WORKDAY ADAPTIVE PLANNING · POST-GO-LIVE SUPPORT
Evan Blais built Adaptive Planning from inside Workday and RSM. Now he works directly with finance teams who need enterprise-quality expertise without the enterprise wait.
WHAT YOU GET
Senior, embedded Adaptive expertise. No SOW, no queue. Big-four quality at half the rate.
THE PROBLEM
Your implementation partner has moved on. Getting them back means a new SOW, a new budget approval, and getting in line behind their next project.
Big Four firms bill senior Adaptive resources at $350–600/hr — with junior consultants doing the actual work. You're paying partner rates for analyst execution.
Finance runs on quarter-end deadlines, board decks that can't slip, and late nights that don't wait for a SOW to clear procurement.
WHY EVAN
Expert level Adaptive Planning Support. Evan has spent the last 10 years of his career focused purely on Workday Adaptive Planning. He's not a finance generalist who happens to know Adaptive.
Big-four quality, half the rate. Accenture and Deloitte bill senior Adaptive resources at $350–600/hr. Evan delivers the same expertise for half the cost and no firm overhead.
You get direct access, always. You contact Evan directly. He answers.
Full Stack Support. Post-live problems can span anywhere from integration problems to reporting issues. Evan can solve all of it, without handing off.
US-based. Works your hours. No language barriers, no timezone lag.
A bench, not a bottleneck. When work scales, Evan subcontracts to vetted specialists across implementation, integration, and post-live support — and personally owns quality on everything.
HOW IT WORKS
01
A 30-minute scoping call. Evan asks what's broken, what you need, and whether he's the right fit. No pitch deck.
02
A one-page MSA. No SOW, no procurement process. Work on a monthly retainer with no long-term commitment — cancel anytime.
03
Evan is embedded with your team. You reach him directly. Work begins within days, not weeks.
Getting a single contractor approved is faster and cheaper than a big-firm SOW. Your finance team already knows this.
