Case Study: Scripps achieves faster finance reporting and better decision-making with Workday

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

Scripps, the media company, needed to modernize finance operations as it grew and expanded its news and entertainment lineup. By using Workday, Scripps aimed to simplify complex planning, forecasting, and reporting while improving flexibility across reorganizations and acquisitions.

Workday unified Scripps’ finance and HR processes on a single platform, eliminating 32 system interfaces on day one and enabling self-service access to data. The results were significant: monthly forecast reporting dropped from 2 days to 30 seconds, budgeting became more centralized, and the finance team gained faster, more accurate insights to support better leadership decisions.
