Case Study: Konica Minolta achieves 33% faster budgeting and improved management reporting with Workday Adaptive Planning

Konica Minolta improves management reporting

Konica Minolta Business Solutions, a leader in imaging and networking technologies, faced a broken budgeting process that relied on a single 15‑tab spreadsheet. The manual approach created security and version‑control issues, limited stakeholder participation and collaboration, prevented combining ERP and supporting schedules (headcount, capital, payroll) for reporting, and generated frequent user errors and inconsistent assumptions.

Konica Minolta deployed Adaptive Planning to 127 users with brief web training and ongoing tips, moving budgeting to a secure, collaborative cloud model. The change increased contributor participation, cut the budget cycle by 33%, eliminated 1.5 FTEs, reduced errors, and delivered faster, more accurate management reports and immediate ROI.
