Adaptive Insights Positioned as a Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Financial Planning and Analysis Solutions

PALO ALTO, Calif., July 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Adaptive Insights, powering a new generation of business planning, announced today that Gartner, Inc. has positioned Adaptive Insights as a Leader in its 2018 Magic Quadrant for Cloud Financial Planning and Analysis Solutions¹ for the second consecutive year.  Vendors were evaluated for completeness of vision and ability to execute.

The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud Financial Planning and Analysis Solutions report states, "Digital business is placing demands on FP&A to expand beyond the traditional financial planning methods. Digital business initiatives, such as establishing digital sales channels or creating entirely new digital businesses, must be supported by more-collaborative, agile financial planning processes and performance reporting, so that feedback is received, analyzed and acted upon sooner."

Over the past 12 months, Adaptive Insights has invested in its architecture to deliver the next generation of its powerful platform. As recently announced, the company believes it is ushering in a new generation of cloud planning with its patent-pending Elastic Hypercube Technology. Designed to deliver "no compromise" planning, reporting, and analytics, the architectural innovations add the intelligence for a new class of model calculation efficiency and scalability into the Adaptive Insights Business Planning Cloud. Together, these innovations mean virtually no limits on model size for any size customer.  

The company's Business Planning Cloud is now used by more than 3,800 organizations in over 50 countries, including notable brands such as American Family Insurance, Guardian Life, P.F. Chang's, and Steve Madden.

"We believe being named a Leader in cloud financial planning and analysis solutions again reflects continued market demand for an easy to use and powerful planning platform for use across the enterprise," said Tom Bogan, CEO, Adaptive Insights. "As a vendor positioned in the Leaders quadrant, we believe it's due to our high marks in customer satisfaction, strong execution, and vision. And, with our new Elastic Hypercube technology powering our Business Planning Cloud, we believe we continue to deliver that vision so customers can confidently plan without compromise."
