Case Study: Broward College achieves $900,000 annual savings by controlling spend with Workday Adaptive Planning

Broward College controls spend, saving $900,000 per year

Broward College, a Florida-based institution serving 68,000 students, faced limited reporting and control under a legacy financial system. Rising operating expenses and frequent out-of-policy purchases made it difficult for the college to get an accurate picture of spend and enforce accountability.

By deploying Workday Financial Management and Procure to Pay (along with Expenses, HCM, Grants, Payroll and Workforce Management), Broward automated its purchase order process, doubled spending efficiency, and cut questionable spend by 50%—saving about $900,000 annually. The transformation delivered a 189% ROI, stronger administrative oversight, and freed resources to focus on student success.
