Case Study: ENMAX achieves 50% faster planning cycles and 3x faster consolidation with Workday Adaptive Planning

ENMAX rides the waves of change to drive business strategy

ENMAX, a City of Calgary–owned energy utility operating across Alberta and Maine, faced slow, siloed planning on disparate legacy systems as it grew. Managers lacked quick access to accurate, consistent data, making collaboration and timely decision‑making difficult and prompting leadership to simplify technology and transform planning processes.

By deploying Workday Human Capital and Core Financial Management followed by Workday Adaptive Planning, ENMAX centralized its data model, enabled self‑service forecasting and collaborative what‑if analysis, and supported seamless remote work. The result: planning cycles cut by 50%, completion with 40% fewer FTEs, internal‑query response time reduced by over 50%, consolidated results delivered to senior leaders three times faster, and faster, more strategic decisions across the business.
