 40 days. The cloud-based rollout cut the annual budget cycle in half, automated allocations and consolidation, and freed analysts to perform deeper, more granular analysis, run what‑if scenarios, expand reporting, and identify areas for improvement — enabling the budget to be presented to the board in half the time.
