Workday Adaptive Planning’s 2025R1 update includes new functionality to better integrate Snowflake data into Workday Adaptive Planning. Prior to this update, it was not possible for Adaptive to retrieve Snowflake’s data via Snowflake’s API. This was due to incompatibilities relating to data compression. 

Integrating Snowflake data into Adaptive Planning was possible via a JDBC connection (requiring the installation and use of Workday’s Data Agent), transferring files via SFTP or another file transfer methodology or using 3rd party integration tools. The 2025R1 update allows for Snowflake’s data to be loaded into Adaptive more seamlessly without any additional software or third party tools/systems.

Benefits for Existing and Prospective Clients

So, what does this mean for your organization? Here are just a few benefits:

• Streamlined Data Integration: With Snowflake support now available, you can easily connect your Snowflake data to Adaptive, saving time and resources that would have been spent on manual integration.
• Self-Sufficient Integration Management: Adaptive’s Integration Framework enables a full Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) integration allowing for data manipulation, data mapping, error handling and notifications within Adaptive’s interface eliminating the need to rely on IT, data engineering and other teams’ support to maintain your Snowflake integration.
• Improved Data Management Capabilities: Adaptive’s Integration Framework allows you to create multiple data sources, use SQL filters and table joins to select specific data  and change the data type of the extracted data. This is designed to simplify data management and improve data flow efficiency.
• Enhanced Pipelines for Large Enterprises: For large or very large enterprises with strong data governance practices in place, Cloud Data Connect provides a standardized connection for quickly creating pipelines that load data from external data warehouses into Adaptive.
