Case Study: Florida Atlantic University achieves data-driven finance transformation with Workday Adaptive Planning

FAU transforms finance operations with data-driven innovation

Florida Atlantic University, one of Florida’s largest public universities, needed a better way to manage finance, HR, and academic reporting across multiple systems. With conflicting views of data and strict state reporting requirements, the university turned to Workday Adaptive Planning and related Workday tools to create a single source of truth for decision-making.

Workday Adaptive Planning helped FAU consolidate data, automate routine processes, and expand analytics with over 12 years of historical information available in Workday Prism Analytics. The result was faster reporting, more responsive support for business groups, and a shift in finance from data entry to strategic analysis, with new use cases created in four weeks or less and data available to 100 users across the organization.
