WORKDAY ADAPTIVE PLANNING · POST-GO-LIVE SUPPORT

Your implementation partner left. The problems didn't.

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

The queue

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.

The rate

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.

When something breaks in Adaptive, you need someone who already knows your system — not a ticket, not a queue, not someone learning on your time.

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

An Adaptive expert embedded with your team.

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

From scoping call to work started in days. Simple agreements & fast onboarding.

01

Book a call

A 30-minute scoping call. Evan asks what's broken, what you need, and whether he's the right fit. No pitch deck.

02

Simple agreement

A one-page MSA. No SOW, no procurement process. Work on a monthly retainer with no long-term commitment — cancel anytime.

03

Work starts immediately

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.
