Episode Summary
Is Workday Adaptive Planning truly a unified solution for financial planning, close, and consolidation? Or does a modular ERP-based architecture introduce long-term complexity for the Office of Finance?
In this episode of the CPM Customer Success Podcast, Nova's Andy Smetana sits down with Dave Collins, Senior Director of Solutions Consulting at OneStream Software, to provide a strategic comparison of Workday Adaptive vs. OneStream and what “unified” really means in Corporate Performance Management (CPM).
As Workday expands its messaging around consolidation capabilities, many CFOs, CAOs, Controllers, and FP&A leaders are evaluating whether an ERP-driven approach to financial close can deliver the scalability, governance, and control required in today’s environment.
This episode breaks down:
-
The architectural differences between a modular ERP + planning stack and a true unified CPM platform
-
Where technical debt builds up in cross-cloud integrations and file-based data movement
-
The hidden operational risk of fragmented financial consolidation processes
If you are evaluating Workday Adaptive Planning, OneStream Software, or other Corporate Performance Management solutions, this discussion provides an executive-level lens to make a strategic, long-term decision.
