Exact Globe+ vs. Workday Financial Management

For a smaller company I can see this being a realistic solution. The cost is relatively low, complexity and install isn't too painful, and it's not difficult to use for the most part. As a large enterprise ERP system I believe this is a bit too simple. It is a cheaper alternative but would be hard to use if we were much larger.

Our primary model for budgeting revenue is centered on patient counts. Missed assumptions early in the year result in massive ramifications over the balance of the year. Workday formulas allowed us to write formulas to project the recovery of such shortfalls over a variable length of time, resulting in realistic projections for overcoming said shortfalls.

• We specically wanted a cloud financial management system that we could use in China and communicate reports to the headquarters organization and roll-up reporting. It performs well.
• It was reasonably priced since we are not a for-profit company and need the Workday flexibility for finance and accounting operations. Most of our requirements are met with this one system.
• The system worked efficiently with the additional security we built on to keep confidential. Many reports are ready off-the-shelf or easy to develop, which is a strength.

• The necessity to buy individual modules to fit specific needs is a bit of a pain, it feels like you're being nickle and dimed.
• Revision control on bills of material and parts is not intuitive or easy. We have not purchased the engineering change module, but it appears it may be needed to really implement this.
• It's difficult to transfer engineering models from popular solid modeling software, requiring a third party solution to really make the transfer work as designed.

• The automatic save function isn't always active for the cloud version. I'm not sure if it is a glitch or a settings issue.
• There are some limitations to customizations.
• Updates don't go through properly on the system, leading to downtime issues.
