Case Study: ITE Group, PLC achieves streamlined global budgeting and instantaneous consolidation with Workday Adaptive Planning

ITE Group overhauls global budgeting and forecasting process

ITE Group, a London-based organizer of over 200 trade exhibitions and conferences across 15 countries with more than 1,000 staff and £180M in annual revenue, struggled with a fragmented, spreadsheet-driven global budgeting process. The manual approach made the annual budget cycle take three to four months, required time-consuming and error-prone consolidation and currency adjustments, and hindered management reporting, reforecasting and report sharing.

Working with Clear Plan to deploy Adaptive Insights, ITE implemented a web-based planning solution in under two months and rolled it out to 30 users. The platform provided instantaneous consolidation, Excel-like functionality and remote access, cutting currency-adjustment tasks from up to two days to under ten minutes, improving visibility into potential issues and saving substantial time on budgeting and forecasting.
