Case Study: Scripps achieves faster, more flexible finance planning with Workday Adaptive Planning

Finance makeover helps media giant adapt as revenue grows and news and entertainments lineups expand

Scripps, the diversified media company behind local television and national news and entertainment networks, needed to modernize finance and HR as it shifted away from print and expanded through acquisitions. The company struggled with time-consuming reporting, data reconciliation, and disconnected systems, and turned to Workday Adaptive Planning along with other Workday products to better link finance and HR.

Workday Adaptive Planning helped Scripps unify financial and HR data, streamline planning and forecasting, and support faster reorganizations and acquisition integration. The impact was substantial: Scripps cut monthly forecast reporting from 2 days to 30 seconds, eliminated 32 system interfaces on day one, improved self-service access to data, and increased accounting reporting flexibility, efficiency, and productivity.
