We implemented Workday almost completely on our own. In the first year, we had some help from the Workday team. We didn't depend on third-party integration partners. We did most of the implementation by ourselves. The result was savings in the range of 30 percent. We took 80 HR systems and replaced them with one system. I consider it one of the premier accomplishments of my career.

— Dave Smoley, SVP and CIO

Challenges

  • Global reporting was tedious, manual, and not always accurate
  • Many acquisitions meant that 80 different HR systems existed. Such a variety was difficult to manage
  • Various locations acted more like independent entities. Separate processes and systems didn't communicate with other parts of the company

Solutions

  • Workday Human Capital Management, Cloud Connect for Third-Party Payroll
  • The solutions created a single system-of-record for all global employees. Reporting became easier and more efficient
  • Self-service tools empowered managers, who had an accurate view of their organisation. They now see what employees are working on and how much employees actually cost
  • A subscription-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery reduced up-front investment and costs, and enabled the IT organisation to be agile

Results

  • A single system replaced 80 HR systems
  • The total cost of ownership was reduced to 30 percent of a packaged solution from a traditional vendor
  • The solutions freed HR from transaction processes so it could focus on strategic business projects. HR was able to provide data to business leaders quickly to inform better decisions
