Active Interest Media Achieves New Heights in Corporate Performance Management and Cross-Functional Productivity Through the Use of the Adaptive Suite

PALO ALTO, CA — (Marketwired) — 07/07/15 — , the leader in for the biggest brands and the hottest companies, today announced that , a leading publisher of niche enthusiast publications, has implemented Adaptive Planning, Adaptive Discovery and Adaptive OfficeConnect to achieve greater collaboration, productivity, and data analytics to drive executive decisions. Active Interest Media reaches more than 40 million people in 85 countries, with popular brands such as Yoga Journal, Backpacker, Ski, Clean Eating, Oxygen, Power & Motoryacht, American Cowboy, and Warren Miller Entertainment. In order to better manage the company–s rapid growth and business momentum, its finance department required a top-tier performance management system to break down the data and deliver fast, accurate analysis to executive decision-makers.

Craig Rucker, Active Interest Media Vice President, Finance, self-implemented Adaptive Planning and quickly found that the finance team was able to obtain and deliver valuable financial analysis to the broader leadership team. “With Adaptive Insights, we–re about two months ahead of schedule in creating our annual budget,” Rucker said. “And instead of taking a week to consolidate and review company-wide budgets, we can do it in a single day.”

After a successful Adaptive Planning implementation, the team added Adaptive Discovery and Adaptive OfficeConnect into the FP&A process. Adaptive Discovery has given the team powerful visual analytics features to help people outside of finance better understand performance data. And by using Adaptive OfficeConnect, the finance team has created more than 80 different financial reports by specific business drivers and product lines, and has duplicated existing monthly financial reporting packages inside of their Adaptive model, specifically for users who are more comfortable with the look and feel of Excel sheets.

“In Adaptive, we can look at data in any way we want to,” Rucker said. “That–s a significant competitive differentiator for us, and something that has helped me to evolve my role from pushing numbers to breaking-down data and providing organizational guidance with performance insights.”
