planning cloud to France
A
daptive Insights, powering a new generation of business
planning, continues its expansion in France with in-country
support, channel partners and new customers. The company
is committed to bringing its Business Planning Cloud to French
organisations to help them achieve agility in today’s fast-moving
world. Adaptive Insights recently announced surpassing US$100
million in annualised revenue, crediting its easy-to-use platform that
is used by business and finance users alike.
Adaptive Insights continues to expand its customer list in Europe
with organisations of all sizes and across all industries. ASCO
Industries, a leader in the design and manufacturing of equipment
for the aerospace industry located in France, chose Adaptive Insights
for its company-wide planning.
“When we made the decision to move our planning to the cloud,
Adaptive Insights was the clear choice,” said Nicola Cheesman, ASCO
Industries’ Finance Systems Manager for Europe and the Middle
East. “We needed an easy solution that everybody could use and
didn’t require complex IT development and programming, yet one
that could scale with our growing business and be modelled by users,
not IT programmers. We’re delighted that Adaptive Insights has
expanded its presence and support in our region as more and more
French companies turn to the Business Planning Cloud for planning,
reporting and analysis.”
Fred Gewant, Chief Revenue Officer of Adaptive Insights,
commented: “We see a tremendous opportunity to deliver the
Business Planning Cloud in France as organisations of all sizes
implement business planning orchestrated by finance. Now with
a dedicated team in-country and a strong partner network, we’re
well-positioned to help French organisations transform their business
planning process.”
