Technical Innovation and Embedded Artificial Intelligence Enable Global Organizations Like Boeing and Mondelēz International to Meet the Growing Scale and Complexity of Large Enterprise Planning
PLEASANTON, Calif., July 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Workday, Inc. (NASDAQ: WDAY), a leader in enterprise cloud applications for finance and human resources, today introduced the next generation of its patented Elastic Hypercube Technology (EHT), the intelligent modeling engine that powers Workday Adaptive Planning, to address the growing demands on organizations as they model more complex business scenarios, manage changing business needs, and expand planning to more users.  

Today’s economic uncertainty, market volatility, and heightened competitive landscape mean planning teams must analyze and report on massive datasets while accounting for a vast number of scenarios. More dimensionality, new types of data and data sources, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), and a growing number of stakeholders add even more complexity to the planning process, making it increasingly important that planning tools deliver ease of use, speed, and scale.
The next generation EHT in Workday Adaptive Planning is enhanced with new embedded AI and performance improvements that efficiently calculate complex models by adding memory and compute power as needed, resulting in dynamic, automatic scaling. This new technology is designed to support even the most complex multi-dimensional planning requirements and a high level of concurrent users, without sacrificing speed or performance.
Power and Scale, Without Compromising Flexibility and Ease of UseBoeing transformed its workforce planning from a siloed process to a flexible, consistent, and scalable solution with Workday Adaptive Planning. With all its workforce data in one system, Boeing was able to standardize processes and increase visibility into open job requisitions, driving cost savings and operational efficiency.
“We transitioned from hundreds of manual spreadsheets in favor of a more flexible configuration on Workday Adaptive Planning, effectively eliminating our reliance on datasets that were disconnected from each other, which came with extra costs to administrate,” said Jeremy McCann, manager of enterprise workforce planning, Boeing. “With the latest EHT innovations, we now feel more confident that we have the processes and visibility required to build the right workforce to execute on our long-term business strategy.”
With Workday Adaptive Planning, Mondelēz International has been able to work more effectively and make faster, more strategic decisions about the future of its non-production workforce.
“Planning is becoming more complex for large organizations, and with more than 90,000 employees across 82 countries, workforce planning at Mondelēz is no exception,” said Marcel Sakr, functional lead, performance, rewards & workforce planning, Mondelēz International. “With Workday Adaptive Planning, we’re able to analyze high volumes of data with multiple dimensions and pull detailed reports in seconds versus minutes. The next generation EHT has helped us gain employee-level visibility and simplify our monthly plan-to-actuals variance analysis, saving time and driving faster analysis decision-making.” 
Faster Answers to Complex Questions with Enhanced Performance, Speed, and ScaleWith the next generation EHT, Workday Adaptive Planning customers will experience: 
Optimized speed and performance. Reports, dashboards, and sheets are designed to open quickly, without any performance degradation, including for very large, multi-dimensional views. Embedded AI in EHT will anticipate and compute calculations based on past behaviors and inspect the overall model to identify empty data cells where analysis is not required.   Higher user concurrency support. With increased scalability, more users have access to the platform concurrently to accommodate the growing number of financial, human resources, and business users engaged with an organization’s planning process.Accelerated data integration. Faster import and export of large amounts of financial and non-financial data will be delivered for complete and accurate models.”For many organizations, the ability to quickly model and understand implications of business decisions and disruptions is more important than ever before,” said Dennis Yen, general manager of Workday Adaptive Planning, Workday. “With our continued EHT innovations – including adding to the solution’s existing AI and ML functionality – Workday Adaptive Planning is helping more than 6,000 companies take control and plan proactively for their futures by providing continuous planning, company-wide planning, deeper insights, and the ability to adapt and perform at scale.” 
Availability The next generation of EHT is generally available to all Workday Adaptive Planning customers.

He emphasized: “Diving into cloud is not just technological advancement; it is also a key force in innovating government service models and propelling the development of the digital economy. With these emerging technologies, the experience of public services, the efficiency of government collaboration, and the precision of government governance will be comprehensively enhanced, providing strong support for the sustainable development of the economy and society.”
As many countries are pushing forwards cloud native adoption, building secure, compliant, and efficient government clouds to accelerate innovation remains a significant challenge. Drawing on extensive experience, Huawei Cloud Stack provides a national government cloud reference architecture for three types of clouds: security clouds, government clouds, and public clouds. Hu Hang, General Manager for International Business of Huawei Hybrid Cloud, interpreted the reference architecture, saying, “Huawei Cloud Stack, with its trusted cloud infrastructure, data-AI convergency platform, and AI-Native cloud, forges a core cloud foundation for the Huawei National Cloud 2.0 solution. Deployed on-premises, we provide over 120 essential cloud services and more than 40 scenario-specific solutions to help governments achieve their national digital visions faster.”
Hu Hang also announced the official launch of Huawei Cloud Stack’s Government Leap Program where three major leaps are involved:
Scenario leap: Huawei will work with customers and partners to create over 10 scenario-specific benchmarks centered around data governance, disaster recovery, cloud security, and AI and drive the modernization of government applications.
Migration leap: Huawei will offer free virtualization migration tools, covering 500+ mainstream operating systems. They will provide exclusive business incentives for the first 50 customers migrating to Huawei Cloud Stack.
Industry leap: Huawei will help customers create more than 100 industry benchmarks to improve their industry influence. They will also collaborate with customers on the publication of white papers to showcase industry-leading practices and promote industry development.
Wongkot Vijacksungsithi, Senior Executive Vice President of National Telecom (NT) in Thailand, detailed the Thailand government’s journey with the “Cloud First” national initiative, highlighting strategic collaboration with Huawei Cloud Stack. Together, they established a national cloud data center that serves as a unified platform for 205 government departments, significantly enhancing service delivery and resource management efficiency. Leveraging Huawei Cloud Stack, the Government Data Center and Cloud (GDCC) system operated by NT now manages cloud resources flexibly and efficiently, propelling the Thailand’s digital government transformation. This saves them THB800 million in annual operational costs for digital infrastructure.
At the roundtable, Kelvin Kibiwott Kiprop, CIO of KoTDA, outlined the digital strategy for Konza Smart City, emphasizing that cloud and AI are pivotal to smart city evolution. In a strategic alliance with Huawei Cloud Stack, Konza has established Kenya’s first Tier-3 cloud data center, facilitating the cloud migration of over 70 core government and enterprise applications in Konza. Looking ahead, Konza is set to intensify its partnership with Huawei Cloud by developing more digital services like a smart customer service and intelligent government OA system. These initiatives aim to address user needs across diverse scenarios and drive forward Kenya’s digital economy.
Since 2024, Huawei has initiated the “Leap2Cloud” initiative, inviting global government and enterprise customers to dive into cloud and unlock its vast potential. Throughout this journey, many pioneering government customers have collaborated with Huawei to innovate on the cloud, improving public services, fostering economic growth, and refining governance. At this roundtable, Huawei Cloud honored these pioneers with the “Leap2Cloud Distinguished Government Innovation Pioneer Awards”, expressing the gratitude for their enduring support and trust. Huawei Cloud looks forward to scaling new heights of innovation together with the partners in the future.
With innovative technologies and numerous industry-specific solutions, Huawei Cloud Stack provides a preferred hybrid cloud for more than 5,500 government and enterprise customers around the world. Moving forward, Huawei Cloud remains committed to promoting global digital transformation and driving the digital economy’s quality growth with cutting-edge tech and superior services.
