Challenges

• 14-year-old ERP system had become cumbersome and difficult to use as the company's needs changed and as employees increasingly leveraged the Web to get work done
• The HR and Payroll organizations often duplicated efforts and stored employee information in multiple locations due to their reliance on paper-based processes and bolt-ons to their ERP system to bypass its limitations
• Costs associated with maintaining and supporting the system increased beyond expectations with a constant need to update, patch, fix, and upgrade

Solutions

• Workday Human Capital Management, Payroll
• Flexible, modern solution that reduces IT burden, puts HR business processes online to fit operations, and delivers a contemporary web user experience
• Employees can gain access from any location with an Internet connection or mobile device and require little to no training because of the intuitive user interface

Results

• Thousands of dollars in cost savings from no longer maintaining and supporting the infrastructure of an on-premise application
• Built an automated workflow, eliminating many paper-based processes that used to take significant time and resources from the HR organization
• Improved HR, manager, and employee productivity with HR transactions beginning with the end-user
• Tremendous efficiency in payroll—paperless and 67% faster
