Room to Read Implements Adaptive Insights for Efficiency

This case study details the implementation of Adaptive Insights by the nonprofit organization Room to Read, which focuses on improving literacy and gender equality in education for children in low-income countries. The organization transitioned from an Excel-based planning system to a cloud-based corporate performance management solution to enhance cross-functional collaboration and operational efficiency. The decision to adopt Adaptive Insights was influenced by the need for multi-country support, intuitive reporting, and seamless integration with their new accounting software, Intacct. The implementation, guided by the consulting firm Armanino, was completed within six months, emphasizing a phased approach to functionality. Post-implementation, Room to Read reported improved transparency in budgeting and planning processes, enhanced collaboration among departments, and increased confidence in managing financial goals. The organization also received positive feedback from staff regarding the new system, which has allowed them to focus more resources on their educational programs. Future plans include further training and system enhancements based on employee feedback.
