Case Study: ENMAX achieves scalable, cloud-based finance efficiency with Workday Adaptive Planning

ENMAX improves finance efficiency with a scalable, cloud-based system

ENMAX, a Calgary-based energy company operating across Alberta and Maine, faced a fragmented back-office environment with an outdated, unsupported finance system, heavy manual processes, and limited, inconsistent access to financial insights—placing strain on controller teams and IT resources.

By deploying Workday’s cloud-based financial and HCM suite, ENMAX unified its data core, automated processes, and improved security and reporting. The shift freed IT to focus on innovation and delivered measurable gains: 30% more strategic finance work, a 33% faster quarterly close, cost allocation runtime cut from nine hours to minutes, mobile expense adoption at 85%, expense cycles shortened to seven days, and a streamlined chart of accounts (1,500 to 308) with 14 new reporting dimensions.
