Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), Adaptive Insights, Inc. (the “ Company ”) hereby requests that, effective as of the date first set forth above, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) consent to the withdrawal of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-224996), together with all amendments and exhibits thereto (collectively, the “ Registration Statement ”). The Registration Statement was originally filed on May 17, 2018 and was amended on May 29, 2018 and June 1, 2018. No securities have been issued or sold under the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC.

The Company is applying for withdrawal of the Registration Statement because the Company has merged with Workday, Inc. (“ Workday ”) and has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Workday, effective August 1, 2018. The Company requests that the SEC consent to this application on the grounds that withdrawal of the Registration Statement is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors, as contemplated by paragraph (a) of Rule 477 of the Securities Act.

Accordingly, we request that the SEC issue an order granting the withdrawal of the Registration Statement (“ Order ”) effective as of the date hereof or at the earliest practicable date hereafter. Please provide a copy of the Order to Calise Cheng of Cooley LLP, via email at ccheng@cooley.com or via facsimile at (650) 849-7400. It is our understanding that this application for withdrawal of the Registration Statement will be deemed granted as of the date that it is filed with the SEC unless, within fifteen days after such date, the Company receives notice from the SEC that this application will not be granted.
