Deloitte Capital Planning: Enabling end-to-end capital planning processes within Workday
 

Capital planning is essential for managing financial resources effectively and making informed decisions about capital investments. Until now, executing this complex process within a single platform has been out of reach for many Workday customers.

Leveraging Workday Extend, Adaptive Planning, and Integrations, Deloitte has developed a solution that enables users to perform the end-to-end capital planning process entirely within the Workday platform - from logging capital requests to prioritizing and approving them for sourcing. Originally developed for a US-based healthcare provider, the Deloitte CapPlan solution for Workday can be adapted to enable the capital planning process within any industry.

Business Benefits

The Deloitte CapPlan solution automates the key components of the annual planning cycle. It collects the details of each capital request, provides a mechanism for prioritization, offers a summarized view for leadership approval, and tracks spending against the allocated budget.

Overall, CapPlan for Workday eliminates dependency on third-party applications and offline processes and streamlines the overall capital planning cycle. It also facilitates collaboration among different personas in the application to help leaders align on annual budgeting decisions. Additionally, it enables real-time communication between requestors, business leaders, and finance teams so any variances can be addressed promptly. Customers can leverage the Workday security model, reporting, and integration capabilities since the application resides in the Workday cloud. The application configuration is also highly flexible, accommodating a variety of unique customer requirements with minimal effort.

Create, edit, and review capital requests

Rank capital requests on multiple levels

Allocate budget per division for routine requests

Assign routine project IDs and cost centers
