“We have been benchmarking with OPEXEngine for over eight years here at Adaptive. We use [OPEXEngine] to benchmark how we are doing against our peers. We use it to set targets, and when questions come up from operating departments. OPEXEngine does the hard work of aggregating data from all the participating companies, cleaning it, and then providing it back to all the companies anonymously.”

Kerman Lau, VP of Finance, Adaptive Insights, a Workday Company

Problem

Make your next move with more than internal data

Your internal numbers can show what happened. They can’t show you what the future path should look like. Benchmarks show you what to expect in your real growth stage and how to get there.

FAQs

The questions benchmarks help answer

How do we take ourselves to the next stage?

Understand where you should focus your resources as you grow and have the context to from a data-backed narrative.

Where are we overinvested?

Identify functions where spend, headcount, or compensation is out of line with comparable companies at your growth stage.

Where are we underinvested?

Spot gaps that may be limiting retention, expansion, services revenue, or delivery capacity.

Are our targets defensible?

Pressure-test growth, margin, hiring, and efficiency assumptions with validated external data.

How should we prioritize resources?

Align leadership on where to spend, where to cut, and which trade-offs matter most.

What will the board or investors ask?

Walk into discussions with a clear answer to “what does the next stage look like? What is our long-term plan?”
