Previous Business and System Challenges:
- ADP HR Perspectives was not feature-rich enough to support future growth plans
- Too many processes still manual or paper-based
- No employee or manager self service
- Weak reporting with ADP HR Perspectives
Why Workday?
- Software-as-a-Service model helps their busy IT department support an important software implementation
- Leading-edge underlying technology
- Support Workday’s vision and strategy for products—believed the company would be further along in 1-2 years with Workday than with a traditional vendor like Lawson, Oracle, or SAP
- Liked being one of “Dave’s First 50 Customers” so they could have influence on product direction and strategy
- Good synergy between the two companies—same values of integrity and innovation
- Usability and simplicity to roll out employee and manager self-service
- Ability to automate the manual and paper-based processes with Workday’s configurable workflow
- Better reporting with Workday delivered to the manager desktop
