How can you reduce costs and improve your company′s bottom line?

Dave Smoley, CIO of Flextronics, on why he chose Workday

The business software landscape is changing rapidly. While traditional ERP vendors would like to convince you they are the only option, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) vendors like Workday have arrived, offering a alternative that reduces costs and provides a higher level of service than traditional ERP.

Workday offers SaaS solutions for HR and Financials that help reduce costs and improve worker productivity through modern interfaces and tools. Software-as-a-Service provides several cost advantages:

  • Companies no longer have to purchase the hardware, middleware, and licenses up front.
  • Deployments and software updates are faster to achieve.
  • Configuration options make updating the system easier as business needs evolve over time, allowing IT to focus on projects other than maintenance.
  • Companies are always on version “now” and know that they are using the most advanced and effective tools available today.

By delivering modern HR and Financials solutions through a Software-as-a-Service delivery model, Workday can help your company reduce costs and improve your bottom line.

Does your company need to become more responsive and faster at getting work done to stay competitive?

Software systems are meant to help businesses perform more quickly, but complicated customizations and convoluted user interfaces often get in the way of business. Workday is built to get employees in and out of the system as quickly as possible while maximizing the success rate of completing the necessary business processes.

Workday empowers employee effectiveness through:

  • Intuitive and interactive design inspired by the consumer Web. Even novice Internet users can easily navigate around with minimal training.
  • Configurable business processes that clearly direct users to next steps, resulting in fewer mistakes and costly delays and less confusion.
  • A centralized system that managers and administrators can use to get a clear view of the current status of processes and tasks rather than having to aggregate the information from several disparate systems.
