Case Study: Western Sydney Airport achieves faster decision-making with Workday Adaptive Planning

Western Sydney Airport speeds up decision making

Western Sydney Airport, Sydney’s newest airport project, needed a finance and HR system that could be implemented quickly and scale with its greenfield operation. The organization also wanted to move away from fragmented information and gain better control over its data, reporting, and planning as it grew toward becoming a major airport operator. Workday Adaptive Planning was part of the Workday platform considered to support these needs.

Workday Adaptive Planning and the broader Workday solution gave Western Sydney Airport powerful reporting, friction-free workflows, and the ability to update its chart of accounts as the business evolved. Workday helped executives drill down to invoice-level detail in just a few clicks, reducing answer time from days to immediate decisions in meetings and improving trend analysis from months to days or weeks. Western Sydney Airport also reported smoother remote deployment during the pandemic and no loss of productivity when Workday HCM went live.
