Comments on the News

"The role of planning seemingly changed overnight with the
impact of the pandemic, turning enterprise planning processes into
mission-critical functions," said Kshitij Dayal, general manager, Planning
Products, Workday. "Whether standalone or as part of the Workday suite, Workday
Adaptive Planning scales with companies to help our customers achieve the

"When
COVID struck, we saw a nearly 50 percent drop in patient revenue within one
month's time, due to plummeting ER volumes and cancellations of elective
surgeries," said Alex Dali, CFO, of ApolloMD, a leader�in the clinical
outsourcing services industry. "Fortunately, ApolloMD had already moved to a
continuous planning process using Workday Adaptive Planning. Our team went from
flat-footed to nimble in no time, moving into rapid-fire scenario planning to
